Here are some close ups

Then l began to added layers under my photo using paper, felt flowers, ribbon and lace

For the large chipboard embellishment and my title, l covered these with distress stain from Ranger and clear embossing powder, then added perfect pearls over the top.
The pink chipboard has two layers  - one of distress paint in Spun Sugar then perfect pearls in Blush.
