White plus One

Hi everyone,

Apologies I am running a little late with my post for our new challenge at Crafty Creations.
 
 

Our theme is White plus One.

 
 
Do you know how hard to chose that plus One!  I finally decided on girly pink. 

Here is my card:


 
 
I have used Modern Mosaic on the embossed panel and the butterflies have been created using the Bitty Butterfly Punch and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits.
 
The sentiment is from the A Round Array stamp set and punched out with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch.  The ribbon is retired Pretty in Pink from my stash.
 
 
 
Here is a close up of the embossed panel

We have some fabulous sponsors for our challenge including
A Day for Daisies, QKR Stampede and Bugaboo.
 
 
I have used A Day for Daisies image called Joy Angel.
 
Thee layout of my card has been inspired by the current sketch challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge.
 
Their current challenge allows you to pick an old sketch and I decided on Sketch #27 from April 2014.  This sketch is fairly clean and simple but I think that this was perfect for this image.
 
Here is my card:
 
 
 
The cardstock used is retired Certainly Celery and I stamped some words and snowflakes from the Bright and Beautiful stamp set with Certainly Celery ink.
 
The sentiment was from a free stamp set called Heirloom Ornament by Spellbinders.
 
I added some sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds glitter on this very sweet angel's wings.
 
 
Here is a closer look at the image:
 
 
As you can see I decided to add some small pearls to the back of her hair.

Hair: E35, 37, 33, 50
