Thankfully, a crafty buddy came to my rescue and stamped up quite a lot of the set for me some time ago - I have a couple of the others from the set left but this is the last one of this image.
When it comes to colouring it - I have made numerous cards and they've all been on a yellow theme - no idea why - it just seems to be made for yellow and sunshine!
Coloured with a mix of promarkers and watercolour pastels then mounted behind a die cut frame.
The patterned paper was a couple of pieces I had left from a pad ("still using up", she says smugly!) and once all the tatty edges were trimmed I stitched them onto another piece of background paper from the same pad.
The ribbon was from my stash and I stitched a lace flower into the centre of the bow then a ribbon and pearl embellie.
Used up the scraps on the inside!

Hi, Viv! Such an exquisite card! Warm, sunny colors and a beautifully wispy image. No wonder you wanted it so much! The stitching in your background panels looks so sweet, and adds the perfect texture. Love the sweetness of your ribbon, and the decor in the middle of your bow. Sigh. I am inspired, so you have been pinned so I can be inspired some more. Lovely card, Viv! hugs, de

Beautiful work.

Jo - if you happen to stop by again I am not ignoring you! I clicked on your name to reply and you have not shared your profile so I don't know how else to get in touch! The dies are called 'Curved Frame' and they're made by Lea'bilities. Hope this helps.
Hi Viv, thank you for the info.
I've set my profile to share now, I had put it that way a few years ago, and had forgotten it was still private.
Thanks so much for playing in the Crafting For All Seasons Spring Into Spring Challenge! Your card is just delightful!
Good Luck
