Another Messy Crafter: Isabella's Challenge

This week at Isabella's Challenges we have a cute sketch to follow.

I used a lovely little girl from Isabella's shop and tried my hand at more pastel colouring than I usually sport on my cards.

The papers are from Wild Rose Studio Polka Dot pad, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Papirloftet. I used some Flower Soft for centers. The ribbon is from my stash.

The sewing was done by hand and I stuck some Card Candy into the corners to finish off the card. The sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Copic colours used:
Skin: E35, E53, E51, E50
Hair: E49, E29, E44, E17
Flower pot: E15, E08, E97
Dress & Socks: YG25, YG23, YG21, YG0000
Apron & Trims: R85, R83, R81, R0000
Sky:B93,, B41, B0000
Shadows: C8, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00

If you have a moment, please check out the gorgeous work of rest of our DT.

I would like to enter that card into following challenges:
