Say It In Red, Cream and Chocolate!

Hello again and happy Friday!!! My favourite day of the week!! This week the challenge colours over at AnnaBelle Stamps are red, cream and chocolate - a gorgeous colour combo!! Here is my card:

I started my stamping my Lil' Michelle with Teddy in Tuxedo Black ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then coloured her in with copics. Her shirt was stamped on some red DP and then cut out and paper pieced. I added some cross stitching near her feet to ground my image using some linen thread. The border down the side was created by using a strip of retired Bella Rose DP and edging it with my Upper Crest border punch. Another strip of DP was added along with some Chocolate ribbon. I stamped my sentiment from All Things Grow in Chocolate Chip ink on a tiny tag die cut and adhered this behind my cream crochet flower and finished off with a red button in the flower centre which I attached with the thread left over after crocheting.

I followed the same recipe on the inside, stamping another sentiment from All Things Grow in Chocolate Chip ink and cross stitching underneath. Some more strips of ribbon and DP were added along the side.

Make sure you take a look at the AnnaBelle Stamps blog to see all of this week's creations and link up your card for this week's challenge. The details are explained below:
