Glamour and Glitz

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  How has your week been so far?  Good, I hope.  It's been raining cats and dogs here all week!  Between that and the thunderstorms, it was so dark yesterday that the streetlights came on in the daytime!  It's rumbling again out there, so I am going to try to get this posted before the storm gets too close.  I have a card to share with you that I made for a few challenges I like doing when I can.

Here it is:


My card base is GKD Heavy Base Weight White and the mats are SU Lavender Lace.  I created the embossed layer with a Cuttlebug Window Panes embossing folder to which I added some Basic Grey Bling It diamond gems. The patterned paper is from the Prima Meadow Lark 6x6 pad.  My glamourous image is Fancy from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added lots of sparkle to her bodice and the flowers in her hair with Stickles.  I added pearls to her hair with my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A satin bow and a few more diamond gems finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Copic Colors:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20, R11
Hair: E21, E25, E29
Dress, gloves and hair ribbon: V20, V22, V25, V28
Flowers in hair: V01, V04, V06

Thanks for stopping by!  I am making good progress on visiting, so if I haven't been by yet, I will be shortly.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
