Nice helping out with the CC, Tobi! Great color combination with your choices!
I love this dressing table stamp from B Line Designs. I inked it with VersaColor black and embossed in clear onto soft sky. I used mirror paper for the actual mirror . The lovely lady is colored with Copic markers as are the flowers. I used a spica clear glitter pen on her silk stockings. The image is set upon paper from K&co classic K Margo Mat Pad. It worked perfectly to convey a rug and rich textured wallpaper. I matted it with basic black that has been 'cuttled' with the textile folder. My card base is purely pomegranate which I stamped the side with B Line's lace and trim quartet inked in Adirondack cranberry. I resisted adding anything else to the front!
Inside is Emerson's quote, Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. I like that, we are a reflection of what is on the inside...and as a side note, I notice that part of my hair and camera and pink shirt is reflected in her mirror!
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments, I so appreciate reading them!

And I see Billy, and Susie, and, oh, there's Joy----I better ask if you remember Romper Room. hee!) I also love the little touches with her stockings and the awesome philosophical quote. A card of beauty and elegance!
