Just Magnolia & ABC Challenge

I am not sure whether this card is Zingy enough for the Magnolia challenge or 'flying' enough for the ABC Challenge - lets hope so. In real life the orange is really vibrant. I made a round card for a change, then hand cut two hearts and stiched them together and gave them a spritz of glimmer mist ( Pearl). The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch that have either been coated in glossy accents crackle glaze or glitter. The magnolia image has been coloured with distress inks and again the hearts covered on glossy accents.

Image- Magnolia
Paper- Bo Bunny
Cardstock - su in regal rose and pumkin pie
Tools- Sewing machine, MS butterfly punch
Embellishments - glitter, glossy accents, flat backed blue pearls, ribbon, tulle and twine. Heart charm

Friday sketchers 72




I love these sketches especially this one. I have used my faves at the moment, Daisy D papers, the fantastic Digital Pencil Too digital image, hand cut hearts and machine stitching(which is a must for me). Again I added flock to the nappy for texture and a baby pin for good measure and to hold it all up !
