Celeste gives you some advice - Art Impressions

Hello AI fans!

Hope you're having an amazing start to your weekend, and hopefully it's a long one for you if you're in the states and celebrating Labor Day. Today I've got a birthday card for you that features the wonderful Celeste sku# U4331 offering you up some advice about women and their age with My Advice sku# G1682 .  :)  

 
I loved coloring her animal print top and then I paper pieced the sofa with some coordinating paper.


Placing the sentiment rolling off the wooden spool added a really fun element to the card, I think! I love how it looks!

 
And a close up look at the flower with the leaves

E000, 00, 11, 04, 21, 23, 51, 53, 55, 57, 97, 99, and 17
R20, 17, 37, and 89
Y23, 26, and 28
