SFTW Monochromatic challenge

Hello my friends! It's a bit manic in our house today, kids are off school with an inset day and hubby is trying to sleep having been on nights mmmm me thinks that lots of food is called for to keep small mouths closed!!
It's Friday again (yay for all those who don't work wkends bleugh for me who has work tomorrow!) It's another challenge over at stampin for the weekend and it's one I love which is monochromatic (for those not in the know thats shades of one colour).
I love these challenges and have fully jumped into my purple side today!!
Check out my absolutely stunning image, she is one of a set by the fabulous Rick St Dennis MFA available at his etsy store.

I have used papermania capsule papers and have followed the sketch this wk at wild orchids. My white edging on the right is a marianne deep edge die (most of it is hidden!) and my fantastic flowers are of course wild orchids again. My fab metal scroll corner and sparkly butterfly are from e crafts with my ribbons coming from stash.
I have coloured my stunning mermaid with prisma pencils and inked all my edges with dusty concord.
