I have finally made my first easel card….I admit to be being a bit behind everyone else in the blogging world… But this card needed to be extra special. It is for my cousin Monica and it is her 21st Birthday Party today. This card is going with a family gift.
I used these gorgeous DPs from the Kimberly Poloson range. I just love them! I followed the sketch from Magnolia Down Under Challenges. You may need to put your creative glasses on to see how I followed the sketch…it changed and developed as I made the card. But I did honestly have the sketch in front of me as I made the card and it was my inspiration and guide.
I used all Magnolia and SU stamps. The cardstock was Elegant Eggplant. I coloured with inkpads and aqua painter using varying shades of purple/mauve and Old Olive. I used Kindy-glitz on the key but sadly it did not sparkle much in the photo.
I would like to enter the following three challenges:
Magnolia Down Under – Sketch
Roses on Paper – Punch it
Cute Card Thursday – Dimensions
I hope you are having a relaxing Saturday,
Woo Hoo!!!! Love it Alicia! I have to admit they become addictive as you get to put som much extra yumminess on the bottom as well!!! Love the little scene, gorgeous colouring. I'm sure your cousin will love her card.. have a great time at the party (if you're going!)… xx
