For my card, I have used Mo Manning's new Sprout.

I sized and printed Sprout onto Cryogen paper with my inkjet printer.  Copics used:
Sprout - E000, E00, R20
Hair - E11, E08
Bibs - E25
Patches - RV25, R29
Top - RV21, RV25
Shoes - RV21, C1
Pot - E95, E97
Plant - G21
I originally did not have the scalloped circle on the card, I had more of the heart stickers, so when I added it the bright white of the Cryogen looked bad against the off white of the sentiment DP.  So I took an E51 and colored around the image, ick, too yellow, so I took an E40 and colored over that, better.  It looks a little splotchy but I kind of like the look.  I used my Cheery Lynn Designs Scallop Coved Rectangle Stackers dies, my Scallop Heart Circle Stackers and Frills and Heart Border die for all the layers of the card.  Finished size is 5 x 7 inches.
