I would have loved to use an image from the latest Magnolia Stampclub kit ... only its still sitting in Sweden ... they 'forgot' to send it to me:( hopefully it will be with me by the end of next week.
I watercoloured my image and distressed the background in milled lavender and broken china. I added white flower soft to the basket. I cut the circle part of the sketch to created a shaped front.
I added the sentiment and flowers and decorated the inside using matching papers and buttons threaded with ribbon.
Did quite well selling cards this morning - can buy a few more supplies!!I crafting friend set a challenge to make a curvy card with no stamping or decoupage on it ... first time I have ever made one of these and so I am surprised it worked as well as it has!!
I distressed the cardstock in milled lavender distress ink and then used a mask and rubbed over dusty concorde. Finally I spritzed it with frost glimmer mist.
Hmmmm might need to have another go at this!Have a great weekend.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Tilda with Lilacs; sentiment Papermania
Colouring Media:Distress inks
Papers:Basic Grey Wisteria
Embellishments: punched flowers, Hydrangea flowers, roses, buttons and ribbon from stash

Hiya Cathy,
I like both cards too :) The magnolia one is stunning though! I love the flowersoft on her flowers and the way you have coloured her. I hope you get your stamp club stamps soon. Where did you email to let them know as my set was missing one of the sentiments and I tried to mail them but they have not got back to me :( I have never had any problems with them before so not sure what has gone on.
Back to your card I love the way you have combine the challenges and the way you have interpreted this sketch is just brilliant!
Thank you for joining us ata stampin' for the weekend and good luck with all the challenges and with getting a lie in :D
