Basic Grey Challenge

The theme for the Basic Grey Challenge this time is
Sparkle.

We are sponsored by



I coloured Tilda in using my pens before cutting her out using my nesties.  The image, dp and cardstock were liberally distressed using my TH paper distresser, and then inked up with brilliance white ink.  Having embossed a panel of the dp I stitched all the papers.  I diecut the flowers and added stcikles to them before layering up.  The ribbon is layered white and blue organza, and I tied a fussy bow, adding a button to its centre.  Finally the pearl swirl and sentiments were added.

Supplies: 
Image:Magnolia Winter Skatig Tilda, LOTV Christmas Sentiments
Colouring medium: promarkers and flex pens
Papers: Basic Grey Blitzen, SU Crumb cake
Embellishments: organza ribbon, stickles, pearls , button
