Just Magnolia – Anything Goes with Sparkle

Wow, it’s our last special monthly challenge for 2010 – where on earth did this year go to?? Although to be honest I can’t wait to see the back of it, 2010 has not been a good year – roll on 2011.

So for this months special challenge which, as always, is sponsored by Heidi and her team at Simon Says Stamp, we are going with the usual theme of Anything Goes – but have added the option of Sparkle. Well we all need a bit of sparkle at this time of the year, especially with these dark, dreary days.

I got this adorable Tilda with Fir Tree from Shopbron. She is just so sweet. I coloured her with Promarkers (will update this post with the colours as soon as I find what I did with the post-it note that I wrote them on lol). There is a lot of sparkle on this card, but it’s not showing up very well in the photos. I slathered Stickles on the fir trim on her coat and hat, on the flowers and around the edges of the paper.

I have used yummy Websters Pages Waiting for Santa & Sweet Season combo 6 x 6 pack paper and done the old pleated lace trim again. I can’t remember where I got the stripy ribbon from, wish I knew as I need more lol. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts – I used 15mm roses, cherry blossoms, 25mm hybrid tea roses, 4mm rose buds and 8mm semi open roses.

I will be back later today with the Aquamarkers winner.

Hope you all stay warm, it’s still snowing heavily here (00.45am Friday morning as I am scheduling this post). I wonder if it is ever going to let up :o(

Thanks for stopping by,
