Cute Card Thursday meets Saturated Canary!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog the theme is "A Different Corner", and on Saturated Canary Challenge blog we have a colour scheme...I think of them as icecream colours...

So for my card I decided to combine them and use the new Hugs & Kisses freebie image from Saturated Canary...although she is no longer available as a freebie, Krista has added her to the SC store for a reduced price of $2. I have coloured her with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

I added a Unity Stamps sentiment, Bakers Twine and some ribbon which was stuck to the corners of the image and I made a flower using another colour. To make the flower all you need to do it take a strip of stitched grosgrain ribbon and pull the stitching on one side, this will bunch the ribbon up...then twist into a flower and stick.
