Magnolia #20: Ribbons and Bows

 

 

I ordered the Fall Magnolia Stamp Club kit this year and was pleasantly surprised when they arrived last week already. So, I've used one on this week's submission. I colored her with Copics, and used some new October Afternoon patterned paper. Bazill CS; charm from "The Beadery"; ribbons from Michael's; button from Basic Grey; pearls from Kaiser; and the sentiment came with the Magnolia set. After I took the pics I realized the color of the red ribbon is a bit off...too late to fix it without scrapping the whole project...so I'm going to have to go with the flow this time...not always easy for me. (I did actually try to fix it...type A personality...thats me...) LOL.

Anyway, I used a sketch I saw on "All the things I love". It was so cute I wanted to try it. It was fun to use, and will definitely go into my "use again" binder.

Thanks for looking. Shirley.

Just Magnolia Challenge #18

 

 

The challenge this week was "friends"...and this is my entry. I saw this sketch on one of the blogs I visited while on a night shift (an unusually quiet one). I drew it out in my notebook but didn't write down where it came from...so if you are visiting and recognize the sketch, please let me know, I'll give credit where it is due. Anyway, I loved it, and even used some distressing, which I rarely do.

Tilda is colored with Copics, but I didn't have the right shade of green, so I went over her hat and blouse with Prismas and Gamsol. I used orange stickles on her hat and blouse, and pink stickles on the butterflies. The CS is Bazill, and the PP is Cosmo Cricket--Girl Friday. Ribbon, twine, buttons and "bling" are all from Michaels. I used the Martha Stewart Flower lace punch, and I did a lot of sewing on this card...I love sewing on cards.

Thanks so much for looking! Shirley.
