But first here is the image I used ... yep another from my WOJ stamp kit, and isn't she just scrummy?!
Anyway on to the card ...
I have kept it quite embellishment free as the papers are quite patterned (and I am trying to make my embellie stash last as long as possible!). I watercoloured and distressed the image and matted her onto 2 plain papers. So the pink patterned paper stood out I also matted that onto black. Did a bit of faux stitching, added some ribbon, bow and charm and ... voila!
