Scrapdango's Crowned

I'm back again with some more fun things to share! Along with MSW's Sketch-A-Thon I've been participating in Scrapdango's "Crowned" contest. The challenge this week was "The evening gown competition always has beautiful women in elegant, long, sparkly gowns. Your challenge will incorporate all these elements. Create a layout using the following:
1. Women: At least one woman in at least one photo.
2. Elegant: I always think of black and white as formal, elegant colors. Your layout must be predominantly black and white (or cream). You may use a little of other colors, but make the black and white (or cream) the focus of your layout.
3. Long: At least one item on your layout must be across the entire length or width of your layout.
4. Sparkle: Bling it baby . . . let's see those layouts sparkle and shine."
We also could not use a sketch! EEK!!! I may have added too much blue to this one but I certainly covered the other requirements! There's LOTS of different techniques on this one - Cricut cut the title and swirls, two alcohol inks to color the swirls and lots of Stickles, Glimmer Mist and bling! The pics are of the MSW Houston Crop ladies last summer.

Here's a close up of the details -

There's still time to enter the Crowned contest! Deadline for Week 1's creation is Monday, February 7 at midnight EST. So come and join me in the fun! Here's the link - http://scrapdango.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=88
