But I really liked it so as ever it was a 'have to have it' moment.
I opted for a simple layout using only one DP and just distressed the edges a wee bit.
The image was coloured with watercolour pastels, cut out with a nestie and lightly distressed.
Putting it straight onto a large lacy doily I think kept the 'soft' overall feel.
I finally got round to using one of my new dies - called honeyblossom sprig and although I used some pale green card hope you can see enough of it - isn't it pretty?
Secured a rather large organza bow with a pearl buckle and the two pins were a pressie from Sassy - clever girl she is! They're lemon pearly tips with silver bits, creamy pearls and lovely shimmery glass beads.
Flowers and pearls all from my stash and the inside decorated to match.

This is a gorgeous card - if someone cared enough for me to make and send such a lovely, it would have a place of honor with me! I love the soft colors, the way you've colored the central image and the beautiful, feminine embellishments you have added here. The bow is perfection, the lace, gentle patterned paper, it really is delightful!
