Patchwork Julie

This weeks challenge over at Willow Sketchie Challenge is a choice of a sketch to follow, sparkle and shine, or both.  I've gone with both and here is my card:

6 x 6 card blank.

Backing paper printed from SWALK cd-rom onto pearl paper and edged with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I stamped Julie with London Fog memento ink for a softer look, and coloured her with Coloursoft pencils, blended with baby oil.  Her wings have been glittered for extra sparkle.  She is sat on a mat cut with a Spellbinders die from lilac glitter card.

The little dog, patchwork squares, flowers and star and stamped and coloured with the same mediums.

The ribbons are from my stash, tied on the bowdabra, and then little silver charms are added using purple metallic cord.
