I've kept the card fairly simple, coloured the image with promarkers, cut with a nestie and inked around the edge with victorian velvet distress ink and matted it on another nestie inked with shabby shutters distress ink.
I've dusted off one of my embossing folders for the background and added some faux pearls from my stash. The gorgeous ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and to finish off i've added a couple of beaded pins made with head pins, crystals and pearls from my jewellery making stash.
