Art Impressions Challenge #202 - Playful People

When I saw the current challenge on the Art Impressions blog , I knew that one of their new clear sets  Got Style would be the perfect choice.   I wanted to create a card with motion for this fun gal and her skate board.  I checked out a few YouTube tutorial videos and created my first slider card. Of course, she is the focus of my scene. But I've used a various dies and designer papers from Memory Box to finish the birthday card.   Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!
