Sparkly dressed Girl (Sami Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, have you ever tried to photograph a glitter card? All the papers for this card were glitter paper and I glittered her dress also and this was incredibly difficult to make look good in a photo even though in real life it's a very elegant and sassy card. 

I love this gorgeous image from Sami Stamps, she's so fine!! My daughter gave me the little black flowers, they were for her nails but she didn't want them anymore, perfect to add the finishing touch to my card I think.
