It is an anything goes challenge over at 613 Avenue Create this week. So No excuses not to play along. Our sponsor this week is the wonderfully talented Rick St. Dennis.

Theme:  Anything Goes

Image: Bitsy too cool for School

I got out my distress inks and stencil this time around and put together this wonderful background. I used some texture paste to give some texture to the card and used my daubers to add the color.

Here is a closer look at this little girl. You can tell she is very fashionable!

The sentiment is from Created with TLC.

I even put some fun designer paper on the back of the card. (OK so I had to cover up some ink smudges.)
