Cottonberry Creations: Girly card

Girly card

I used the above picture for inspiration when making my card.

I really enjoyed stamping and colouring my image for this card. One of my new year resolutions was to do more stamping and water colouring but I have failed so far this year to do much.
For this card I stamped and water coloured my image and backed it with Purple card. I picked a nice Green designer paper, some flowers, heart brads, and Green round brads, some schrolls that I cut using my Wizard machine, Butterflies I punched, A perfect day sentiment and some Faux stitching I did with a white gel pen. All this turned into a pretty card to enter for some challenges this week. As usual I have listed all the challenges below.
