Just Being Yourself - A Little Shabby but Sweet

It is so long since I crafted, especially something without a deadline, that when I sat down to this my Mojo took a walk!
But after stepping away for a while, trying a few different things, not rushing myself, it did eventually come together.
This card was inspired by the challenge at The Shabby Tea Room and also I needed to get this little cutie inked up and the two just worked well together.
This gorgeous Prima Ballerina Tilda from The Little Moscow Collection has been sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks and so she is the "Something New" on this card and I'm so glad she has finally made her way onto a card.

Card Recipe:
Image - Prima Ballerina Tilda from The Little Moscow Collection
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - The Garden Tea Party by DCWV
Sentiment - K and Co
Oval Dies - Spellbinders
Spray Die - Memorybox
Heart Doily - Wilton
Roses - Various
Rose Trim - Hobby Lobby
Bow - Offray
Embossing Enamel - Frantage in Shabby Pink by Stampendous
Spritz (on flowers) - Homemade with Precious Metal Paint in Mother of Pearl
Liquid Pearls - Ranger





After finishing the card I decided it needed a little extra sparkle and so I added Liquid Pearls to the image and a little homemade spritz to the flowers.
I inked the edges a little to add to the Shabby Chic feel and now it was all done I feel pretty pleased with the results and I hope you do too :)
