The image is a Lili of the Valley stamp, coloured, of course, with Promarkers. I bought her at the SECC last October but I forgot I had her, so this is her inaugural inking, it certainly won't be her last, she was a joy to colour.
The papers are Webster's Pages, they were a magazine freebie a few months back, the colour combo is really unusual, but it was the weeping willow that made me think "oriental". I added in some teal satin board for the mat for the image and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.
To embellish, I added a doily, very pale pink lace, ribbon, a large lace bow, and I used my Spellbinders Cherry Blossom dies to make the flower laden branches.
