When trying to decide which Magnolia I wanted to use this week, the roses with this Tilda just jumped out at me, then the light bulb went off and I remembered this rose paper from K&Company's Cut and Paste collection. Then bam... it all came together! I colored Tilda with my copics, then matted her on the red card stock I used for my card base. The pattern papers are all from one sheet of the collection, I just cut a couple of sections off, then matted with scrap olive green card stock. I sewed everything down with a blanket stitch with a deep red thread, then attached it all together - Because the image, and the papers were so bold and busy I decided that it really did not need any other embellishments... The thread was bold as well - and since it was the challenge I wanted it to be a focus ;0)
The sentiment... are you getting tired of these Cloud 9 epoxy stickers? I hope not cuz I got a bunch more of them! They were on sale, and well I just love the sayings - plus hey they are easy! I just stick them to a piece of card stock and cut around them, and they match! How perfect was this saying for this card? I love it!
Make sure you take a look at all the DT cards at Just Magnolias... wow these girls rock! and so many different ways to bring stitches to the challenge! And the prize again is a winner!
Hope you have a great Friday....
