Gothic Chic (or a goth chick!)

The girl who asked me to make a few birthday invites for her 18th birthday is a wannabe Goth. I call her bat. She only wears black and basically lives black. She hates to admit it but she loves pink too, hence the combo.

On to the card, this invitation is based on the sketch by Laura at 2S4Y. (again a cell phone picture)

The flower is handmade, the swirls are hand drawn, cut and then glittered. Added a bit of hand stitching just to frame the card.

The paisley stamp was sent to me by Stef (thanks a ton). Stef is my very own, personal Santa Clause! *hugs*

Tomorrow I will post my first easel card! Till then… hugs and kisses!

Challenges: 2S4Y (sketch), Inktegrity Design Team Challenges (flowers and ribbons), Delightful Challenges (glitter it up)
