My little piece of Paradise

Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I'm new to blogging, only started at the beginning of January 2014. In that time I have had a lot of fun participating in various challenges and have been inspired by so many of you. I'm new to card making but enjoy it so much. I've been a scrapbooker for many years and card making seemed like the next logical step:)
I hope you enjoy your visit and feel free to leave me a comment or follow my blog. HUGZ :)

GDT for Crafting By Designs

Well it has been a very stressful week here for me. I ended up in the ER to find out that I have to have my gall bladder removed, so i'm just waiting on the call for surgery.. yayyyy me lol... I've never had surgery before so this is a bit unnerving. The good news though is that during my recovery I will have lots of time to craft since I won't be allowed to do anything else lol
Well enough about that... onto my card!

Back in february, I entered a challenge with my "Monochromatic Girly Card" and was chosen by Crafting By Designs as a GDT, I'm so excited that these talented ladies liked my card and ask me.
I hope they like this one too!

The image I chose for this card is by Dilly Beans, I just love their quirky images :)
I coloured her with my Prisma Pencils and this time I did some chalking which I have not done in a very long time. 
The theme for this challenge is Lace and Doilies so as you can see, that is what I used.
I wanted a vintage distressed look so i did some distressing with my Tim Holtz Tea Dye, added some pearls, flowers, burlap and a pocket watch for a trinket.
I love how this card turned out and hope you do too :)
