Woman of Spirit, believe...

This card was based on Kazan's beautiful sketch #3 on the 2sketches4you challenge blog. I really enjoyed making this one! It's soooo flamboyant and girlie, but also has in mind the number of women I have come across lately with tragic stories to tell, but stories usually of great courage, and it is my message to all of them.. that my thoughts are with you, Woman of Spirit.. Believe.

Papers: Laura Ashley from the Traditional 6" x 6" Designer paper Pack, and another beautiful rose print paper that I've had for a while and is unlabelled
Stamps: Stampabailities 'Thoughts Are With You' CR1072; Hero Arts 'Spirit Heart' E3391; 'Elegant Flourishes' by Rhonna Farrer
Metal embellishments: Making Memories 'Believe' charm; Corner scroll from stash
Glossy Accents used on Heart stamp, which is layered up
Flowers, pearl spray, brad and ric-rac from stash
