Its a Girl Thing - 2 cards for the Girls



Just Magnolia Challenge

We are sponsored each month for our Special Monthly Challenge by Simon Says Stamp and this month Heidi has made the prize extra special. Just check out all this deliciousness!!



And now on to this months Special Challenge. It's a special time of the year and we all have special people in our lives so what you need to do to qualify for the amazing prize is make a card for Someone Special. That's it - nice and easy at this busy time of the year. The winner will be chosen by Random Generator next week so to be in the running all you need to do is ensure you have at least one Magnolia image on your card and link your card (not your blog) in Mr Linky and have your card posted by 10 pm UK time next Thursday 10th December.

Back to my Green Phase again for this weeks card, To get the shade of green I wanted I mixed the Peeled Paint an Pine Needles Distress Ink together I am so pleased with the results, the other Distress Inks used are Worn Lipstick, Vintage Photo, Black Soot, Vintage Photo, Tea Dye, Frayed Burlap and Tattered Rose. I have added lots of Gold Glimmer Dust to the image. The Large Rose is from Tabby Crafts and the smaller roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, I have sprayed them all with Dew Drop Glimmer Mist and painted Liquid Pearls around the edges, the lovely Gold Ribbon is from Bunny Zoes Crafts and the sentiment stamps is by SU.





Wags'n Whiskers Challenge 5

I have used the lovely Wags'n Whiskers design Ansleys Surprise by Crissy Armstrong, available from Bunny Zoes Crafts. She has been coloured with Copics the fabulous papers are again from Magnolias Christmas Collection. The Flowers are from Tabby Crafts and the Spacers and brads are from The Hobby House, I have coloured the Pearl Brads with Copics to match the image. I am so pleased with the colours on this card

These are both gorgeous Jacqui! I lvoe your coloring of both sweet images and your layouts. These are stunning!! I am hooked on distress coloring but where do you get your inks and your paper from. I have yet to find that green and my watercolor paper is always cream instead of white. You are amazing my dear!!
hugs,
Chris

Jacqui both of these cards are amazing. Your colouring is just as beautiful using both the distressed inks and your copics. I need to buy some of these inks and try them out. I love the colours & the Vintage look with all the glimmery goodness of your Maggie card and the Wags & Whiskers card is such an adorable image and wonderfully coloured. Thanks for the inspiration.
