Well, I dug into the "old" stamps and found this lovely from TAC's 2005 catty. Isn't she cool? I'm going to do one up all wedding style, too... because everyone deserves wedding couture :) I also stepped out of my comfort zone and used red!! Yes, Laurie W., I used red! Laurie rocks the red cardstock :) I have issues with red... I don't know why, but it is hard for me to work with.
I really lost myself in coloring this one and I really like how she came out. I used the Crimson Red Prismacolor pencil (mineral oil blending) and then went back over parts of it with black. I used Peach for her skin tone and a bit of brown on her back for a shadow. I did use a grey marker for the light shadow lines. 
Stamps: Haute Couture (retired), Linear Sentiments (stars), This Girl ('diva')Paper: Scarlet & Black basic cardstocks, Premium White CS
Ink: L'Amore Red & Noir Palettes, Moonlight White Brilliance, Frost Dazzle VersaMark
Other: Tombow gray marker, Prismacolors, Crystal Stickles, pop dots, Paper Studio big brad, misc. ribbon & jewel
There is a jumbo chrome brad under the red 'diva' star that is holding the bow together. Is that ribbon not totally whack? I've had it forever and hadn't yet used it. I have decided that I need to get some more ribbons that are wider... like 1" wide or so. I love the look of the fatty ribbon (like on the cuppie cake card from this weekend).What do you think?
