The Ribbon Girl DT - April Colour Challenge - Ivory/Cream

Hello again! I am back with my DT card for this month's Ribbon Girl Colour Challenge. Our colour theme this month is 'Ivory/Cream' and I was initially going to make a Wedding card but couldn't find the stamp I had planned to use so chose this lovely new stamp by Diane Duda instead which is called 'I carry your Heart with me'. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and paper pieced the dress using some of the My Mind's Eye papers I had used on my card. These papers are left overs from a very old pad.

After I had stamped my papers with the sentiment and layered them up, I wrapped them with some Silk ribbon and Mermaid sparkle ribbon and added a bow topped with a cream button. I also added some stickles to the heart the girl is carrying.

I went a bit crazy with the flowers and created a little arrangement using Kordt and Godt rolled flowers, tiny blossoms, cherry blossom, berries, roses and a resin flower. I added a wooden heart button to a ripped ticket which I stuck into the arrangement with a memo pin. All the buttons are tied with button twine. I tucked some jute mesh behind some of the flowers and finished with some tiny little pearls.
