Hi everyone, I have a card for Magnolia-licious challenge blog today using another stamp from the gorgeous Penny Black 'Mimi's Winter Friends' transparent set. This cute Mimi is coloured with watercolour markers and a bit of pencil here and there.
The background is water coloured and and I've added a stamped border with the poinsettia garland from the set. There's a bit of smudged black outlining of Mimi and the garland and I've added a sprinkling of snow with Frantage shabby blue embossing powder and stardust stickles. The card base is coloured to tone in with Ranger Distress ink in iced spruce. My decorations are die cut glitter card tiny snowflakes and sentiment, holly leaves and some pearls, lace and a flower.
As always there's lots of fantastic inspiration from my team mates over on the challenge blog through each week. Enjoy your day!

Your card is gorgeous Chris. I love how you've coloured your image and the subtle black smudged outline really makes the image pop. I love the overall soft affect. Love your card.
absolutely breathtaking Chris!
Chris
could you tell me how you apply frontage? do you use versamark or do you just sprinkle it over the paper and add the heat from below?
I just got Frantage the other day but cant make it really look good.
Thanks girl

Oh my gosh! Your stuff is gorgeous! I love your coloring and how distressed everything looks. This card is so cute and I love the "layers" of ink, stickles, frontage, etc. Beautiful, beautiful!
