You might be thinking, "Wow, I don't see the resemblance at all!" But it started with the little blue flowers and went from there. I intended to use brown and pink as well, but the card had a mind of its own! The diamonds came from the diagonal line of ribbon on the bodice. And the top and bottom striped layers on the card from the flounces on the bottom of the dress. So I was inspired -- to make something you have to look hard at to find similarities!
The flowers were stamped and then color pulled from the ink with a watercolor brush.
My first VSN has me forgetting things -- I forgot to crop this one too, so come back later to see if the bigger photo is uploaded yet! Thanks for coming to look!
