Punches, Dies, buttons and bows

I found two challenges this week that worked really well together.

The first is Whoopsi Daisy - punches and dies:

And the other is Brown Sugar Challenge - buttons and bows:

I have kept to a fairly minimal colour scheme with this card so that the detail doesn't get lost:

The image that I chose to use is the latest freebie from Whoopsi Daisy which worked perfectly with the theme of dies and punches.  I have coloured her with my copics.

The dies that I have used are an oval from Marianne's Design (Creatables 1204) and a doily die from Cherry Lynn.

The punch has been used on the edge of the cream pearlised card and is a Eyelet Lace Border Punch from Martha Stewart.

I have added three gold bows and two buttons.   The buttons are some that my Mum gave me that she had had in a box for many years and not used.  I liked the pretty gold strips on them.
