WOW!! That's a cart-load of fabulous prizes!! Make sure you go check out the rest of the shabby and distressed batch (NOT the design team ladies, THEIR projects) at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge !
The image I used was generously gifted to me by My Favorite Things. I had fun coloring her with my Stampin' Up! markers and colored pencils.
I made this card for my step-daughter. She's 13 and she is a terrific person! I wish I could tell you all about what she's been going through and how courageous she's been. But the gist is she just wants a NORMAL, happy life and to be HERSELF and stand up for what she believes in without being abused for it!
My brave, beautiful girl.
UPDATE (9/8/2010) My step-daughter loved the card :)
She said it made her cry.....in a good way.
Here is a nice picture showing off the shimmer in the wings:

Hello Adria.. a touching card for a brave little girl. And this image is not only beautiful, but so appropriate. Wings for freedom, a delicate look in her eyes but yet so determined. And the sentiment reflects exactly her whole attitude. Congrats, you found exactly the essence of this image... I just love it all.
Hugs.

O this is just beautiful Adria and so appropriate. My daughter has just turned 11 and the whole world has collapsed on her, so i know that sentiment is just perfect. Its similar to something i tell her everyday. JUST BE YOU!!! Love the colours you have used, those wings are gorgeous and love how you have decoarted the inside just as beautiful. Gawjuss all round!
Many hugs
Leonie
