This was largely inspired by the TLC show "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" episodes - the girls in these have these over-the-top extravagant gowns, not just for weddings but also for birthday parties and balls!!
This will be for one of my nieces.

Wonderful card, Sophie, with the "Belle of the Ball" image in her fabulous gown. Your coloring is always off the charts and I like how you created a ballroom for her with the bg DPs.

Love what you did with that image Sophie! Great coloring, sparkles, and design. The bg is super cool too. Love that show - it is amazing to see those girls but they are no different than girls back years and years ago who attended balls and parties with very elaborate dresses and hair - just like Marie here. Wonderful card! Hugz

Sophie, you have such an eye for choosing terrific images... I just love this little lady. Your ability to use copics is amazing. The way you colored her hair is gorgeous. That green eye shadow just makes me laugh.

Oh, this girl is at a ball, I'm just sure of it! She is sending a love note to her sweetheart because she hasn't seen him yet! She has a feeling that tonight he will pop the question especially since she looks so beautiful in her emerald and sapphire gown! I think it will go well, don't you! This is just darling Sophie! Love your cute as can be card! Thanks for playing!
