Magnolia Vs Stampavie Week 1

I thought this challenge required alot of thought as there seemed to be a lot going on with this sketch. However here we go...

I've used HOTP Friendship papers, I love these as they are all well co-ordinated. Accented some faux stitching with black pen, pale pink ribbon from stash box, paper flowers accented with some wonderful gems from Josy Rose Boutique, Tilda which was part of the candy from Jeanette, thank you Jeanette, has been gently watercoloured and lifted with foam pads, crystal dust added to the flowers and her plaits, such a cute image I love them all, and lastly the sentiment is a stamp from the See D's range. Thanks for taking the time to look.

Edited this post to add this scanned image as I realised the first picure is not enlarging. I don't like to scan gems and mirri card, they turn out black but I really like this creation and wanted to show as close to real life.
