Hello doll

It is Friday, and that means it's time for another illustration card! My last illustration card was made with a sketchy and loose style, so I decided to go in a completely different direction and go with a more solid illustration - something a bit closer to a stamped image.

Like last time, I went for a cute and simple sort of style, just having fun with some colors and patterns. Once I finished drawing her out, I thought she looked a bit like a doll. I'll probably practice drawing her out again - maybe she will go on all sorts of adventures!

I kept the rest of the card very simple. I used a piece of striped patterned paper along with grosgrain ribbon and some enamel dots for a fun factor. I added everything to a top-folding kraft card base, and there you have it.

Thanks so very much for reading!
