Visible Image DT post - Shabby Chic Katie

Today I am showing you Katie from Visible Image Stamps.


Visible Image Blog Badge, Blinkie

I coloured Katie in using my pens and added stickles to her feet and the butterflies.  The dp are all from First Edition and I distressed the edges for that shabby look.  I layered up lace and organza ribbon and added a bow.  I frantaged the Hobbycutz lasercut leaf using aged ivory frantage, and the butterflies using aged aqua frantage, and finally added some muslin and flowers.  The sentiment is from the More than words set 7.
