New Challenge At Simply Magnolia.........................Anything Goes.

Good afternoon, crafty blogger's.

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

Anything Goes.

We want to see your cards/projects or anything crafty as long as it features a Magnolia image.

our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is;

The Rubber Buggy. 

For our challenge I have decorated a recycled notebook featuring Sagittarius Tilda.

She was a surprise gift from my super bloggy friend.

I am blessed to have such a super friend.

I decorated a recycled notebook a couple of years ago for a friend when I was on the design team for Teddy Bo. Tina has made a couple which inspired me to decorate another.
 Sagittarius is my star sign so this one is mine for keeps.

I hope you like it?

I have die cut a Spellbinders floral oval with Neenah cardstock ans stamped Sagittarius Tilda from the Zodiac 2014 Collection onto it with Memento rich cocoa ink.

I have coloured Sagittarius Tilda with Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils.

I have inked around the edges of the floral oval with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink and surrounded the image with Frantage shabby white embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts. 

I bought the recycled notebook from my local Wilkinson store.
I have applied white Gesso around the edges of the notebook and matted gorgeous Maja Design Sofiero papers from Live & Love Crafts onto 300gsm white Conqueror card.
I distressed the papers with a Tim Holtz paper distresser and inked around the edges with tea dye distress ink.
I adhered white droplet Venise lace from The Ribbon Girl to the side and bottom panel.
The lace across the centre of the bottom panel is from my local haberdashery shop.
The white doily is from Ebay. I have adhered 3mm white pearls to the doily.
The metal corner is from Live & Love Crafts. I have Frantaged the corner with shabby white embossing enamel.
I have placed cheesecloth behind the image.
The butterflies are Memory Box Isabella and Pippi. I die cut Isabella with the design paper and cut Pippi with white card. I have Frantaged Pippi with shabby white embossing enamel.
I cut the centres with the design paper.
I have adhered pink 5mm pearls on the book.
I have tied lengths of 15mm pink organza ribbon and  10mm satin edged organza ribbon to the notebook spiral.
The ribbons are from Fantastic Ribbons. 

The flower arrangements consists of 30mm wild rosesnd 15mm white roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

20mm pink roses, white lilies and 20mm pink roses from The Ribbon Girl. White Kort & Godt chrysanthemums from Live & Love Crafts. 

The white tassel is from my local haberdashery store.

A close up of Sagittarius Tilda.

I have added ArtDeco glamour dust to Tilda's bow and frill on her dress.

I dotted her cheeks with a Inkssentials opaque white pen and added Ranger white liquid pearls to the flower in Tilda's hair.
