Haute Coutoure

Something a lot out of my comfort zone for today's post. A card needed to be made for a work colleague's birthday. The image was one of those I had coloured previously and seemed to be the most apt for the birthday girl. All it needed was a home.
The image is called Haute Coutoure by Rick St Dennis. Coloured with Graph-It pens. I really am falling in love with these!

 I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches as my inspiration. Turned slightly to fit in with my image.
Unfortunately that challenge has closed so they won't get to see me using this.

Even the twist of lace and pearls - these fitted with the image so well.
The pics were taken in a hurry before going to work today - my apologies. I left it in the box I'd made I was in such a rush.

 The feathers in pale pink, mint green and cream to match the outfit stuck into a metal bead that was coloured with pale gold pan pastel and sewn onto the card for security.

The cream lace was threaded through with pale pink and mint green satin ribbon with some pearl sprays to decorate. You can just about see the text that was added to the main BP - a background stamp by Paper Artsy - stamped with versamark and brushed over with pale gold Pan Pastel.
The two panels are core-dinations - both dry embossed and matted onto the same dark pink that was used to mat the BP and image.
The sentiment is on the card insert - oops no pic ..... I was in a rush as I said
