GDT at Guylou's Inimitability

Hi there, I was chuffed to bits to be invited to be a guest designer at Guylou's Inimitablilty   this week. The challenge theme is Girly Girly  and Brenda is challenging us to use lace and pearls on our projects. Oh my goodness I was spoiled for choice with all the stunning digi's in Guylou's shop. After much ooohing and ahhhhhing though I decided to use this adorable Cupid image

The challenge runs until the first of March and the random winner will receive a $10  gift certificate for Guylou's online store and have the chance to be a guest designer too! If you use one of Guylou's gorgeous digistamps you'll get an extra entry to the draw and best of all if you don't have any there are some fab freebies in the store!! 

Anyway back to my card, the image is coloured with promarkers and glamourdusted for a bit of sparkle. I've used a backing paper from Bearly Mine and come lace and ribbon from my stash. The image is layered over some cuttlebugged pink card and embellished with some paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I've added faux pearls to the corners of the image and the card too.
