... I love this challenge, the sketches always have something that takes you 'outside the square' and I love that!
I enjoyed it even more as I used these gorgeous stamps from Layers of Color. It was 'love at first sight' for me when I came across their site and I have used this set called Flower Child. The image has been coloured with chalks and sponged around the edges, than layered onto a Scalloped Rectangle Nestie (thanks to Melinda80), which I lightly sponged. This was attached to the DP with dimensionals to give depth. I added some shading to the wings , which are from the Layers of Color set, 'Regal Wings'- with chalks and then lightly added Kindy Glitz to give them a bit of shimmer, these too are attached with dimensionals! The lower panel is embossed the with Textured Textiles Embossing Folder, torn and slightly sponged. I used chiffon ribbon and thread it through those lovely little pearl buckles...I really like the effect this has. The pearls added above the Nesties is the finishing touch! I have just loved making this card...I love the vintage feel it has, touching on nostalgic!

Well, I was trying to form words, and avoid, jaw-dropping and gorgeous and lovely. I think I will need a thesaurus for this one sis! Yikes- wonderfully sweet. These images are adorable and the way you have put this together is ai yi yi! (Yeah, that's the word!) Ok, I am going to learn some new words now, so I can keep up with your work. Wow- there's a job! LYMI XXXOOO
