A VINTAGE CARD FOR A FRIEND

I have made a vintage card for a friend, and used the recipe from another challenge:

no image, 2 DPs, ribbons, pearls and a sentiment

and this is my card



The three flower squares are from Graphic 45 'Secret Garden' DP and the background DP is an offcut.  I have used the following for my card:

cream CS base
dark beige DP (edges chalked) for the mats
The sentiment is a popular but I created it in MS Word, and it's embellished with ribbon bow, a punched and embossed flower and a sewn on pearl bead
There is a chalked die cut fkourish decorated with punched and embossed flowers and sewn on pearl beads.
