Life is Beautiful

I've made this small note card to send with a RAK gift to a friend who loves 'posh frocks and sparkle'.  I didn't think I had any dress stamps until I found this small stamp in a set that was a cover gift with a magazine a while ago.

To make this card I used:
     C7 white matt card blank
     Immediate Media 'Making Special Cards' stamp set
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Crimson Red ink
     Cosmic Shimmer clear detail embossing powder
     Pink Promarker
     Pentel Hybrid silver gel pen
     Wink of Stella
     Small pink flower confetti (from an old Papercraft Society box)
     Snippets of white matt card and dark red pearlescent card

I placed the white card into my MISTI and used dark red ink to stamp the dress and sentiment before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I cut the panel with a rectangle die before layering it onto dark red pearlescent card and attaching it to the card blank.  I coloured the dress with a pink Promarker, highlighted the bow with a silver gel pen and then added lots of clear Wink of Stella to the dress to make it sparkle (although it doesn't show too well in the photograph).  To finish I added three small pink flower confetti to the front of the card.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Birthstone Challenge - Garnet and/or Amethyst (I have used Garnet - the January birthstone colour)
     Daisy Chain Challenge - No Design Paper
     Pearly Sparkles Challenge - Clean and Simple
     Stamping Sensations - January Mood Board (I have used the dress and colours from the mood board)
