Cupcake Crafts #149 ~ A single layer

This weeks challenge over at Cupcake Crafts is a Single Layer card, now I'm never really sure about these type of cards and dont do them too often, not that I always have lots of layers but I usually have some!  Anyway I sat here racking my brains and then decided as my starting point I would use a Nellies multi frame and emboss it in the centre of my card and that done I needed to find an image.  Well just the other day I received my prize after winning the challenge over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp which was an adorable set from Paper Pretties so that is the image I went with, coloured with copics some stardust pens and some glitter, the corners are stamped and glittered too with stamps from the set and the sentiment is a papermania stamp.  I like the way it turned out and Ria is trying to claim it to put on her cool wall so it cant be too bad (she is dragon mad and has 2 bearded dragons living in her bedroom!).


This one is taken with out the flash (the cs is actually cream and not white)


Just added this one taken with the flash to show how much it actually sparkles in the light

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenge:
