Feathery & fluffy

It was my daughter's birthday last month and when I asked her what kind of card she wanted she told me something feathery and fluffy with glitter on it - something different.
Luckily I had some feathers and remembered a card i'd done some time ago using skeleton leaves and a peel-off bodice to make a ball gown type thing.
This is what I came up with and she loved it even if it was a little worse for wear after the postman tried to bend it to force it through her letterbox while she sat in full view of the window, he had a hard job what with 2 layers of card stuck onto the main cardstock ;-)
It's a large card - 8 inches square -  with 2 layers of pink pearlescent textured card punched at the edge with a Martha Stewart punch and held together with glittery brads. 

The bodice shape is cut from a piece of pale lilac glitter card and has cream feathers attached to the underside and a strip of white lace with silver thread attached to the lower edge. The top edge is decorated with liquid pearls in a pale pink shade. The words are peel-offs.
