Iris Dreams birthday card

I had so much fun making this card - I just love colouring these Sweet Pea fairy images. I've combined 3 challenges for this card - the Little Red Wagon Seeing Spots challenge,  the Open-Minded Crafting Fun challenge to use ribbon,  and the Seize the Birthday - May Flowers challenge.

Supplies: Sweet Pea digi stamp "Iris Dreams;" Spectrum Noir and Bic markers; Martha Stewart crystal glitter; Cuttlebug tag die; Annabelle Stamps sentiment; May Arts ribbon; Distress inks in Seedless Preserves, Broken China, Dusty Concord, Tumbled Glass; Tattered Angels glimmer mists in Chalkboard Lilac & Blue Skies; Versamark; Sapphire EP; Sakura Stardust clear glitter pen; Sharpie white paint pen

I printed out two copies of the image so that I could pop up the flowers (and one arm). Once I'd coloured everything but her hair I asked Connor what colour her hair should be, and he chose blue. After colouring I added glitter to the flower centres & her hair. A smidge of glitter pen on her eyes, and ta-da! The background was made with the faux-faux patina technique. The ribbon was heated with my heat gun to melt & warp it a little, which also stiffens it & helps it hold its shape. (As a side note, isn't it funny how we tend to use the same techniques over & over in little bursts? I think 90% of my ribbon has been melted lately!)
