LITTLE HARLEQUIN : DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY

One of the cuties I drew for the Digistamps 4 Joy store is called "Little Harlequin" and I have finally got a chance to make a card :


I coloured the image using alcohol markers and the colour palette I chose was determined by the DP.  I have never tried to match the colouring of my image so closely with the DP and as the image and the DP had the same shapes (diamonds) I thought I would attempt it this time.  It's something completely new for me as I always colour then choose the DP and embellies.  So this is something completely new for me:


To construct the card I used the following:
Glitter DP
Marianne's Creatables die
Glitter flower gems and seed beads
Fabric flowers, flower sequins and seed beads
Satin ribbon bow
Concertina ruffle
Organza ribbon ruffle

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
