I wanted to make a special card for Brianna and searched around for the right design. Thanks to a friend of mine, I was able to get my hands on a stamped image of a girl in a formal gown. I believe this is from the Stampin Up Collection. I colored her in tangerine orange, since those are the colors of the attendant's dresses. I used my copic markers to color the face, dress and hair. The embellishments on the dress were done in yellow Stickles with small rhinestones. The bouquet, crown and shoes were also done in stickles. I wasn't happy with how the dress looked. I thought it needed some gussying up so I found some sample fabric at JoAnn Fabric of Tangerine organza with rhinestones. I cut the fabric the same size as the dress and attached it to the image.
I used brown cardstock as the base for the card and layered 6 different Recollections paper on top of the brown. I stared with the Orange Dots, Rust Shimmer, White Embossed paper, Ambrosia Mandarin, Gold Cardstock topped with a translucent felt type paper with a shimmer.
I cut the image out and attached her to the top layer. I cut a circle from the Rust Shimmer and attached the Quince 15 Años to that and layered that on the image corner. I used a copper ribbon I had lying around and tied a bow and attached it to the top of the card.
I also decorated the envelope to match using some of the leftover paper and adding adhesive rhinestones to a circle punch. I love how this turned out.
