Just Magnolia Week 56

Ok so I have worked on this card for at least 6 hours!!  Maybe longer and yup I overdid it but it's for a special couple and a great challenge at Just Magnolia.  They've offered this sketch for this week and although it may be hard to see under all the embellishments, it's all there.  LOL!   I've used "Tilda and Edwin Get Married" bought from the Magnolia-licious online store and it's the first time I inked this stamp but I had a great time with it.  It turned out better then I had hoped!  Love it when a plan comes together!! 

I also used some amazingly beautiful flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Holi tolito them are niiiiice!!  Inexpensive and shipping is great! 

Stamps:  Tilda & Edwin Gets Married
Paper: Not sure but maybe Making Memories
Embellishments:  Kaisercraft pearls, Opaline Basic Grey pearls, Wild Orchid flowers, Floral Picks from Modern Romance, chipboard hearts from Maya Road painted with Adirondack Metallic Pearl paint then covered with Ranger Crackle and inked over, misc ribbon and silver & stardust Stickles

Sketch Saturday Challenge Week #103

Just a quick post and not much description but here's my challenge for Sketch Saturday.  Colored with my Copics and I know using this sketch it's somewhat hard to see all the layers as my image is quite big but here it is anyway!  Hope you like it!

FINALLY! My mojo's back!!

Today I have a card that includes 3 challenges.  I don't like to do too many cuz then I can't keep track of them when I put them on my blog.  LOL!!  I started by using a Stampotique stamp called (if you can believe this) "Relaxin". 

So starting with the first and newest challenge:

The Burtonesque Dolls - if you haven't seen this blog yet, please go visit.  It's really outside the box and I love it!  This week's challenge was to take any stamp and turn the card into a girl who could qualify to be in a Timothy Burton movie. 

Cute Card Thursday - asked for us to make the card for Someone Special.  Oh easy!!  My sister!!  She loved this odd stamp as much as I did and we bought 3 different ones together. 

Friday Sketchers for this sketch:

So here's my reveal!!  LOL!!  I also used chalks to grunge up the nice white

 lace and I  put gloss on her umbrella, hearts on her hat, her tie and her purse.

Hope you like it!
