A Marriage Proposal card!

Hi! It's Wednesday, which means there are only 2 days left for the weekend!
 The days are going so fast, I feel like I haven't got enough time to do everything I need to do!
24-hour days are not enough! maybe it's my time management... I get distracted a lot! I should add another resolution to my list: getting more organised!

Today I've got a very special card for you.... I was asked to make this by the brother of a friend of mine, who wants to propose to his girlfriend! So this card is all about LOVE and GIRLINESS!!!

I found this quote, and straight away I knew I had to use it! It's amazing! it's called Valentine Subway art and you can find it at The Girl Creative blog.

I put the quote over a reddish pink ornate frame die cut. 

The pale pink background paper is from local shop (non-branded), then I used a fabric feel paper from First Edition "Rose Garden" collection, which I cut with a Go Create large frame die.

I hand-stitched around the bottom layer with white thread.

Across the card, I used a floral Martha Stewart border punch, together with a very beautiful ribbon I've had in my stash for a very long time. It's got little flowers and pearls attached to it.

I used the Joy Crafts Butterfly border die for the Butterflies and added some glitter glue (girly cards always need glitter!

The tag is also from Joy Crafts.

The flourish corner is a die from Marianne Creatables.

The doily is from local shop.

The flowers are from Hobbycraft and Wild Orchid Crafts, which I also covered in glitter glue.

The metallic "twigs" with beads are also from Hobbycraft (sorry, not sure about how to call them!)

Pearls are also from WOC.

on the Inside of the card, I made a Pop-up heart, with the girl's name on it. 

I used again the flourish corner die, and some punched butterflies, all covered in glitter glue. 

I added some washi tape to the heart (stars washi tape). The sentiment is also a washi tape. both from local shop. 

the big rose is from a K&Company paper. More glitter glue on it, plus some liquid pearls.

The ribbon seems a bit random, but it's purpose is to tie a engagement ring with it!

I've covered the girl's name inside the heart for privacy reasons
