Resting Flower

Over on SSDS this week the theme is Flowers,  Now for me I could have gone all out and covered my make in WOC flowers,  BUT this week ive restrained myself as the image is just delightful,  I coloured her in Copic's  and Glamour dust, the papers are First Edition Spring Feast they are more Muted tones,  I finished this make with Butterflies, Satin Ribbon and a Pearl Ribbon Threader,  I added some zinging colour splash with 2 paper flowers and a pearl Brad.
