The Little Diva


She walks around in plastic high heals with feathers glued on top, tons of pink hair bows holding the fine blond hair out of her big blue eyes and five necklaces that hang past her little belly button. She's the little diva on my husband's side of the family and everyone is tickled pink with her. She'll be turning three in a couple of months and this card is for her.

Welcome to the another sneak peak from Practicing Creativity Designs! I wanted to showcase a card using the set I designed this month, Retro Christmas, in a non-holiday manner. All of the designers are also focusing on techniques using Tattered Angel Glimmer Mists available at the store. I started with a full sheet of cardstock and sprayed Dragonfly on one side and Vintage Pink on the other. I cut out of portion where the two met and stamped the deer (sans the antlers) right on top of the misting.

The other design team and guest designer gals have some great samples/sneaks to show you as well!
