Bella Challenge - Bewitched, Bothered and Be Dazzled

I'm too late for the "official" challenge, but I finished my card anyway. Used gold pattern paper, used bling (spica pen) on her blouse and purse, and her boots, made her shopping bag gold and added bling dots on the card. The photo is taken at night and is a little dark, the colours are off - the ribbon is fushia like her blouse and the bling dots.
Edited: I retook the photo in daylight and the colours are much better.

The challenge is BRBG22.

Here is my version:





Recipe:

Stamps:EmmaBella; words: Hero Arts
Paper: Christmas card kit (unknown);K&Co. pink paper
CS: White Staples Cardstock; Prism Navy Shimmer
Ribbon: Offray Fushia pink satin; white ribbon May Arts
Accessories: Bling (sorry can't remember); Atayou Spica Pens Pink and gold; Gold Paint pen; Tria Alcohol Markers

Thanks for looking!!
