Beautiful Self

 


It didn't start out this way but it got sidetracked and ended up being a softly feminine card, not my usual style at all.  It started with the image and meandered away into lacy pinkness.  I think she looks like she is dancing in a world of flowers.

The EF (a magazine freebee) was embossed on previously smooshed paper, then direct-to-paper Distress inked on the high spots.  The stamped image is coloured with Copics and gold pen.the border is defined with a band of double stacked paper lace (years old from stash), a band of pink linen card and a diecut stacked bow (Three Button Studio) with a gold dot.  I gathered real lace and glued it to the image like a skirt, popped up on foam tape.  Gems added.  Stamped sentiment (TimHoltz) chopped up and put on wonky.  DI's, a snippet of lace and linen card, gold pen, Stickles and gems.
