I sued it for the background ,the Beautiful is also from the dp, and I added some Silky Crush ribbon and lace to this. Next I glued everything on with my FAVORITE glue I call it "Heaven in a Bottel" its Helmars Premium Craft Glue,450 Quick Dry, and Liquid Scrap Dots! LOVE them all!

I used LOTS of CottageCutz dies on this, as I LOVE LOVE LOVE my CottageCutz dies, and you can never have too many of these BEAUTIFUL Dies!!
