 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today, at Dragonfly Dreams,  we begin our new monthly challenge for November. Carol has chosen  A Feminie Card To see the remainder of the design team's and our guest's inspiration please visit the blog.

The greeting was created using a Hunkydory Moonstone die. Finally I added randomly a number of pink gems. Lovely in pink with sparkly bright Mirri card, suitable for any young lady.
