Getting back into the swing!

I love the gentle colours in this photo inspiration picture from The Shabby Tea Room. I'm afraid that the colours in my picture look a little harsh in comparison, but in fact they too are gentle.
I am entering it for several challenges.
The Shabby Tea Room - Embrace the white (photo Inspiration)
Allsorts - No DPs
Papertake - Anything Goes
Crafty Ann's challenge #11 - To someone Special
The sentiment is a stamp from Cuddly Buddly, which fitted perfectly into the largest Spellbinders die from the Butterfly set. It is a quote from Galatians and reads 'The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.'
The embossing, using lightly pearlised paper, is Cuttlebug, as are the die cut flowers.
This beautiful piece of ribbon is from a wonderful secret Santa bundle I received last Christmas.
