My sort of adopted mama has been in the hospital, and almost didn't make it.....but she's improving now, thank God!! I kept wanting to do pretty and mushy serious type of card but just couldn't come up with anything. When I finally hit on this, I knew it was right for her. Combined the dress from Haute couture with the woman from going out in style. Can't take credit for this idea, have seen it several times on here.
I used tons of stickles all over it. Painted the lady first with radiant pearls then stickles over it. The boa is a thick layer of stickes which really makes it puffed out. Wish they'd invent a scanner that could really capture sparkle and shimmer. The mushy stuff is inside. : ) Heat embossed the satin ribbon with detail gold EP.

What a fabulous get well card! I'm sure it will bring a big smile to her face! I love what you've done with it- combining stamps like that- pure genius! (even if it is CASEd!) That boa has more pop and sparkle than I can imagine, and it does show up on the scan. Bet it's even more sparkly IRL! Beautiful card, Deb! TFS!

Oh Deb,
I am so proud of you - this is a beautiful card! I know Mama will love it - I can just see her grinning (and getting in trouble as she shows it off) now!
Love ya, Joni
