Elegant Katherine

 I would love to say she is my namesake - but I am not quite THAT elegant!!!  Or that slim!!  She is coloured in using my pens, and then I used a corner punch to curve diagonally opposite corners. I repeated the corners on the dp, and stitched the papers.  I added layered organza ribbon, some layered mulberry flowers with cute metal flowers for their centres and a bow.  I punched some butterflies out and added gems and a gem swirl for that elegant feel!! I am going to enter this into the Kraftin' Kimmie GDT call, cos as my dad says - "you've got to be in it to win it"!!
