Wishful Swinging and More Never Before Used Stuff

Hello and again...welcome.  Second post for me today.  If you're looking for my Hippo and Butterfly post, please scroll down one.

I'd like to share with you a card I've made using a never before used digital image from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez.  The image is actually a freebie and can be found here.

After downloading and printing off the image, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz brushed corduroy and tumbled glass distress inks over and around the image.  I love the way stippling gives a "softer feeling" to an image.  I then drew the "tree branch" before pulling out my long retired Watercolor Minis set from Stampin Up to stamp the "trees leaves"; another favorite technique.  Once everything was colored up and layered, I added some white brads before adhering the image panel to my card.  I then stamped the saying before punching it out using oval punches.  I then highlighted some areas using Sakura glaze pens.  The only other embellishment is some sparkle dew drops otherwise I kept the card pretty much clean and simple.
