Hello,
I hope life is good with you today. I went out yesterday for the first time since I can’t remember when. Feeling so much better now phew! Thanks for all your wonderful support you all totally rock! Guess what I saw. Little shoots of spring flowers peeking up to say hello. So thrilled to see those little babies.
My card today features one of the yet to be released Magnolia images. I managed to nab her at the NEC last year. I have coloured her onto watercolour paper 300 gsm hp with distress ink pads. The background is distressed with antique linen and I have edged this and my other papers with vintage photo. The banner I have distressed with vintage photo and sprayed with glimmer mist. The letter stamps and heart are hero arts. Leaves are martha stewart punch and the little hearts are craft punched. These are all distressed with vintage photo.
I would like to enter my card into this weeks A Spoon Full of Sugar the challenge is layers.
Also, I would like to wish Magnolia all the best for their visit to this years CHA Winter Convention and Trade show in Anaheim! Just wish I could be there to indulge in all that Magnolia scrummyness!
Have a most wonderful day and I thank you so much for looking!
love kim x

Beautiful beautiful card Kim!! The image is adorable and I really hope she'll be released for the rest of us too soon! Love the distressed look and all the glitter you've added. You're so lucky to be seeing spring flowers now, here the snow just keeps coming down..
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Line
truly beautiful kim...so glad you are feeling better ...big hugs kath xxxx
Absolutely beautiful Kim.
Thanks for responding to my previous question! Just one more though - is there a particular brand you use or are all 300gsm hp's the same quality? I went to the Hobbycraft website but none of the papers stated if they were hp. Unfortunately we don't have a Hobbycraft near us otherwise I'd just go and look!!
Thanks
