Good morning crafters, hope the weather is fine for you today. The Halloween party looms and yesterday I baked a cake!!!! So what I hear you say - well, I don't do cakes!!! I probably won't do anymore either after this effort - well it is probably edible but the butter icing on top was supposed to be orange - yep you guessed it - for a pumpkin - but it turned out red. I was going to take a picture to show off my other skills but I obviously haven't got any (sob sob!)
Anyway enough of feeling sorry for myself and onto my card for today. I have fallen in love with the Magnolia stamps particularly Tilda and have ordered one - a Halloween one so won't get used till next year but I really love the Tilda as a bat!! The one I have used on my card was a stamped image I received in a candy win.
I have coloured her with water colour crayons and added crystal glitter on the neckline of her top. The oval shape is from Core'dinations -
ROY.G.BIV - and has been sanded to distress the edges - I hope you can see it. The main background paper is from Funky Hand -
It's Funky Too, and the pale pink paper is from Funky Fairys -
Simply Brushed and the brown and pink paper is from their
Chocolate Covered Christmas kit and this has been torn along the edge - a bit more distressing.
The flowers have been punched out from brown felt ( I have had this since I first started crafting and suddenly thought about it today for brown flowers - there would have been too much pink otherwise), and corrugated card with added gems for a bit of bling. The sentiment is one I have had for ages and been very reluctant to use but needs must - sorry I can't remember who they are from.
Whoops I nearly forgot, the sketch is from
Just Magnolia and is one of Martines - it is lovely and is shown below
I managed to get the paper layers mixed up but I don't think that matters!!
The other challenges I am entering this card for are :-
Use Your Stash - most treasured stash (sentiment and felt),
Simon Says Challenge - Get Well Card,
My Time To Craft - Rip It Up,
Magnolia Down Under - Distressing plus Magnolia Stamp and
Sophisticat Challenge - Pink, Brown and flowers.
Finally, another card done. Please pop by and let me know what you think, your comments do mean a lot to me.
Thanks
