Image - Sweet Mary Lou - Coloured in Photoshop

Digital Papers - Flowers after the rain - Sweet shoppe Designs

Marianne Creatable - Anja's leaves 3

X cut - Vintage notes doily

Sentiment by me (freebie below)

Flower - scalloped circle dies

Ribbons, diamanté ribbon slider, gems - Meiflower

The flower is made from tissue paper, I folded a piece of tissue paper up until there were nine layers then used the 3 smallest scalloped circle dies to cut it out (cuts through all nine layers at once, so quick and easy). I layered these up from largest to smallest and pushed a brad through the centre. I then scrunched every layer, one by one, around the centre brad (this takes a bit of time), and then opened them out again to make the flower. I was trying to make something similar to the flowers on her headband and waistband, and was quite pleased with the result as it does look similar.

I also changed the colour of the digi stamp to a medium brown then darkened around the eyes and the eyelashes (every girl needs lashings of mascara).
