Magnolia DT card


Well, I will be the first to admit that this card is not quite my regular style. It is definitely simpler on the layers then I usually use. The supplies were all sent by Magnolia. The girl is from their spring release. The card itself is Bazzill, followed by SU Pretty in Pink cs, and then an uknown DP which acts as the backdrop. I colored the girl, tree and mushrooms with Copic Markers on Paper Trey Stamper Select CS. These were cut out and set aside. The tree was then stamped on the Designer paper, and the cut out tree went on top. The leaves were colored in on the DP. Sponging was added to the backdrop. I used Distress Ink. China Blue for the middle, Lipstick for the side edges and Shabby Shutter for the top and bottom. The dragonflies were stamped on DP and colored in. Girl was adhered, and then the side decorations of mushroom and Prima flowers. The leaves were fitted in last. The sentiment is from Paper Trey, and the stamp is Cuttlebug. Lastly Stickles and Spica was used to add sparkle.
Hugs,
Sophie

Lovely card! I love everything about it, color combinations, image and the coloring. I would've bought the dragonflies but they were too $$$ - now, I think I want to order them along with the tree lol! ;o)

A great card Sophia. The colours are so shiny and the tree looks like it is made of real birch bark.

Oh, but the coloring is so beautiful and I love the flower accents! There are so many nice touches on this even without a lot of extra dimension (which I know you love to play with!). Thanks for another pretty card, Sophie!
