Country crafts

My friend Joan who owns "country crafts" and is the NEW sole distributor of Nellie Snellen, Joy crafts and Marianne designs in South Africa asked me to make her a card using a few of the newly delivered dies, she also kindly donated this beautiful stamp to my stash.  I wasnt gonna post it on my blog until i had given it to her, but after chatting with her on the phone today she decided that she couldnt possibly wait till next week when i will be seeing her again.

Ny image was colored with copics, i popped her wings and added lots of diamond dust stickles, matted her on a nestie and then used this Marianne desing die behind my matted image.  I had to use the flowers that are also a new die to the range of all the imports, so i layered them up after curling the edges and then added a pearlised flower to the centre and a little flat back pearl.  I also added the flourish made from flat backed pearls in a beautiful soft pink.  The whole design is another one of those round flip cards that slides to reveal the inside where one would normally write a sentiment.

I am not entering this into any challenge as i didnt find one that fits the bill, i am just sharing.
