Hello :) and thank you so much for joining in the Funky Hand and Tiddly Inks Funky Inks blog hop....we have a veritable feast of inspiration using Anice's lovely papers and Christy's digis!
I am certainly incredibly excited to be involved! As a lover of all things digital this collaboration has meant you can go wherever your imagination lets you. So let’s see what I have created…
I have used the “You’ve Retired” palette from the Wishes andKisses CD-ROM from Funky Hand and the gorgeous “Always the Flower Girl” image from Tiddly Inks.
I have paper pieced the image by printing her onto the Funky Hand papers, then cutting her out and layering with foam pads. The image and the papers were a match made in heaven and I felt that the card didn’t need any further embellishment other than the simple sentiment.

I love this card. Paper piecing the fab image is a wonderful idea and look great. I think you are right you didn't need loads of other things going on, on the card you have made it perfectly.
