Lacey Flowers

Hallo,
I finished this card this am after doing a bit 0f coloring yesterday afternoon. I did this for the first of the Release challenges over at Flourishes - pop in and enter fpor a chance to win their entire Decembeer release (now what a great Christmas present that would be!!!) And if its anything like normal there will be several more chances to win next week!!! Check it out here - www.flourishes.org/blog/
This first challenge is for 'Feminine Flair - lace and pearls and ribbon and such.....
I used a Flourishes image for the flower from the Lenten rose set and colored it with prismacolor pencils - then I over stamped it with a lace background stamp from Cornish Heritage farms using antique linnen distress ink.
On the red card base I used a Flourishes lace stamp and stamped it many times with white craft ink and let it dry.
I cut the main panel with a Spellbinders die and edged it with a gold metallic pen and layered it to the card base.
I then went a bit wild with my pearl viva decor pen....or at least a bit anyhow - I made a frame around the main image and then added pealr corners too. Then I added a few drops to the flowers looking for a 'dew' effect - don't really think it worked though....ah well....I like how it turned out !!!!

All for tonight - I plan for some more coloring on the couch this evening, some Flourishes images and a couple for some other challenges coming up this week - we will see what I get done before getting sleepy :)
I work the next couple nights so not too much crafting time.....but if I get errands done tomorrow will have time to post something for ya....
Take Care
Tera
