You Simply Sparkle

Here's my card for this month's Market Street Stamps Block Party.  I combined some newer and some older Market Street images for this pattern-filled card based on the current I Spy Sketches challenge.

The focal image is the fabulous dress form from the Hippie Chic set.  I did a combination of coloring and paper piecing on the dress.  To fancy it up, I added some delicate ruffled trim along the bottom of the dress and a pink Liquid Pearl "necklace," too.

The dress is set on a cardfront covered with a trio of patterned paper panels from Authentique's Delightful 6x6 paper pad.  The pattern from the dress is from that paper pad, too.  Each panel is layered on a green mat, then set on the gold card base.  I punched a strip of green cardstock with a grass border punch and attached it at the bottom of the panel with the dress along with a piece of knotted ribbon.  For some sparkle, I cut apart pieces of a clear crystal flourish and arranged them around the dress.  The "you simply sparkle" sentiment from the Simple Salutations set, stamped on a girly pink strip and set on the top patterned paper panel, ties it all together.
