Dare U to use 1 ribbon, 2 Patterned papers & 3 Flowers

Hi Folks!
It's a recipe challenge over on 'Dare U 2 Digi Stamp' this week and the recipe is: 1 Ribbon, 2 Patterned Papers and 3 Flowers. I really wanted to make a feature of the flowers so I made up some die cut decoupage flowers from the Wild Asparagus, MME range. I thought it would be perfect to have my Rosabella peaking out through these gorgeous flowers. My creation is really a wall hanging but I found it difficult to photograph on the wall so it ended up on my bed.
Firstly I ripped 2 pieces of patterned paper and adhered to the top and bottom of an A4 sheet of acetate. I then used my Fiskars 'threading water' border punch along the two long sides. I threaded my long sheer white ribbon down one side, along the bottom and up the other side, tying it into a bow at the end. I re-sized, printed out, coloured and cut Rosabella Sitting and placed her on the layout with the flowers. Lastly I printed a picture of my daughter, Isabelle in one of her fairy outfits. I adhered this to the back of the layout. Having looked at it again I think I may add some extra glitter to the tulle on Isabelle's dress, to give it a bit more sparkle...a fairy can never have enough sparkle.
Hope you are able to join us with the recipe challenge.
Ciao for now!

Hi Sandra. Hope you had a great holiday. I've just got back from mine and have been having a look to see what I've missed. Your creations are all stunning as always but I especially like those new WOJ stamps and what you have done with them.
Have a great weekend.
