To begin with I coloured the image with Promarkes, Faber Castell Polychromos and then used chalks for the background.
I then created my card blank and stamped a cherry blossom rubber stamp onto mauve paper using a embossing stamp pad. Chalks were used again in a mixture of colours to tone in with the image.
Next I took the contrasting colour - burgandy, and created the frame by using the border die from the Sizzix - love, birds and hearts set. The butterflies and rose were made using vellum and Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and Cherry Lyn Designs mimi butterflies. To finish off I added a blue bow and several gold metal stars. The inside of the card was created with more of the design paper I made, the border die and some more gold stars. To make the cut out design I used the Crafts Too floral flourish die and the section that was cut out was added to the front of the card with a spray of pearls.
