Just Magnolia Friend!!

6:44 AM

I scooped up the new Basic Grey Wisteria (and Lime Rickey) 6x6 pad, brads and buttons the other day when they came in to Scrappin' Great Deals. (Actually I don't even think they were all completely unpacked or priced....but I HAD to grab them...hehe!) I just looooove the purples and blues in the Wisteria, don't you? I think you're either a purple person, or you're not....I totally am. I mean, my wedding was purple!

So this is the first design I made using the new Wisteria stuff and I got a chance to play along with the Just Magnolia sketch challenge for this week too! Can you believe this poor little girl was still in her package....all sad and unloved?? *gasp* So I inked her up good with my Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped her on 150lb Canson paper and used my coordinating Copic markers to colour her in, then cut her out. The card base is a 6x6 Perfect Plum square along wth Baja Breeze for matting.

I used my new Blossom Nestabilities dies and added some satin ribbon across the middle. I used these cool rhinestone flourishes for the first time (and definitely not the last) and attached some Prima flowers and a jewellery spacer with a Wisteria brad. Then I added a friend sentiment by AmyR at the bottom. I finished it off by adding some highlights on Tilda with a white gel pen.

Well, I'm off to work again this afternoon and evening but I hope to get a couple of things done this morning, in between loads of laundry. Happy stampin'!!!

Pinky said...: I am droooooolllling over your Tilda card today - I love every last detail!!!!

I am a purple person as well. When I was a child I told my Mom I wanted to live in a purple house. Well, I didn't go that far but I do have a purple couch and love seat in my family room and I LOVE it. The fabric is the same colour as your Nesties background.

Looking forward to your next creation - you inspire me!; May 5, 2009 10:24 PM
