I used the Botanicals paper for this card, it has some subtle sheets in the pack, as well as heavy designs, I used one of the subtle ones, along with an new Xcut embossing folder, which I picked up cheap in Hobby Craft, to make the base layer, I inked it with Fired Brick Distress Ink to emphasise the pattern.
The image is a digi from A Day For Daisies, I coloured her with Promarkers, she was such a pleasure to colour, especial the contours of her face. I added some Old Paper Distress Ink round the edge o the topper to take away the harshness of the bright white cardstock. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.
I used Marianne dies to make the corner elements, a Nellie Snellen punch for the flowers, and added cream organza ribbon, layered with green adhesive lace from the goody bag, finishing with an organza bow.
