Finally, onto my card, I colored this sweetie in prismacolor pencils and copic markers. The outer edge of the little image is chalked to give a softened effect using Inkadinkadoo Bold Brights chalks. The scalloped edge of the white dp is done with a Martha Stewart edge punch. I punched holes for the ribbons on the sides then placed the flowers ontop of the holes so you don't see them! I scalloped stitched the outside of the card, I think it adds some softness to it, then placed some purple little gems to add some sparkle! Let me know what you think!
