Woo-hoo...it's Friday! Weekend coming up and it's also time for a new challenge at Fancy and Fussy Friday Challenge Blog. Beate is our hostess for this Challenge #84 and she has chosen the theme Flowers.
I was in the mood to use my coloured pencils, so that's what I've done here. When I do colour with pencils, I don't bother taking notes of what colours I used--too much trouble!!! LOL. My coloured pencil collection is a mixture of colours from Prismacolor Premiers, Faber-Castell Polychromos and Art Grips, Derwent Coloursofts and Cretacolor Marinos.
Oh, I did use a couple of alcohol-ink based markers to dot the background though--discontinued Letraset Pantone Tria very light blue markers.
This adorable Magnolia image is of Tilda With Big Tulips from the With Love Collection 2013.
This is an older Magnolia image called Tilda With Pony Tail and she is from the Sweet Rainbow Collection 2011.
Both of these images are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store. Diana has a vast collection of other Magnolia stamps as well--both full-size and mini ones. If you don't see the particular one you are looking for in the store, contact Diana and ask her if she can bring it in for you.
And newly available at Magnolia-licious are those wonderful Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet.
Not only are you being offered discounted prices and excellent services, you also get to earn 2% in-store credit with every purchase! Cool.
Don't overlook the selections of cutting dies from Magnolia, Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Marianne Design, Cheery Lynn Designs and Joy! Crafts.
