DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY :: NEW RELEASES :: MISTERI - BRIDE


There are two new Misteri images in the Digistamps 4 Joy store today - I am growing quite attached to this character I draw.

This image is called Misteri Bride, and my card features my handcoloured version which is now also available as a pre-coloured version in the store:



Here is a better look at the image :



and to prove that there IS glitter on my card :


To create my card I used the following from my stash :

white CS base card
black and silver DP
white CS die cut
gems
sequins and beads

Here is a better look at the rings embellishment :


I used a scrap of silver trim left over from when I made a bellydancers's veil, and embellished that with flower gems sequins and beads.  
A fancy satin ribbon bow to match the bow on her headdress was added too.


The only glue that was used on my card was to attach the DP to the base card  and on the back of the stick on gems... 
ALL beads, sequins, ribbons, braid, etc etc had been hand-stitched onto the cardstock.

Click here to check out the rest of  today's new releases.

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

CRAFTS FOR ETERNITY, #123, TIC TAC TOE (RIBBON, USE SOME SCRAPS, BLING)
ABC CHALLENGES, TIC TAC TOE, (DP, FLOWERS, GLITTER)
