This challenge was perfect for  my daughter-in-law's birthday card. Here is my furry friend!
I love one of Mo's newest images, Nurse which is right on as she is studying to become a nurse!!  I sized and printed Nurse on white Cryogen and colored her with Copics. I framed her in Cheery Lynn's dies, Polynesian Sails Oval. The center of the Polynesian sails has a circle doily.  This makes the perfect card corners when cut into fours!! How clever is that!!  Using Basic Grey's Sweet Threads and Viva Decor Pearl pens I completed this 6" square card.
