This little lady is called "Learning is Fun" and I printed her onto white card and then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used my Nestabilitie die to cut her out and a fancy one for the mount.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is blue card and the papers are from Sweetshoppe Designs and this set of designs are called "Raise your level" and felt they were ideal for my card and I have used four of the papers and with the second one I have used a Martha Stewart ABC border punch down both sides and then on top I have used two more of the papers on blue mounts and layed them as shown in the photo.
I then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. And to finish of I have used some letters and number buttons and stuck them down the right side and left side of the card.
