Flower Or Cabbage


It's that time of the week again so it must be time for the new
This weeks theme chosen by Francesca is a sketch.

We have 3 sponsors this week they are
Crafters Companion with a £10 voucher
Digi Darla with 5 digi's of your choice
Whimsy Stamps with 5 digi's of your choice 

That's a real incentive to have a go and enter your card cause you never know .

For my card this week I have chosen to do a Magnolia Tilda again. From the title of this entry I think she is supposed to be holding a flower but I think it looks a bit like a cabbage. Sorry. The colour was influenced by a piece of lacy material, which I brought from the NEC in March, which is browns and blue's in colour. The orange background paper just seemed to show the colour up perfectly so that was What I went with and coloured her to match with Tria pens.


I have put a length of blue ribbon and cream lace behind the image, a small doily distressed with Broken China and added some matching flowers and some punched out leaves in the top left corner. I have put a ribbon bow in the bottom left and a stamped and embossed birthday message in the bottom right. Not a usual colour combination but I think it looks ok.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Paper Pretties - Flowers
Truly Scrumptious - Distresses and diecuts/punches
Deep Ocean - Diecuts/Punches
Oldie But Goodie - Punches (leaf punch)

  3. If you had coloured it green, I would have said cabbage but I don't fancy an orange cabbage!
    This is a pretty card, I love the blue and orange colour combination.
