A Bit of Shabby Chic

Good morning everyone!  Well yesterday turned out to be another beautiful day in Blackpool no rain in sight!

Today's card has a touch of shabby chic to it I think.  Although I quite liked the card whilst I was making it now I'm not very sure about it!

The image is Lili of the Valley and has been coloured with Copics and Prismas with some Stickles added.  The papers are a mixture of First Edition Boho Chic and Prima Fairy Belle collection.  I have used loads of dies:
Spellbinders for the image and birdcage, Memory Box for the dandelion clock, Doohickey for the flower, Marianne for the ivy, bird and frame around the image and Woodware punch for the butterflies. My blooming sewing machine kept jamming so I had to take the thread out and just faux stitch around the edges.  I have added a lot of Picket Fence Distress Stain but you can just pick a bit out.  The gems, pearl brads and seam binding are all from my stash.  I would like to enter the following challenges:
