Funky Fairy Challenge #18-recipe

This weeks Funky Fairy Challenge was a recipe:
To use 3 colours ONLY
1 piece of ribbon
3 buttons...hand made OR the real thing
AND to use a paper punch somewhere on your design!
Here's my card! This is the first time that I've followed a "recipe" and I had some trouble with it. I tried a few different papers and a couple of different layouts and then had to walk away to get dinner ready yesterday evening (I was starting to frustrate myself anyway, so this was probably a good thing). After the girls went to bed, I sat back down and finally put this together. The pink patterned papers are from a paper pad that I bought just for all of these random patterns. The green strip is grass green shimmer cs by The Paper Company. The buttons are from my stash. The Sentiment stamp is See-D's; I first wrote over it with a lime stardust pen and then embossed it using my green glaze pen. I do believe that this will go to a good friend of mine that just moved to the Bel Air, MD area...hmmm, she's not really a pink person though so I might have to rethink that.
