Just Magnolia, Simon Says Stamp and Stamp Something challenges

Gee whiz you must all have been really busy over the weekend! Is it just me or are there tumbleweeds rolling in blogland the last few days?? I myself made quite a few cards over the weekend but wasn't happy with any of them. My mojo seems to be hiding somewhere, I hope I find it soon! This card I made today and even though my comfort zone was stretching to bursting point with the colours I'm happier with this card than any I made at the weekend! This is for three challenges. Just Magnolia who stretched my comfort zone with their fab challenge of bright and zingy, I can safely say this is bright and zingy LOL! Simon Says Stamp challenge to Domi's gorgeous sketch, thank you Domi I love your sketch! and last but not least Stamp Something challenge to use bling! I have a huge thank you to say to Stamp Something, I was so thrilled to find out I had been chosen as one of the top 5 stampers in last weeks challenge!!!

I have used the gorgeous Tilda with roses and coloured her with copics in colours to match the bright, zingy paper. As I don't normally use these sort of colours I didn't have a distress ink to match to ink around the edges so instead I have stamped a dotty swirl stamp in grey and covered the swirls in stickles. I can't get them to shine much on the photo it is so grey and miserable here today!

The flowers are a mixture of retro punched from the pink paper and the roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and they have been sprayed with glimmer mist for more bling! I used my precious doiley lace punch too and added some gorgeous pink ribbon that I think I actually cut out of a top (you know those hanging bits they put in LOL).


The sentiment I have written myself and covered it in stickles to carry on the bling theme.

Hope you like it and thanks for looking! x
