Cottonberry Creations: Penny Black Best Wishes card

Penny Black Best Wishes card

For the month of May the challenge at Penny Black and More is Favourite stamp or craft item. We all have favourites so you can easily join in with the challenge this month. There is plenty of inspiration from the design team too. Pop over to the blog for the rules and info on the prizes.
I really struggled to choose an outright favourite so I used all my favourites on this card. I love ribbons and turquoise and lilac shades are my most favourite colours because they seem to coordinate with many other colours. The image I used if one of my top favourite from the Betsy Bluebell range which I coloured with Promarkers. I have used her on multiple cards as she is so versatile and I can attach many different sentiments to the bouquet to suit all occasions.The flowers are die cut from CREAlies dies which are my favourite too. The gorgeous buttons are from Stampin Up and I made my ribbon bows from Sheer ribbon by Craftwork Cards. The butterflies are just the right size to decorate my card and they are by FlonzCraft.

I have entered my card into the challenges listed below.
