You Are So Polished

Here’s my card for this week’s My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge. I went super girlie for this one, using the a la modes Polished to Perfection set with a pastel color palette.

The girl is colored with Copic markers to coordinate with the pastel papers I used for the card. The set’s “you are perfectly polished” sentiment is stamped along the right edge of the image panel.

I flipped the sketch to accommodate the orientation of the image. The image is set at an angle over a piece of plaid patterned paper topped with a solid yellow strip. Each panel is matted with celery cardstock for a cohesive look, then set on the rose cardfront. I found the rose and yellow felt flowers in my “already die cut” collection and layered them to create the embellishment at the bottom of the image panel. I added the clear crystal to the center for a little sparkle, along with a trio of smaller ones at the right edge of the card.
