New Challenge At Simply Magnolia..............Add A Sky!

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

We have a new challenge starting today at Simply Magnolia and this time our challenge theme is Add A Sky!

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is

Crafty Ribbons 

This challenge scared the life out of me. Lol!!! I have just about taught myself how to colour grass let alone a sky! 

I have had a go at masking too and for our challenge I have made a shaped card featuring Honey Bee Tilda from The Summer Memories Collection 2012 and masked her with Meadow Daisy also from The Summer Memories Collection 2012.
I know I bought the stamps in a sale but, I can't remember where?

Here is my card

I have stamped Honey Bee Tilda and Meadow Daisy onto neenah cardstock with Memento rich cocoa ink and coloured the images and sky with Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils.

I used 300gsm white Conqueror card to matt the colouring onto and inked the edges with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink.

For the shaped card I have used 300gsm white Conqueror card and GoKreate large frames frilly #2 from Cuttingedge crafts. 

The papers are Maja design Vintage Summer Basics from Live & Love Crafts. 

I have also inked the papers with tea dye distress ink.

The doily and lovely lace are from Ebay. You can find the lace HERE. 

The filigree corner is La-La-Land. I inked the corner with tea dye distress ink and adhered a 3mm white pearl to it.

The resin dove is from The Ribbon Girl and I have painted a little white Gesso on it.

The fence is Dohickey lovely fence and the dragonfly is also Dohickey.

I have inked the fence with tea dye distress ink and Frantaged the dragonfly with shabby white embossing enamel adhering a couple of 5mm pink pearls along the centre of the dragonfly.

The bee charm is from The Ribbon Girl. 

For the flower arrangements I have used small ivory gardenia, 20mm pink roses, pink and white tulips and white lilies from The Ribbon Girl. 

White Kort & Godt chrysanthemums from Live & Love Crafts and 15mm whie roses from 

Wild Orchid Crafts. 

For the foliage I have die cut Cherry Lynn pine branches and ink them with tea dye distress ink.

A close up of Honey Bee Tilda.

I have added ArtDeco glamour dust to her wings and adhered  a few 3mm white pearls around the image. I dotted Tilda's cheeks with a Inkssentials opaque white pen.

Inside the card is decorated with the design paper.

I would love to know what you think of the sky?
