One of my prizes for winning a challenge sponsored by The Paper Shelter was this gorgeous image called Arabian Spell.
I have had the image printed for a while now, and finally got to colour it and created this card:
The colouring is Copics, a white gel pen and Stickles:
To create my card I used the following from my stash:
white CS base card
black card mat
red gems
sewn on sequins and beads onto her costume
black trim onto which I sewed sequins and beads
The letters that form the word 'shimmy' have are a diecut that I decorated with a white gel pen.
I simply LOVE this image, and as I used to belly dance (and still create the costumes for clients), I have had such fun with it
.
