Lotus Delight by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hi peeps.  I made this card for a very special lady (my sons' grandmother).  I went through a devastating event a year ago and this amazing lady has given me so much support, comfort, and love during my darkest moments.  Words cannot express how grateful I am to have her in my life.  So, without further ado, here is my card:

I used the gorgeous "Lotus Delight" image by Ching-Chou Kuik, found here (along with 2 other beautiful images):

Angel Wishes by Conie Fong

Hi!  I hope all the mothers out there had a wonderful Mother's Day.  My older son, who lives close to me, surprised me by coming to my apartment equipped with all the ingredients necessary to make goulash.  He is quite the cook and the dinner was truly delicious.  I was so touched by his thoughtful gesture! 

Today, I am happy to share my DT card featuring the super sweet image "Angel Wishes" by Conie Fong.  This endearing image comes with the little angel facing left and right, and is found in Conie's etsy shop here:

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).

https://www.facebook.com/groups/chingchoukuikdigitalstamps/

  There is also a blog challenge.  This beautiful image is "Come Softly" found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/279222082/come-softly-instant-download-digital?ref=shop_home_active_45

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)
