This has certainly been one challenge of a card. I sometimes struggle with colours I don't use very often and did with this colour combination - orange and brown. I have used various pearlescent papers from Graphicus and also one of their design sheets with a frame and a sentiment, some of which have been cut and some have been torn. I made my flower using my Cricut and then sprayed this with Dawn Bibby's Golden Glitz Shimmer Spritz along with the doily. I wasn't sure the doily would cope with the spritz but it did OK and now has a lovely sparkle to it. The image is from Lili of the Valley (LOTV) and is of a gorgeous little girl trying out clothes, shoes and jewellery - isn't she sweet. I have distressed the edges of the image with Tim Holtz's distressing tool and inked with a brown chalk ink pad. The card is finished off with a decorative pin, sparkly ribbon slider, gems, buttons, lace, ribbon and a dangling embellishment.
I've used a number of new items on this card: buttons, design sheet, backing papers, ribbon slider and also some lace I got for Christmas.
