I added a strip of diagonal striped paper to ground her, stamped the
matching sentiment that comes with the set, and added a few clear sequins.
Speaking of window shopping, here's another card using Mon Cheri, paired with
the new Die-namics Boutique Window that was so much fun to put together.

Here's a closer look.
