On this sweet girl, I used vintage ledger paper for a background. I also smudged some gesso on the stitching so that the threads took on the ink colors from the paper. Also, I penciled in some definition on her bodice and added a collar. One of the things I learned is that I really need better scissors for fussy cutting, so I ordered a new pair and can't wait to try them out on my next project. This card is winging her way to a birthday girl I know.
