I used this amazing digi called Poppy but I only used the head part and enlarged it, I coloured with distress inks and glittered the rest of her, the amazing paper is from Echo Park and is called Black Damask, this is the reverse of the black...I added some ruffled lace and grey satin ribbon which I ruched...I finished with a Happy Birthday stamp...the stunning sketch is from Mojo Monday Thanks for coming to visit, don't forget to leave me and all the other DT members a comment, hop on over to the super talented VICKY next who is bound to have something incredible to show you enjoy the rest of the hop everyone

    gorgeous image Mina :)

    I love how you have die-cut her and her hair is trailing over.

    Beautiful ribbons and I love how the white is gathered behind the black. The mink colour is so unusual but very elegant too.
