Woohoo!! time for another challenge at Magnolia Down Under Challenge and this week we have a recipe for you! The recipe is 3 papers, 2 buttons and 1 ribbon. I'm not sure I actually like my card - think I overdid it with the purple and it's not one of my favourite colours at the best of times! I ordered the Magnolia peacock paper online as I love peacock feathers but didn't realise it would be quite so purple in real life! Oh well, never mind!
I've coloured Tilda in a hurry with copics and added some stickles to the butterfly on her hat and the dragonfly. All the papers are from Magnlias Bon Voyage collection.
Now, I may not be happy with the overall card but I am extremely happy with my flower!! Did you see my Friday Flowers giveaway I posted last night? Some gorgeous Prima flowers, as always, and I looked at them and thought I could probably have a go at making a couple of the lace ones, and this is the result! Rather pleased, as buying flowers ends up quite expensive sometimes!! The button in the centre of the flower is from The Hobby House. The other flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts. The gorgeous fern leaf (behind the butterfly) was punched with a Leone Em punch by my lovely hubby as I can't punch it LOL! The butterfly border is a MS punch around the page punch. The butterfly was punched with MS Monarch butterfly punch, the edges inked with milled lavender distress ink and then stickled.
The gorgeous ribbon was recycled from a box of chocolates and the pearl button is from The Hobby House. Hubby had to help again as I needed the loop cutting off the back to make it flat to my card LOL! (He's going to want his name in my blog title at this rate LOL).
Hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us this week at Magnolia Down Under Challenge. The rest of my lovely team mates have made some gorgeous inspiration for you - pop over and have a look! x
