This card is a birthday card fit for a little princess. The image that I used is from Karen's Doodles and is called Princess Pony. I embossed the pink strip of paper that runs behind the image using a Fiskars texture plate (dots). This is my card for the very first challenge at Karen's Doodles United States Challenge Blog.
