The image is by OOh La La Creations from their Passion for Fashion CD. I love the sheer elegance of these ladies. The backing paper is also from the same CD.
Cutie Pie Challenge have a sketch this time which caught my eye. I normally shy away from these type of challenges but I have decided I must bite the bullet and get over my adversions. I think I have stayed true to the sketch. Cupcake Craft have a challenge this week asking for Monohromatic Blue creations. Again blue is not a fav colour with me but needs must so I bit another bullet!
The rhinestones, lace and ribbon are all from my stash. The flowers are cut from lace (if there are any gentlemen reading, please leave the page now ) on an old bra which was much too pretty to just throw away and was also in my stash. You can see a close up below.
Entering into the following:
Oh-La-La Creations: Happy Birthday.
Cutie Pie Challenge: Sketch time.
Cupcake Craft: January Blues.
Craft Your Passion: Vintage Shabby Chic.
Totally Gorjuss: Anything goes with ribbon.
Crazy 4 Challenges: Ribbons & Bows.

Pause Dream Enjoy: Use Ribbon.
