I so enjoyed making this card and it did take longer than I thought . I have had a pack of these gorgeous shaped cards laying around for a few weeks and decided it was time to use one. I used lovely 12 x 12 scrapbook paper to make the background and added more sparkle, lace, flowers, shiny flower centres, and pearls. I stamped and coloured this gorgeous Penny Black image. I cut it out and used some pads behind to give it a bit of depth. There is so much glitter and sparkle but difficult to see on here. I still have not found the perfect way to get sparkle to show on my cards. I have entered it into a few challenges which are listed below.
