Lady in Blue

I recently won some digis from A Day for Daisies when I discovered these super lovely images (and btw, there are som fab freebies available, too!) and challenge (pearls/beads) that I'm now entering my card into. I'm thinking my mom especially will love these images, many are feminine and vintage-y, and so many of them remind me of the illustrations from old Elsa Bescow books that I remember being read. At first I tried making a bow from ribbon, but that just didn't sit well here, so I ended up making a paper bow that I think sits well with the striped ribbon. The bling in the bakground paper didn't photograph very well, but it's there :)

I'm also entering these challenges: Crafty Ribbon (Monochrome w/ Ribbon), Cute Card Thursday (Lace or Ribbon), Crafty Catz (Ribbon and bling), Glittern'n'Sparkle (Mother's Day) and Clear it Out (Paper over a year old, and that goes for both blue papers from the same stack I bought over two years ago).
