When I get a chance I like to try the inspiration challenge at SCS on Saturdays, usually that day is very busy or we're out of town! The site chosen this week has beautiful glass beads, the problem with the IC's is that they can sometimes inspire you to go shopping too! :) Which I need to avoid right now.
Anyway, I wanted to make the magnolia in blue and another inspiration of mine, I have to say, was seeing Dawn Lusk's coloring, especially her leaves, I need to be more bold with my prismacolor pencils and not be afraid to lay down a little color! So I made more bold leaves, I hope!
This is for Faith's birthday, her birthday is today! But the sentiment says 'belated' because there surely is no way it will make it from my state to hers in time unless I hired a very large, very strong carrier pigeon!
Thanks for looking and have a great day
Stamps: Magnolia Wedding, Autumn Fun (sentiment)
Ink: black, blue for sponging
Paper: Melissa Frances DP, white, blue
Other: prismacolor pencils, gamsol, pearls, nestabilities 18 and 14, PTI impression plate, cuttlebug impression plate
The Saturday challenge on the Mark's Finest Papers blog is posted as well today and the challenge is monochromatic blue! This isn't completely monochrome, I just can't see blue leaves, but almost! Play along and you can win!
