Magnolia-licious new challenge dt

Our fabulous new challenge on Magnolia-licious challenges is a color challenge this week and it is " Black and white + another color of your choice"  The color of my choice was purple as you can see by my card.  Whats up with that?  i dont normally do purple as i am a pink girl, but there you go, different day, different mood i geuss.
For my card i used Indian Tilda available from Magnolia-licious store where you get service with a smile, sadly lacking in South Africa these days, and speedy delivery i amy add from Diana's store
I added loads if pearls to this ensemble and star dust stickles, sadly i didnt take note of my copics that i used.
The inside of my card is as simple as the outside, but i really didnt want to hide all of this blingy patterned paper.
As this post goes live i am gearing up for a major accomplishment for myself, will share details later so watch this space.  Also if you have notcied i have finally hit 500 followers which i never imagined sould happen and i am alomost on to 90,000 hits, so watch out for a candy posting as soon as i have time to come up for air.
have a great week

    Paolo, beautiful choice for your other colour. I think of purple as royalty colour and it looks grand with B&W. Fabulous colouring as usual. Love all the pearls. I don't recognize the shape of your die cut--is that one of the Nesties?

    Hugs,
    Norma
