Boho Chic and WOYWW


I coloured this image ages ago ... it has cropped up on several WOYWW pics .. .finally got it onto a card last night ...
The image is Boho Chic from the Simply Sassy range over at Sugar Nellie.  She is coloured using my promarkers, and then I lightly distressed the background and stickled the image.  The dp is SU and I made the flower using 3 sizes of peony nesties, cut onto blue cardstock and stamped with a swirl stamp in DI photo vintage.   I distressed the doilly to help it fit in, and added this gorgeous off-white lace.  Finally some flat backed pearls.

Challenges:
Passion for Promarkers - divas with glamour and glitter
Charisma Cardz - Bingo - flowers, glitter nad pearls
Papertake Weekly - Grow your own

 And as it Wednesday and time for a trip round the crafty desks in blogland, led by the lovely Julia, here was my desk as I made the card last night ...
Image in the background, along with that lush lace, and the flowers cut ready to 'enhance'!!!  Ohhh a a packet of malteasers, nearly empty ...hmmmmmm love malteasers!!!

Worth the wait - card is lovely. Like your little black crates too - do they fold if empty (ha ha, what am I saying!!).
