OCC - Let's Get Girly!

This is my second post of the day, please scroll down or click here to see my MFT teaser post!

Happy Saturday! it's time for another OCC challenge, and this week Sharon has asked us to make something girly and incorporate a handmade flower, some bling and ribbon.

I'm also playing along with the Verve Diva Dare - Color Me Spring! It's getting colder here as we head into Winter, so it's nice to pretend it's not so chilly and use some soft colours.

I had so much fun making my ATC last week, that I made a new one with some paper scraps sitting out on my desk. The papers are from the Madeline pack by Prima that I am head over heels in love with! You'll see lots from this collection over the next wee while.
I did cheat a little - I altered my flowers instead of creating them anew. The large flower was sprayed with some home made Caribbean glimmer mist and I added the ripped and sponged Verve sentiment over top. I curled the edges of the smaller flower and added a decorative brad.

Ric Rac and Lace scream girly to me - I added both as well as lots of pearls for my bling!
