I chose to work with Pretty Girl #4
This is one of those 'looks better in real life' cards. The background is made with Glimmer Mist and is called Glimmer Mist Watercolors. I used this Technique Junkies technique using Graphite and Kiwi Green Glimmer Mist. The card is really shimmery IRL. I colored the image with Copic Markers and highlighted it with the Wisped Frames TJ technique. I embossed the shimmery background with the Cuttlebug Scrollwork embossing folder. I used an older Confetti cardstock and a Prima Madeline patterned paper to accent the colors I chose to use. The Antique White seam binding was the finishing touch.
I found a tutorial for tying a bow on a fork....really.....HERE is the link- I am loving this for small bows! Thanks Di!
