...with some soft cooling colours. I do love my brights but once in a while a girl has got to take the sunglasses off while crafting, lol
Anyways, isn't that a CUTE image!! She is called Blowing Kisses and she's from Elisabeth Bell line of SCACD stamps.
Those papers are a new find - well, for me anyway! It's my first time trying out Memory Box papers and they work so well together. Beautiful, balanced pad. Oh, it's called Minuet, almost forgot to tell you that, lol. I am now VERY tempted to get some of the other pads of theirs as well!
Since the card had quite sharp defined layers I wanted to soften it a bit and that glorious Prima lace was just perfect for it. I went a bit wrong with pearls - in theory I was trying to make swirls but I placed the pearls too far apart and it now looks like a random scattering, lol

Ah! The fine shading on the skin is lovely to behold, Annika, could look at anything you've coloured for hours! I love the pearls, you can tell they are in swirls, but they do look random at first, but that is perfect because they look like an extension of the kisses she's blowing, one of the things that caught my eye first actually. Fab work. CoB
Your card here is sheer delight, Annika! Glad to see so many beautiful yet different cards coming from one person!
Hugs, Iulia

Thank you for the inspiration

Random scattering can be a good thing :-) Especially where it looks like she's blowing kisses, the pearls naturally scatter like dandelion fuzzies. :-) Beautiful!
I really love that paper you used too. I need to go check your link out cos Ive never even heard of them over here.
Really lovely card, Annika~
