Just Magnolia challenge


This is a card that truly is prettier in real life... but you get the idea. Ok now that I look at it, I realize the hair needs work. I will fiddle with it. I am terrible with hair...I always see how others do those highlights in the front but mine just look faded... I did it with pencils but it needs help.. I need to get some dark grey and black copics- don't have those yet....I need a white or something to try...I wanted black hair but thats the hardest I think to do. I need to watch some tutorials on that and try again soon. Oh well. Someone will like her- and if they don't well I won't know that!! :) I am so self-critical and self-conscious about my stuff....

The challenge this week was to use embossing somewhere on the card. I embossed a panel of white sparkly paper with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.

The base is Neenah c/s
Shimmer white - got it in a swap- not sure of brand
DCWV dp
Offray pink ribbon
Prima daisy flower
? rhinestone
Colored with markers of all kinds and prisma pencils
stickles on wings

Very lovely card- and yes, coloring hair is hard! Sometimes, I get lucky. The copic gods smile upon me :)
