Hey there from Nannyland,
Now and then, I just have to stop what I'm doing and grab a magical Vera Lane digi to create a wacky card for one of my quirky friends. The whimsical expressions on the faces of these images crack me up and are perfect for cheery notes to loved ones who need a little chuckle. This one is called Cinderella (Etsy says she's unavailable at this time) and she lives up to her name with her magical, majestic countenance.
Her humongous eyes provided me with good coloring practice because the eyeballs on the original image are just tiny dots in the middle of large white circles. She looks really cute that way but I loved giving her eyelids with long lashes and large colorful irises to make her a little more glamorous. I added to her a regal look by adding gems to her gown and a sparkly purple rhinestone to her crown. I used the cutting and writing features in Cricut Design Space to create the tag card base, the coordinating iron gate and the sentiment.

This card will be perfect for my daughter who lives in Copenhagen, Denmark where an actual queen literally rules over her kingdom. Since Denmark is often listed as the most peaceful place in the world, the Queen must be a very happy lady.
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.

Amazing coloring, especially the eyes! Vera Lane images are fun and I love to use them in art journaling but making a card with them is a great idea. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Funday Challenge!
