Simple but hopefully elegant?

I have had a day in my crafting area today and made lots of cards for DT work and several more just because I could for a change!!  I still have to colour most of them in yet, but here is one I actually finished and I hope you like it!!

NO DP'S just my new Marianne creatables die cuts for the square backing and xcut and spellbinders dies for the frame of the image

Post for Chalk N Stock

Here is my inspiration piece for Chalk N Stock I hope you like it :o)

I have used a Marianne creatables die. a Spellbinders die and an Xcut die to create the bases of this easel card, and a Do crafts measuring tape embossing folder for the Base. I have shaded the white bases in pink and black chalks, much easier to see in real life though!

Side view

This gorgeous image is by Scrapbook society, I have used Pastel pink chalk mist as a paint instead of a spray to paint the dress and a black chalk blender by artistic touches to create the shading,I have added some ribbons and buttons to decorate

The birthday sentiment is a stamp by LOTV that has been chalked around the edge and layered onto a spellbinders die cut and I have added ribbon underneath

I will be entering this card into the following challenges
