On this rainy long weekend I decided to play along with Simon Says Wednesday challenge, "a bit of sparkle." I played around with my Altenew magnolia set. All the magnolia blossoms around here are just about done, so it is nice to keep them alive in paper form!
I embossed the flowers, stems and leaves in gold then watercoloured them in with my Zig markers, Peerless paints and Distress markers. I fussy cut them and popped them on a base sprinkled with some Heidi Swapp gold mist. I die cut the "you" from gold foil paper and stamped the sentiment in gold Delicata from a Simon set I hadn't used in a long time. A few Simon sequins finished it off!
thanks for stopping by!
Happy May 2-4!

Welcome to my special place for sharing all the good things in life: travel, recipes, favourite books, and of course scrapbooking! This blog is inspired by a twist on one of my favourite sayings. The 16th century proverb goes something like "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." Well I certainly think you can. Whether it is turning travel glitches into new adventures, creating a gourmet meal out of an empty fridge, and of course transforming bits of paper, ribbon and glue into scrapbooking masterpieces.
