This is a card for a special crafter named Michelle from Donkey Smiles who loves donkeys (has several on her farm from what I understand) and has lost her left (?) eye in a freak accident. When I heard about this amazing lady I went to her blog and discovered that she is a very faithful woman who is very strong and has some outstanding goals she will achieve as well as an outstanding crafter. Meljen created the cute digi donkey image over at Whimsy Stamps and she and Whimsy has offered it as a freebie for those who would like to send Michelle a card (not a get well card per say, but more of an up-lifting/cheerful one). After I colored him I used the dotted background technique on it (I'm really likeing this technique). The background papers were created with PTI's Friend's till the End stamp set with the stamp off method using SU's regal rose and real red inks (the leaves on the circle were stamped with certainly celery). I chose a one word sentiment (stamped in red) as I thought it sounded like Michelle like to laugh in life even now.
