Magnoila vs Stampavie challenge 16 - Lace and pearls

This week over on the Magnolia vs Stampavie blog the challenge is to use lace and pearls on your creations :), here is my take on the challenge :)




I am probably going to sound really big headed here but i don't care :), i love this card and its not often i can say that about my own creations, this card just came together perfectly for me and i had such a blast making it, even though i was and still am riddled with the cold, usually i spend ages picking papers and images etc but for some reason i knew exactly what i was going to do with this card, the gorgeous papers used on this card are from Designer Digitals and Pink Petticoat and the kits are called Asian Spring :) (Designer Digitals) and Big Bloomers (Pink Petticoat), i saw these gorgeous Designer Digitals papers being used on a fabulous creation by teamie Bev and just had to get them for myself :), the image i have used is the super cute Tilda in cross stictch dress which is another of my favourite magnolia stamps, i decided to try another technique on this card which i don't do very often and that technique was paper piecing, i paper pieced Tilda's dress with the same Pink Petticoat paper used on the scalloped circle, i love this look and i will definitely be using this technique allot more :), right i think i may have over ranted again sorry, List of materials used is below :)
