Felicity - Dies to Die for DT card

Hello my lovely crafty friends.

I hope you are well and having a good weekend. Sorry I am late today, silly me forgot to schedule my post!

Today's card is made with some gorgeous goodies from Dies to Die for.

I have used a pretty stamp called Felicity by Make it Crafty, she reminds me of my eldest daughter with her trendy outfit and beautiful hair. 

The wonderful papers are Teresa Collins Daily Stories with Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.

The stitched square is from Die-Namics Blueprints 14 and the tabs and circles from Blueprints 12. I have used a Die-Namics Musical Notes die which I cut from Kraft and black card to layer up in order to create a shadow effect.
