Woohoo!!! It's Friday and that means it's nearly the weekend and it also means that it is the NEC show!!! Hopefully I'm not lost on the M something or other (great start I don't even know which motorway I'm supposed to be on LOL) while you're reading this because I'm going to the NEC today!!!! This is scheduled, obviously, and I should have been driving for an hour by the time you read this so hopefully I'm halfway there by now! It's the first time I've driven such a long way on my own for years so I've been very nervous about it! Anyhoooow, this week's challenge at Just Magnolia is a sketch by little old me!! It's a nice easy one, so I hope you like it! For my card I have used the last of a sheet of Basic Grey Wisteria paper I've had for ages. I distressed the edges with antique linen distress ink and stickles, I stitched them too!
I am just so in love with this litte Edwin aren't you? His little face is so cute! I have coloured him with distress inks and added stickles to his wings. I always seem to do his hair blonde as he reminds me of my little boy LOL! I stamped around the image with Magnolia's New Years swirl using antique linen distress ink and added some stickles to the swirls. I stamped Magnolia dot butterflies around Edwin and stamped them again on a separate sheet so that I could add dimension to their wings. I have added a touch of stickles to them all too.
I added a gorgeous selection of blue flowers, all sprayed with glimmer mist. The large blue rose is from Hobby Craft, the smaller roses and blossom from Wild Orchid crafts and the other flower is by Petaloo.
I have written the sentiment by hand with a gold gel pen and inked around it with antique linen distress ink before adding more stickles!
Hope you like it and can join us this week at Just Magnolia! The rest of the DT have created some stunning inspiration too! Hopefully I might bump into some of you at the NEC today and all assuming I manage to find my way home I'll show you the goodies I buy! x
