…a very bright, very special woman

I have a shabbylicious card to share today featuring the simply gorgeous Perfect Curls Betty from the new Betty’s Boudoir collection at Simply B Stamps.

This beautiful image started out as a freebie on the Simply B Stamps’ Fan Page but was so popular and so fabulous that she had to have some friends and her own line and I couldn’t resist colouring her up.  Those lush curls and sexy dress brought to mind Julia Roberts in that red dress in Pretty Woman so that’s how I’ve coloured Betty up.

I’ve placed her on a decadently layered card following the latest sketch at Sketch N’ Dies.  The papers are from Authentique’s Audrey inspired Classique Elegant collection, the perfect match for Betty.  The original sketch only had the flower element but I just had to use my Marianne Designs’ Vintage Parasol die and I just had to shabby chic that up a bit with some Fran-tage.  And of course I had to have some lace.

I’ve followed the recipe over at Desert Island Crafters to do up my card, I’ve got a die cut, two actually, there’s also an oval Nestie hiding in the background, heat embossing with my Fran-tage and lots of lovely distressing.  I've got my digi and my flowers so I am also entering this card in the current challenge at Digi Galore.
