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.

This is absolutely beautiful Shirley - the stitching is so effective and compliments the paper perfectly. Love the little stickles spots on Tilda's hat too!
Fantastic!
