StampInsanity's "Mystic Beauties" and Challenge!!!

Hi again :)

*2nd post for today!!!
Please be sure to scroll down and see this week's
Pixie Dust Challenge :)
Thank you!!!

It's time for a... 

This week's challenge #8 is to create an...
Easel Card

I fell in love with "Pearl Princess" from today's new release called...
Mystic Beauties

I really wanted to try to create a mostly white card, but it turned out to be more of a monochromatic card (?)
Either way, I love how it turned out!
But, it turned out to be so hard for me to take a pic of a mostly white and light colored card...
any suggestions out there? I would be sooo ever grateful for any tips!
Thank you :)

Here's my card!!!


I really enjoyed coloring this image in! I wanted to keep the colors as light and bright as possible!
And look! No DP again! yea me ;)
 I thought that the embossing would help create that underwater look I was trying to capture for Pearl Princess :)


Princess Pearl Card Details:
Paper(s):
Papertrey Ink White CS; Martha Stewart CS
Ink(s): Copic Markers:  
Accessories: Prima Flowers and Pearls; Cuttlebug Swiss Dots
and Vines Embossing Folders; Making Memories Trim 


Here's a look at the entire "Mystic Beauties" release!
Aren't they all so whimsy and beautiful?!?!

So, so pretty! Your coloring is fab! I love that you used the pearls to hold the card up! It's really beautiful. Maybe if you tried to photograph it with a darker background? Great job!
