Whiff of Joy - Lavender and Lace

Good morning from a dull and wet island this morning. Todays card is for the challenge over on WOJ my first entering apart from the GDT call. Stunning examples from the very talented DT and I look forward to joining in from now on. Lavender and Lace is this weeks theme and these Pink Petticoat papers are just perfect. The gorgeous image has been coloured using my Lyra crayons my colouring is getting better with these I hope! I have ordered a couple of WOJ stamps and can't wait for them to arrive. I was impressed by the size of the images as I received some from a very good friend (you know who you are :) ) I just had to get some! I have made a flower from broderie anglais lace and sewn a button in the centre to make a flower. I'm really pleased with the way the flower and the card have turned out. Will definately be making more of my own embellishments in the future.

Oh Ali...

It's really gorgeous! I'm a little wary of purple, but might need to give it a second chance. I've gotten a lovely purple card from someone recently, but I can't think who??? ;-)
