  This week, the design team members were asked to create a card with "Dots and/or Stripes".  This is what I came up with:

This beautiful image is Ching-Chou Kuik's "Iris", and is found here:

  What a beauty she is!  Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils were used to colour this lovely image.  Since I love to make flowers, the iris and the other flowers are handmade.  I wish you a happy week.  Lori xx

I used the lovely "Hummingbirds" image by Ching-Chou Kuik.  You can find it here in her etsy shop:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/454161406/hummingbirds-digital-stamp-instant?ref=shop_home_active_141

This is the first time that I made a shabby/chic card and I really enjoyed making it.  I distressed the edges of the patterned paper at the top to achieve an old and weathered look. As always, I used a combination of Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils to colour this fabulous image.  The iris is handmade.  Have a nice week.  Until next time.  xx
