This card was inspired by my good friend Melinda (aka Melinda80) and I have cased one of her earlier cards...we affectionately call her the "Queen of Magnolia's' as they are her specialty!
I finished this card today, it is another UFO which has sat around for ages...but no longer!!! I inked and distressed, added nail bling, faux stitched and generally fiddled. I feel that I have made it more my own with the touchs I have added!!! Oh and by the way, I actually water coloured this one...no chalks to be seen anywhere!!
Thanks for looking....I hope you like it, let me know - be kind, I am sleep deprived from feeding 5 puppies every 2.5 hours....they are adorable but exhausting!!

Wow- that just doesn't seem like enough to say- but WOW WOW WOW! Your watercoloring is gorgeous! Perfect shading and faux stitchery too! Nail bling, you kill me with that! I have to find some! (Acutally, I never heard of it til I saw it on your cards! Lol) I love the layout Linda- that circle is beautiful. Ok, off to look for a word that is better than WOW! LYMI!
