Wild Rose Studio lady with wine

This card is for my friend Eunice, her Niece is 50 soon.

I have chosen a clear stamp by Wild Rose Studio called 'Lady with wine', I have used her a lot lately, she is one of my favourite stamps.

I have coloured her with promarkers and prisma pencils and added a touch of GD, then cut her out with a nellie die and inked around the edge.

I have attached it to the silver card with brads, I then added a doily and then threaded the pink organza ribbon through the die cut and tied in a bow, I then stuck the image down with sticky pads. I cut 3 small flowers with my tonic punch and added some pearls to the centre, the sentiments are computer generated.
