Oh I know a little over the top, but wow did I enjoy creating this :)
Where to start.  Base layer is a lovely cerise pink, I have used this to contrast too.  The card is a centre step card and the image is a combination of the fabulous Emerald Faerie Garden image "Isabella" and Make it Crafty "Hidden Forest Seat" the sentiment is from My Sentiments Exactly.  The doily I have airbrushed and then embossed with holographic powders.  The ribbon is also airbrushed V15. I have used papers from Wild Rose available at Grimsby Crafts and an MS edge punch and Marianne dies. Flowers from stash along with ribbon of flowers and pearls from the Hobby House
The image has been coloured with copics and a white highlighter gel pen with diamond stickles.
