Sooooooooo Cute - Paper Play DT Card

Good morning peeps,
Happy Australia Day to my friends down under :)
I'm running later due to another lie in, gawd I feel so lazy lol, so I will cut the waffle today and get straight down to business.

Today is new challenge day at
& this week our challenge is a nice easy one,
Ingredients -
Image - Saturated Canary, Medium - Copics, Papers - Magnolia, Flowers - Wild Orchid, Magnolia & punched, Pearls - Melissa Frances, Sentiment - Magnolia, Ribbon - Stampin' Up, Lace - Simplicity line trim (love the iridescent shimmer on this), Pin - homemade, Feather - Etsy, Fancy Corner - E Crafts, Button & Twine - The Ribbon Girl
Tools - MS PATP, Magnolia Doo Hickey Heart Swirls, Woodware mini butterfly punch, EK Success mini retro flower punch 
I'll pop back & link products in a mo :)
I love Krista's images & have bought loads, I just need to try & give my beloved Magnolia's a little rest while I colour them up.
The Copic colours I've used are - Skin - E000, E00, E11, E01, R20, Hair - E27, E31, E50, Top - R85, R83, R81, Skirt & Boots - E17, E19, E33, E30, Balloons - RV95, RV93, RV91 & RV13, RV11, RV10.
For the sparkle I have used Crystal Glamour Dust paint which I love as it's much quicker to apply than the glamour dust glitter and I didn't end up covered in sparkle like I usually do, I just need to try & remember where I bought it!
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Crafty Sentiments - lace & pearls, Deep Ocean - sparkling/glitter, Die Cuttin' Divas - buttons, bows &/or bling, Everybody Art - swirls, Ladybug Crafts Inc - bows, Papertake - happy highlights, Make It Monday - anything goes, Truly Madly Crafty - anything goes, Pile It On - lace, Sketch Saturday - sketch, Cardmad Fairy - ribbons & bows, Chocolate, Coffee & Cards - glitter, 4 Crafty Chicks - pins, Saturated Canary - punches & dies
That's me done peeps, I'm heading to the kettle for a coffee to try & wake myself up properly & settle down & do some blogging as it's blooming cold here which is just perfect for a day snuggled at home :)
Thanks for stopping by
