Just Magnolia

Hi stampers, thought i wouldnt be able to come up for air there when i told you i was so sick, but you know what they say?  Well i hate to be a kill joy, so i dragged myself out of bed and decided that it would actually make me feel better to be doing something than wallowing in my juices.

On Just Magnolia this week they have a very simple sketch, but i love these kinds of sketches since it leaves so much room to play, you can over embellish or keep it clean and simple, which is what i did this time round.  You will also be pleased to know for those of you that are loving the new dp that i found recently i am putting you out of you misery since i remeber to take note:  It is Calambour, not sure if anyone else knows it.
I cuttlebugged my grey layer, dont remember which embossing folder, not a very old one, added lots of stickles, a few pearls. a lush wide ribbon and bow, colored my image with my copics and today i even remembered to list them.

Copics:  Skin: E00, E21, R20       Hair:  E57, E55, E53,
              Dress:  RV95, RV34, RV32, V000                         Shoes:  T0, T2, T5, T7
              Basket:  E33, E35, E37, E31                      Petticoat and waistband:  Yr24, YR23, 21
              Leaves G85, G82, G40                               Shadow:  W3, W0

  22. Oh Paola, I love your dainty card... you know I really love the hat pins and have some pins I use for corsage and so shall use them on my next card.. thanks for the idea... have thought of it, but keep forgetting them. But you will always be there to remind me.. I love the softness of the coloring and your border is amazing... wish you would get better... I guess I have to get on a plane... or send you some of my miracle home made chicken noodle soup... cures all ills...
    Love you,
    Jean
