Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge - double Dutch

I hope you are enjyongi the gorgeous spring weather, my peonies have come out into full flower, surrounded by late narcissus and tulips that seem to have come and gone in no time.  My card today has a dramatic purple peony on it, while mine are the more common pink in real life! 
The new challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon is sponsored by Fred, She Said Designs and we were lucky enough to be sent a stunning selection of ribbons to work with for the challenge, which is to use two ribbons, laces or trims.  I picked a couple of the purple ribbons and added in a purplicious pre-coloured peony from the Fred She Said Shop, you can buy it here in a selection of colours and it's also available as a digi to colour, of course.  I printed off a decoupage sheet and layered it up several times, adding some Glossy Accents as dew drops, the background is brushed with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.  I've used a strip ribbon to edge the Basic Grey Kioshi DP strip on the card and I've looped a gorgeous dotty ribbon to the left, securing it with a brad with a metal spacer charm.
My purple peony is for the following challenges:
Basic Grey - use a charm
Fabulous Friday - spots and stripes (on the ribbons)
Simply Create - time to rock the metal
Sassy Studios - monochrome
Tuesday Throwdown - use brads or eyelets

Wishing you a speedy recovery

I didn't have room to use my "Wishing you a speedy recovery" sentiment stamp  on the front of this, so I used a simple Get Well Soon and stamped the inside.  The image is the adorable Speedster from Phindy's Place, coloured with Copics and Distress Inks and I followed the Tuesday Morning Sketchers layout.  DP is Basic Grey, some brads and ribbon came from stash and my card is for the following challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketches - sketch
Paper Sundaes - childhood memories
Fabulous Friday - brads
