The final touch was to glue on some crystal stars for a bit of extra sparkle.

I stamped and coloured my image using copics. I then used my misty to position the sentiment stamp beneath, to fit within the circle die. Once stamped, I die cut the image into a circle, and matted onto a larger die cut circle of pink paper. I cut a band of a coordinating paper to cover the lower half of my card blank. I then added a trim of sequins across the join. I layered the image on top using foam for dimension and to help it sit smoothly across the sequins, by not adding foam along this line. Finally, I added glitter the her wings for that added touch of detail.
