Windswept

We have had a busy morning tidying and cleaning ... sent hubby out to buy some more storage units for the girls' toys.
I did find some time to ink up and colour one of my new Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy's - windswept.
I coloured the image using my promarkers, and then distressed the edges in milled lavender and stamped the swirl in dusty concorde.  The edges of all the cardstock and dp is brushed in starlight black ink, and the white cardstock is embossed using my D'vine swirls folder.  I added some gorgeous lace from my lovely blogging buddy Ali, (thank you sweetie, it broke my heart to cut it!!!), some ribbon, a bow, and a flower with a button centre.

It fits these challenges:
I Love Promarkers - lavender and lace
Everybody-Art-Challenge - Favourite things - Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy stamps, my promarkers, crafting!!
Creative Inspirations - buttons and bows
Friday Sketcher - sketch
Totally Gorguss - As you like it

And being brave having seen everyone else's entries, a final go at the Simply Sassy GDT call.
