Lacy Isabella

     Exciting news!  Most of you know that in February and March, I served as a Guest Designer for Conie Fong on the Facebook challenges.  I loved working with Conie's images - they all color up so beautifully - and when the opportunity came to become part of her regular DT, I jumped at the chance!  So, this is my first, official card as a full-fledged, DT member at Conie Fong.  :-D

     This image is called "Isabella Blossoms" and if you click on the name, it'll take you right to the image in the Etsy store.  I used the right facing image (both right and left are included in the set.)

     Our themes are always "Anything Goes" but the April optional theme is "Lace or Pearls" and I chose to use both.  Remember, you must use a Conie Fong image to enter the FB challenges but there are both Coloring Only and Finished Project challenges.  Just look for the different folders on the FB page.


Colored with ProMarkers in soft pastels
Cut with Dare 2B Artzy die
Pink lace from my stash
"Just to say" printed and cut by hand
"Hello" sentiment cut with Tutti Designs die
Pearls added to lace, as a necklace, and in her hair
     (Pearls are my favorite embellies to add to a project
      because they make everything look so dressed up
      and elegant!)
Everything mounted onto a black card base

     Challenges:
