For this week our theme is all about

 

Embellishments

This image is yet another judo pose and this one is titled "Lotus Pose" and I think its probably the most well know position of them all, you will find it here. I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I cut her out with my circle die and mounted her onto a large one in pink card, then around the edge I have placed lace.

The sentiment is one from my stash and I stamped and mounted this also onto pink card. The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount the same pink card as I have used for my image, on top of this I have place the backing paper from the same design set as the image and you will find it here.

I then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment placed in the middle below it. I then used several metal embellishment around the mount in four corners and the butterfly and wing opposite at the top.
