Sitting Pretty!

Good Saturday morning everyone, i hope the sun is shining where you live, it's beautiful here in the NE of England, mind we still have a cool breeze!!

For my card today i have used my Grand Calibur and Grand Nesties Labels 1 for the card shape and matting and layering. I stamped my Magnolia Princess Pea Tilda and coloured with DMs, then i mat and layered her onto my Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily die cut from printed vellum. The white medallion die cut is a Spellbinder's Iron Works die as are the white corner die cuts.

Papers are First Edition and the Vellum matches the background paper which i've had in my stash for a very long time!! I finished it all off with lace, ricrac ribbon, organza double bow, flowers, pearls and a crown pin.
