Crafty Ann's Monochrome Challenge

Hi, wow Friday already and another challenge over at Crafty Ann's challenge blog and this time around the challenge is 'Monochrome' i've used Ann's fab Calla Lilies image and one of the beautiful mottled stone backing papers (check them out at  Ann's shop here) to make this card

I've painted the image with Twinkling h2o's and matted it on some brown card. I've also distressed the edges of the image and the bp with a craft knife and embossed them with gold EP. I punched borders from brown and cream pearlescent paper with a MS punch and added some brown velvet ribbon. The buckle is a printable embellishment from Crafty Ann's - I love these as you can colour and resize them to match your project and save a fortune!! I painted this buckle with h2o's and added gold stickles. To finish the card off I added some dew drops and a couple of calla lillies tied with a little brown ribbon. The lillies were white but I sprayed them with a little glimmer mist to colour them brown.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges
