I have the pleasure of showing off the super sweet and oh so beautiful The Babe Set. I keep the focus of my card to the sweet image and simply just stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black. The DP on the side is from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas Collection and I also added a Scalloped Border along the DP. I tied it off with some Ribbon, a Button, some Silver String, Silver Pearls and not to forget the Doily behind the main image.

This is lovely! I like the stamp so much, but have felt intimidated by all the artistic Copic work that has been shown. I am so glad to see a sample that is not colored and is every bit as lovely because of all the attention you have given to the gorgeous embellishments. Thank you so much for sharing your work!
Very elegant & stunning! I love the contrast between the cranberry and white. Great card!
