It's a fantastic collection FULL of goodness!

I mimicked the frame shape on the striped paper,
and again on the white card base.
The flowers were leftovers from my flower box project.
Finally, I added some pearls and some glitter glue.

I tried to get a better picture of the glitter here but it didn't want to show.

Materials Used:

Papers: Recollections - Cardstock;

Spectrum Noir Markers;

Glitter Glue: Unknown;

Pearls: Unknown.

From the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles - Fruit Punch Collection I used:

The framed digi image from the Characters file.

Pink striped paper from the Paper file.
