Once again, I worked hard to combine two challenges, so I can feel a little more accomplished. CPS 64 is to use their sketch and AFSS17 is to not color your image.
I had an image of Lola stamped in sepia and it looked perfect for the occasion. I paper pierced Lola's dress and added jewels to the bigger flowers and brads (part of PIF from Wendy) to the smaller flowers. Other than that, I let her be.
The card front is an inch and a half smaller than the back, which you probably can't tell from the picture. I used MS punch to punch the flowery border. Colored a pale pink blossom with some red (turns out I used purple, which matched the pink), then a prima and then a colored M's wedding flower to match the blue flowers. Image and flower are attached using dimensionals. It needs something, but can't quite put my finger on what.
Tip of the day: When punching a border, start punching in the center and move to one side after the other, so your punched border looks uniform.
Feel free to drop any creative criticism. Thanks for stopping by. TTFN.

Love this Anna...it is so cool you stamped her in red. I think with the piecing, you are safe (and it is not so stark like with black ink!). Love your border too...great job!
