This is my second entry for the Tickled Pinks Stamps Challenge #3 using the sketch provided, this time with the Christmas theme of the Lil Lilita Boutique Challenge #8. The image reminds me of Audrey Hepburn or Barbra Streisand, & they in turn the movies "Breakfast at Tiffany's" or "Funny Girl".

ETA - Now how did I manage to get the inside of my card looking as if the paper is about to detach itself from the cardstock & the right hand side is longer than the left? I used a tripod.......oh dear!

Hi Paula, fabulous card, love the gorgeous image, fabulous colours and papers and your details are fab, especially the swirls and bling.
Sorry if I confused you, I use both distress inks and Copics, love them both, I just feel some images call of one some the other.
hugs Heather xx
