Just Magnolias - Sketch!

Hello and Happy Friday - Black Friday here in the US - The big shopping day after Thanksgiving. What am I doing?? Well I can guarantee you it is not getting up in the middle of the night to stand in a line in the cold to shop!! LOL  If things work out.. I will be crafting, maybe watching a couple of good movies. and leftovers of Thanksgiving for dinner - I have done enough cooking this week let me tell you!

So here is my card for Just Magnolias this week, it is a wonderful sketch - I will be using this one again :0) -
I started off by playing with the new Tilda Hugging - I just love her. And decided she was just perfect to do some paper piecing on. These are the Basic Grey Jovial papers I  used last week, and they were still on my desk - I am just really into the black and red Christmas right now. Serious drama and bold! I stacked up red and black card stock, and then added the gorgeous floral paper and sewed it all together. Following the sketch, I chose the dot pattern, red card stock and just the edge of the Jumbo Martha Stewart Border punch. Sewed again.
 The dot pattern was the perfect dress for Tilda so I stamped her and cut out her little dress. Love that! The rest of Tilda is colored with my copics - isn't she just too cute! I wanna dress like this.

 And then my flowers - I die cut the Heartfelt Creations Spellbinders flower, I didn't stamp the matching stamp on these this time, cuz I wanted to layer the red and black again, and then use some red and black stickles on them. Bold and basic - The leaves and branch punches are from Martha Stewart and I added some brown stickles to them, oh and the highlighting is done with white gel pen.

Hope you like it - and make sure to see all the DT cards with the great sketch at Just Magnolias Challenge and then join us for another GREAT prize! Man... sometimes I really would like to win the prize!! :0) LOL

Have a wonderful Friday and see you tomorrow for some Animal Crackers!
