The crumpled gingham bp is from my stash, stamped and embossed with stitching stamps from Elusive Images around the edge and stitched flowers in the corners with tiny lilac buttons in the centres.
The image is coloured with promarkers, the stripey wallpaper in the background was also coloured with promarkers. The mirror is triple embossed with clear EP to give a little shine. The lilac gingham ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.
