Basic Grey Challenge

Its time for another Basic Grey challenge and the theme this time is Inspired by a Song.

I used the stunning Clara from Visible image stamps and coloured her in using my pens, before creating the border grunge detail using the grunge flourish from Visible Image.  The dp is Basic Grey Infuse 12x12 papers and I distressed and stitched them.  I added lace, seam binding, pearls, flowers and the gorgeous lasercut film frame from Hobbycutz.  Finally I stamped the Live your Dreams sentiment from Visible Image and cut it out before adding it.

As always, our wonderful sponsor, Simon Says Stamp is offering one lucky winner a fab $25 shopping spree in the Simon Says Superstore.
