BEAUTY AND THE DOVE OF PEACE


This gorgeous image was recently a freebie from The Paper Shelter and I coloured her using alcohol markers and a white gel pen:
To create my card I used the following from my hoarded stash:

white cs base
green cs mat
punched order die, gems, a single hole punch and lacing


a glittered brad in her hair 
faux eyelet technique using card candi and a punch


washi tape as a base for the peel off sentiment








I would like to enter these challenges:
