Magnolia Friday

Bwahahahahahaaa!! Clever title, no? I started the week with a Magnolia card, I figured I may as well end it with a Magnolia card. And it's really hard to come up with cute titles all the time!!

I had the idea for this card in my head since I received the stamp, many many weeks ago. I finally had some time to put it on paper, but I was kind of rushed this morning so there are a few aspects of it I'm not fond of. But as a whole, it turned out okay.


I adore this skating couple! I knew I wanted to use the Basic Grey Boxer pad for the background, so I colored the image with the coordinating colors. The dark blue paper is Bazzill Bling, & the "ice" is Cryogen shimmery white, embossed with the Cuttlebug Swirls folder. I also added some glitter to it, because ice is sparkly, of course!! I also added some sparkle to the young lady's coat "fur", & the snowflake in the corner is sparkly as well. That came from Cheryl, who sent me a bunch of Marvy punchies before Xmas, so I could see all the different sizes. She was nice enough to have this one all sponged & glitterized, so she saved me some work!! Thanks, Cheryl!! I found some blue ribbon in my stash (I *never* have the right color, so I was doing the happy dance when I came across this roll) & called it done. I didn't want to add anything else, because this adorable couple is the star of the card!!

I tried to take another picture to capture all the glitter, but I don't think it worked so well....I'm having an awful time with my camera lately!!



I hope you all have a great weekend!! My kids have an early day today, so no work for me, & some errands & lunch at Culvers for the 3 of us!! There's also a school dance tonight, so it will be a long one! I will see you back here on Sunday for the High Hopes challenge!!
