Cute as a Button Inspiration post

It is my turn to do an inspiration post for Cute as a Button showcase blog
http://cuteasabuttonshowcase.blogspot.com.au/

My eyes are bad today so I have made a digital card with a precolouredimage.
I have used 2 papers from Lozzy's Apple and Grape paper set and one paper from Lozzy's Candy Crush Delight set.  which I have layered on top of each other.  Added plain green paper, pink paper and Cute as a Button precoloured digi stamp My New Beats.  (You can also buy this digi stamp as a black and white stamp for you to colour).  Added digital ribbon and bow.

This is a close up of the sentiment
