Purple Balloon by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hello everyone!  Hope your weekend was nice.  My weekend was rather trying because we had an ice storm on Friday, then quite a bit of snow, and three power outages, all on the same day. Crazy! The ice storm covered every single branch.  It was incredibly beautiful.  When the sun finally came out for a bit, everything was sparkling.  Afterwards, it snowed.  What a breathtaking sight!  A winter wonderland, for sure.

My DT card today features the lovely "Purple Balloon" image by Ching-Chou Kuik, found here:
This card is for Ching Chou's monthly Facebook challenge.  The theme is Valentine's Day/Love/For Someone Special).



Ching-Chou also has a blog challenge:
If you enter either one, or both, you may win some gorgeous images.  The image is coloured with Copics and Polychromos.  My flowers are handmade.  I cut the overlay twice and offset the dark purple one for some dimension.  Thank you for visiting, and enjoy your day.  Hugs, Lori xx
