For my project I used Wild Sprout Gracie. I think every time I use this image I fall more in love with her....she is just so fun to color and paper piece! I originally started with a completely different outfit, but decided to switch gears and am glad I did because I love how these look with the background papers (and who knows, I just may use the other one later on....well, if I can find all the pieces I had cut out on my now very messy craft desk). I added a heart shaped doily behind Gracie and some thick ric-rac trim. The sentiment at the top was cut from the patterned paper and then I added some self adhesive pearls to the top and bottom to make it stand out a bit more. A few flowers and it was done.
