For this Challenge I decided to make my Hello Kitty Cowgirl Birthday Card I had planned for my Niece's Birthday coming up in March.  She will be 3!  Wow how time flies!!  I love Hello Kitty and Country themes and she seems to like them as well so this worked out perfectly!

I love to add simple little changes to digi's to make them my own.  For this Hello Kitty I added faux stitching to her bow and bandana to give it more of a country feel to me.  I also added a little glitter to glam it up, and Hot fixed Jewels to her eyes.  The hand cut matte has been faux stitched as well to give it a leather pelt look and of course I added Jewels to make it pop!  I am a jewel freak!
