GDT - Ching-Chou Kuik Challenge

Hi everyone,

I hope you've had a good week and are planning something fun for the weekend.

A few weeks ago I was selected to be the very first Guest Designer for

Ching-Chou Kuik's Challenge

 I'm so excited for this honour and can't wait to show you what I've made.

The theme for the month of May is Lace

I've been a fan of Ching-Chou Kuik's work for a long time. 

  Some of my very first posts when I started blogging were

cards made with her wooden stamps.

Now I have a large digital collection...all waiting for precious colouring time.

I was given my choice of image for the challenge and decided on one I didn't have 

and that is  Petals of Rainbow available here.

I thought this would give me a chance to practice colouring flowers.
