Are you into watercoloring? Every so often I pull out the watercolor paper, my water based inks (love using my Distress Markers), and stamp images to color. This wee toad in a tutu stole my heart- she so had to be colored. Her happy image pairs up perfectly with Quietfire's "Twirl & Enjoy" stamp set:
Below are the steps used to make this card:

- For inside of card, stamp text onto card stock and mount onto patterned paper. Add coordinating strip on bottom as shown.

That's so darn cute! I love the Stickles on the tutu and one would think that the sentiment and image were made for each other.
