Pixie Cottage challenge dt

Hi all you crafty people, its time for our challenge on the Pixie cottage and we have a sketch for you this week, you can also enter by theme which is buttons this week.
I used both the sketch and the buttons theme, since it worked well together.   At The Pixie Cottage we also have some fab new images being released, and they will work with your darling little Magnolia stamps, how cool is that?  For my little ensemble i have used "At the corner, by Artish" available HERE.
I didnt realise that i had another grey and pink card just below this, so its gonna look like i have a new favorite color combo, he he, anywho so be it.
As per usual i have colored my image with copics:  Greys are W's, and the pinks are R85, R83, R81, Rv000.
I also paper pieced a few of the pieces of my background image and Tilda's shopping bag, to hold the color scheme throughout.  I did add a bit of shading to my pieced pieces so they wouldnt look flat.
This darling little Magnolia image is available from Diana's store where you can get loads of Magnolia stamps aswell as all the new little Tilda's to add to our ever growing collection.
Have a great crafting week
