Birthday Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik "Dark Lilies" and CTMH New Card Stock

Hello friends.  How is everyone?  It has been a tough few months with the hurricanes and fires.  I hope you and your families are doing well.  I see there are three storms in the Atlantic Ocean; and two are hurricanes.  What a year this has been for Hurricanes.

It is time for another Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post and it is Anything Goes.  I used this beautiful image "Dark Lilies".  I own most of Ching-Chou Kuik images; so I am still trying to use a lot of my older ones.  I found this paper with Lilies on it and thought it would look good with this image.  I thought it turned out pretty good.
