Deco lady

This is for a friend's birthday next month. She loves the deco style so hopefully this will fit the bill.

I took two A4 cards, folded them in half then folded back one side. One is stuck inside the other to give the double fold-back style. The pinkish paper was overstamped using a 'Chatsworth' stamp then stuck on alternatively with the plain version of the same paper. Deco corners were stamped and embossed then 3D mounted on all the main corners, the little rose is part of the stamp set and finishes the corners perfectly. I stamped the ladies from sets from Creative Expressions and coloured in with promarkers. All the 'jewel' sections were glittered using a quickie glue pen and Art Institute crystal glitter. The ladies were mounted onto gold mirri card which had been embossed using a Creative Expressions 'clock' embossing folder, which in turn was mounted onto the original plain pinkish paper (cut using a grand nestie). The words were stamped and embossed then mounted onto embossed gold mirri card. I made the 'rose' inside the card  using some kids craft paper I have had for several years. Cutting the shapes from nesties, spraying with Cosmic Shimmer sprays. Once soaking they were attached together with a brad then scrunched tightly up. After this they need to be relaxed a little then left to dry. This was attached with gel glue. I had to make a box as the rose made it impossible to close the card fully. A plain base and pink top with the little roses in a cluster complete it.
