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
