Come Softly by Ching Chou Kuik

Hi crafty friends!  I hope you are all doing well.  Spring has not been very cooperative thus far.  It's been either cloudy, cold, raining or all three on any given day.  It would be nice to see some  sunshine, for sure.

I have created a center step card this time as my DT inspiration for Ching-Chou Kuik's monthly Facebook challenge (theme: lace).
  There is also a blog challenge.  This beautiful image is "Come Softly" found here:


Here is a side view:



The image is coloured with Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  I wanted to include the same butterfly that's part of the image as an embellishment so I printed two copies of the image, fussy cut them and popped them around the image to add some interest.  The tiny flowers are handmade.  I wish you a lovely weekend.  xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Border:    Heartfelt Creations "Layered Elegant Swirl" die
Flowers:  EK Success "Retro" punch (small)
Label:      Spellbinders "Vintage Lace Motifs" die

Swarovski crystals and lace are from my stash.
