1st go at SCD Challenge

Hi All, I have spent this afternoon in my hobby hut, HID said it needed a 3rd coat of protective paint, I seem to spend more time painting the outside than working in it LOL, anyway I was working on the challenge set by the folks over at SCD. I have been following the challenges for the last 2 months, I am amazed at the work the DT and other participants produce. My daughter Sandra & niece Suzy always take part. Sandra said it is about time I had a go after all I have spent the summer practising stuff as taught by Carol (she has run courses over at Papermaze). I think it was the lace that made me want to have a go, one of my many weaknesses is lace. I have the most fabby stash of lace, mostly antique lace. I just love to look at my lace and really hate using it LOL. Well here is my 1st attempt. I inked with TH Victorian velvet, stamped an image and coloured with glaze pens and gave a spritz of glimmer mist, the lace flowers I made and I used fabric pens and cosmic shimmer to colour. The lace I used is antique cotton mmmmm lush. I am quite pleased with my 1st attempt, I really enjoyed making it.
