Best Girl

It's my turn to host the challenge at Fussy & Fancy Friday this time :)

Seen as it's summer hols and you're all busy I've picked a really easy theme for you all to join in, plus we've not had one of these for a while - ANYTHING GOES!


This image was created especially for my neighbours daughter who loved playing the piano.  I've coloured her with Copics, distressed the edges with a Tonic solutions tool and Tim Holtz Vintage photo ink.  Around the edges I've scattered some embossing enamel.

Here's a photo of the layered up card before I started adding embellies.  The papers which have been distressed are from First Edition, I've also used some black card.  The lace behind the image is from The Ribbon Girl.

In this photo you can see some paper flowers which were from Wild Orchid Crafts and Crafteezee, the pin and organza rose trim were also from The Ribbon Girl.  Added to the flowers are some tiny silver dragonfly charms which I found on Amazon.

The Best Girl sentiment is a combination of wood chip elements from Scrapiniec and Make It Crafty.  The sentiment was for Beth who was being a best girl to her step dad rather then him having a best man (such a lovely idea).  I've coloured these with blue Copic.
Here's another close up, this one has a tiny resin frame which I've had in my stash for ages.

Finally, nearly forgot, there are a few pearl gems :)

Hope you like my inspiration for the challenge, thank for taking a look
