My Cutie teamies have created the most amazing projects to inspire you so hop over and check them out here.

So what MilkCoffee image did I choose?  Well I opted to use 'Glamorous Tiffany in her Night Dress' (which does rather suggest that she is ready for bed but no, she is red carpet bound!) Isn't she fab!

I coloured Tiffany with my Pro/Flexmarkers and I thought she might appreciate some ‘diamonds’ in her ears (well they are a girl’s best friend and her name is Tiffany).  I also added a touch of Stickles to her dress for added pizazz and then cut her out as I wanted a more 3D effect.

I have seen so many stunning cards using the larger of the Spellbinder dies to make the card  base and thought, “That looks good, I’ll give that a go!”.  So I did.

I began with Centura Pearl card (I love this stuff; such good quality and a gorgeous finish) and cut 2 of the Spellbinders Elegant Labels 4.  I scored about an inch from the top of one of them to create a hinge then stuck the two together.

I used Labels 4 to create my mats and sprinkled on some purple Fran-táge for a bit of sparkle.  Not too sure if I overdid it a bit though.  I was apparently wearing it on my nose, cheek and chin for most of the day!

I then cut several bits of matching card using the Sizzix Bigz 3D Flower die to make my roses and added an Anja Vintage Swirls die from Marianne Creatables behind them.

I do have quite a thing for Silky Crush ribbon which has very quickly become a bit of an obsession.  I have to stop myself using it on everything.  Even men’s cards!  It ties the most wonderful big bows and I have it in several colours (not enough though, I need more) so I had to add one to the corner for Tiffany with a rose to mark the centre.  Well, it would be rude not to!

And there you are; gems and a sentiment later and Tiffany shall go to the ball! (Bet she’s rather relieved about that!)

See ya!

Smiling always (now with a Fran-táge free face!)
