LOTV challenge

I havent entered a challenge and made a card just for fun for so long that the other night i decided to pull out my sadly neglected LOTV stamps that i bought at the NEC, inked this darling up and colored her with my copics and am gonna enter the sketch challenge on Lily of the valley challenge blog.  I know there are so many entries that the chance of winning is slim to none, but i just wanted to do something fun for a change.
I used loads of stickles on her skirt, crown and around the edges of my layers.  I added a few vines cut from Marianne creatable in with my flowers, not sure you can even see them, but they're there, the sentiment is also a LOTV.  I added the large lush ribbon and a charm to finish it off.





I havent had a chance to finish the inside of my card as i got a call this morning to say that my elderly aunt who9 is 85, is in the ICU in hospital and not doing well, so i cant say when i will be back with my next card, however i do have a few dt cards scheduled for the next few days, will let you now of any fu.rther developements.
