Thinking of You - Shy Little Nickie

Good morning! TGIF!!! Today I wanted to show you an easel card that I made using this Inky Impression image called Shy Little Nickie . Here is my card:



Isn't this a beautiful image? Here is a close-up picture:


Can you see the vellum butterflies I added to the flowers in the flowerpot?

I followed the Midnight Madness sketch this week. I colored my image with copics and used K & Co paper, gingham ribbon from Michaels, pearls and lace from my stash, and spellbinder dies.

Here are the challenges that I will be entering this card in:

Crazy 4 Challenges - spring theme
One Stop Craft Challenge - let it shine
Secret Crafter - spring
Crafty Cardmakers - spring
Totally Stampalicious - polka dots and ribbon (polka dots in hair band)
Midnight Madness - sketch
Flutter by Wednesday - open theme (must have fairies or butterflies on card)

I hope you like her? Thanks for visiting me today. Have a wonderful weekend!
