I finally got my card done for the September Progressive Challenge at ArtbyMiRan. I had lots of fun coloring this one and it didn't take me long to settle on my favorite color combo, lavender and aqua.
I colored with my ProMarkers, die cut with a set from QuicKutz, and began thinking of design ideas for the card. I was digging through the boxes of ribbon and lace when I discovered that I still have about 18 inches of that particular lace. I thought I had used it all but there it was, a perfect complement for that image!
I knew the lace wasn't going to look as dramatic if I laid it across a white card front, so then I went digging for exactly the right shade of lavender CS. Once that was found and adhered, the lace went on, then the sentiment and image. I debated between flowers or bows but decided the bows worked best, one in pale lavender, the other in rich purple.

She is so pretty, Connie! I love the magical feel of her ribbons and hair! And those lavender eyes! Wow! Beautiful card - it must have been very difficult working with a color you don't particularly care for (giggle). NOT! Very pretty, my friend! xo
She's beautiful! Well, the card is too! Haha. I love the aqua and lavender. If I tried to do that, it would be a total mess so big kudos to you...I LOVE. It.,
Such a BEAUTIFUL card, love how you have coloured the image and you are right the lace is perfect, as are the bows in different colours.
Faith.
