Texture

Can you believe it is the end of April? Time for another great challenge over at Midweek Magnolias "Texture". You have one more day to help me celebrate my new DT position - I have celebration candy to share.




I really enjoyed creating my card! The dragon fly and butterflies were created with a stencil using Viva Ferro Metal Effect Color Golden Green. If you haven't tried this product you need to give it a go. I used Tilda with Big Ribbon. She was colored with Copic Markers - Skin E000, E00, R20; Hair E40, E41, E42, E43. Her dress, socks and bow were paper pieced with Maja paper. For dies I used Magnolia Doohickey So Wrapped Lovely; Cherry Lynn Butterfly and Martha Stewart butterfly punch.  To complete my texture design I use Kraft Flute paper, feathers, ribbon, flowers, wooden embellishment and decorative pins.

Thanks for stopping by I hope you will join our challenge this week!
