Distressed Magnolia

This card is for the challenge over on "Just Magnolia" blog this week -- distressing. And oh, yes, I did distress... Here's the distressed part: I used Tim Holts distressing tool around the CS layers, then sponged Vintage Photo ink by Ranger on the distressed edges. I layered a Lattice die cut (SU Exclusive die) over the Crushed Curry layer and sponged over it also. Over-stamped the layers with "Small Trailing Butterflies" from Rubber City Cafe in SU Basic Brown . Here's the Magnolia part: The actual Magnolia image has a teeny tiny tag and butterfly on it, but I covered them with bigger punched versions by Martha Stewart. I hand wrote "Birthday Hugs" onto the tag, and threaded a little bit of hemp fiber through the end. I stamped "Small Trailing Butterflies" by The Rubber Cafe onto Taken with Teal CS before punching out the butterflies. The butterfly images didn't match the stamp exactly but it was a pretty good fit! I added glitter to the roses -- which maybe you can see better in this picture: TFL, I'm so glad you stopped by!

Magnolia Challenge

Hope ya'll are having a great weekend!! This cute little Magnolia sweety is for the Just Magnolia Pink and Green Challenge. These images are so fun to color!! Thanks to Julia (Create With Me) for sharing! I just love 'em all!! After coloring her with copics, I added a tad bit of sparkle using my Copic Spica Glitter Pens (remember those, anyone out there still using them too??) over the edge of the wings and the little cross she's wearing. I stamped a couple of sentiments from SU's So Many Sayings and punched them out with SU Word Window punch. Attached them to the ribbon. The ribbon I used ($1.00 bin from Mike's) is actually white, green and pink striped already, but I colored some of the white, wide stripes with the light pink to match the colors better that I used on little Tilda. Thanks for stopping by!!
