Lady Jane USA Card

Created this USA Card using Stitchy Bear Lady Jane digi I had won. 

Used Kraft americana cardstock to complement the vintage nostalgia look of Lady Jane. Used Spellbinders die cuts for layers & tag. Used Crayola pencil colors for coloring digi. 

Used liquid Pearls for pearl necklace. I'm not the best liquid Pearls crafter; thus this gives me this entry into a challenge that theme is to do something on your card that you're afraid of.

Photographed the card with 2 of my favorite TY Bears. The one wearing the United Kingdom flag was given to me by an Internet friend that lives in the UK.



















gems: K&Company stars
ink: Memento Lady Bug
liquid Pearls: White Opal - pearl necklace on digi
paper:
5" x 6" Base Kraft americana red cardstock
Kraft americana cardstock: blue polka dotted, red striped
white cardstock
pencil colors: Crayola for coloring digi
Spellbinders:
Nestabilities Labels Eight
Shapeabilities Ribbon Tag Trio Two
