THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #114, SHAPE IT UP OR EASEL CARD

Last week I was fortunate enough to win a challenge sponsored by The Paper Shelter, and the image on my easel card is one of the beautiful images that I chose from The Paper Shelter store, as part of my prize:


Isn't she just the cutest little sweetie pie?!  I coloured her with Copics and added a white gel pen for some highlights:


I sewed on some tiny flower sequins and beads over the flowers in her hair, matted with pink CS, and added a ribbon, bow and some more sequins.

The inside DP is part of the set that comes with the image, and onto that I also sewed on some sequins and beads:


I chose some other gorgeous images from The Paper Shelter too, and will be using those in the coming weeks - I can't wait to colour them up!

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge:

I would like to add this card to the follow9ing challenges:
