Three little girls playing dress up .........

Hi Everyone, Thanks for dropping in and having a look around.

My card is a Triple Aspect card with all sides decorated.
  
To start I stuck three rectangular cards together, these were made by scoring and folding three A5 sheets of Papermania Card Stock, I chose a different coloured card for each, as I wanted the colours of the background to blend with my chosen promarker colours. 

This is the front of the card

 This is the back of the card



Next I stamped any three little girls - my chosen theme being dressing up - and coloured them with promarkers using the same colours throughout, mounting each one in it's own frame (cut with the Cricut)  These are the close up pictures of the individual frames of the card



My papers are from the Flower Garden Magnolia collection.  I decorated all the separate panels of the card, front and back with these.  My girlies were then mounted and layered onto their respective backgrounds.  A papermania bow was added and three papermania buttons down each side panel. 


Swirls were added to each of the outside back panels (these were cut on the cricut) and three pearls added to each one.
A doily cut using the X-cut Lace die is the centre piece of the back of the card.  Again a pearl is added for dimension.  This was then mounted onto the centre back panel of the card.

Lastly two sentiments from LOTV were stamped and cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities.  These were mounted onto the front of the card using sticky pads.

There are several challenges I wish to enter this card into and also one DT call.

The DT call is Craftspot by Kimberley.  She has a fantastic range of victorian inspired crinkled ribbons and bakers twine in her shop, as well as a fantastic set of clear stamps and the creations on her blog are gorgeous.  
The challenges are:
