Magnolialicious Challenge dt

I am soooo EXCITED! to finally share my news with you that Diana Crick from Magnolialicious has finally made all my dreams come true by asking me to be on the Magnolialicious challenge blog design team!!!  I have had to sit on this little gem of information for about two or three weeks now, so you can well imagine how i am feeling now to finally be able to share this news.  When i recieved her email, my husband didnt know what was going on, he heard me yelling and whooping upstairs, he came running like a bat out of hell to see what all the noise was about, i will give him his due as he made all the right noises when i shared the news with him, and of course being the man that he is, was very happy that i was so ecstatic.
Ok enough of me and on with our challenge, our challenge chosen by Tacey, is "PINK, BLACK AND RED"
Well must admit, not three colors that i have used together often.
And Diana is offering a wonderful gift certificate to the winner redeemable at the  Magnolialicous store
For my card i have used Ladybug Tilda from the Raising the ceilling collection, #374 on the inventory.  If she not in stock right now, i am sure Diana will have her back in the store soon and there is LOADS to choose from.
colored with my copics, and loads of stickles added.  I stitched around the card, but i seemed to be havng one of my days with my sewing machine as it just wouldnt stitch properly and eventually i just thought it would add a bit of character to my card.
I used one of my Hero arts stamps to add a few flourishes around the edge of my image, cut with nesties labels 14.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I have also used one of my MS punches border hearts, the hat pins, flowers, button, charm and flowers are all from my stash.
Please head over to the Magnolialicious challenge blog to check out what the rest of the girls have to inspire you for this weeks challenge and join in the fun.
Product details are listed on my Marvellous Maggies blog
have a great week

I was thinking of using this Tilda too for the challenge until I saw yours, then changed my mind...LOL. Oh, your colouring is fabulous. Those black pants of hers are awesome. I should take lessons from you in colouring in black--I suck at it. Love the glitter. Beautiful embellishments. Love your card!

  26. Hi, Paola! Congratulations on your DT position. To tell you the truth I'm not at all surprised. Your work is magnificent! You've surely invested lots of time and resources in your creations not to mention your incredible talent!
    Your cards are wonderfully colored and you have an eye for colors and shapes and tiny details. Gorgeous card this one too! I especially love the way you've mixed the color palette. This is a hard color challenge for me (to tell you the truth I don't like the color combo in particular) so I admire those who come up with something as beautiful as this.
    Have a great time in the team!
    Hugs, Iulia
