There are lots of layers , die duts and embossing on this card , i chose to use the purple and green combo , and i really like the colours together . The image is so sweet and a treat to colour , I made the flowers using papers from the matting and layering , and added faux pearls to finish it all off . For the sentiment i used an ambossing folder , then sanded the image back to reveal the white core of the card
