You Are Amazing

I loved colouring this Daisy Squidgy image again in these Springtime colours. I just need the warmer weather now to go with it! 

It wasn't until I'd finished colouring my image and composing all the card layers that I decided I wanted to add a die-cut sentiment, and I wanted a 'You Are' portion to go with the 'Amazing' text. After hunting through my images, I found this 'You Are' from a recent MFT Sweetest Safari set, and I set about masking it in order to extract the two words I wanted. 

This is what I ended up with, before adding the die cut 'Amazing', which I cut and layered 3 times in the lime green card:
