Ribbon and bows

I've managed a quick card this morning before we go away, as we were waiting for the cat to come in so we could take her to the cattery!! I have used the sketch from Friday Sketchers, the Colour Create theme, ruby, gold and cream, and the ribbon and bows challenge over at Just Magnolia.
I paper pieced Tilda's dress and bow and watercoloured the rest of her. The dp are all matted with gold. The broad ribbon has been in my stash for ages and I really have struggled thingking of how to use it ... I think it matches the other red!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Tilda
Colouring Media: distress inks
Papers: K and Co, Basic Grey Wassail
Embellishments: punched flowers and swirl, ribbon and gem from stash
