Beauty Queen

I actually made *myself* a card! I can't remember the last time I did that! LOL!

But I adore this Krilla image from Scrapmagasinet and this beautiful designer paper from Paper Collage, so I decided this one was for me.

Krilla Winter is one of my favorite of Lisbet's collection, probably because of this fabulous coat she's wearing. She's stylin', right?!

I paper pieced the coat, and used the same paper for the background layer, in addition to Naturals White, Black and Baja Breeze card stock from Stampin' Up! I also used Brocade Blue, Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa markers to color in the smaller areas.
I finished the card with the "Beauty Queen" sentiment from My Favorite Things, some rhinestones from Amuse, and various SU! punches.

Enjoy the day!
