Sunday Postcard Art "White"

Here is my contribution for the SPA challenge where the theme is white this week.
The background was created with one of Websters Pages downloadable papers, which like usual I altered a bit. The main image was a freebee that the wonderful Terri had on her blog a while back. Thank you Terri, I love this image. White signifies purity and innocence to me, and I think this sweet girl portrays that perfectly.
I added some lace and pearls to her dress and did the same behind the slits to add some extra texture and dimension

    E-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-x-TRAORDINARY!! (I am trying not to say exquisite which is always the first word that comes to mind when I open your blog.)
    Your postcard is so beautiful, Astrid. Elegant, wonderful embellishments, gorgeous image. What more could we ask for?
