Hello how are you? This week i was able to make a card for the "Old Magnolia" challenge. Bea picked for this week cute Alva. I combined her with a background stamp from Stampin up. This background is nice and makes a fast card. :-) However after everything was layered down i just did not like the really dark black leaves. So i used some Shimmerz paint in "Candle Light" to lighten the leaves a bit up. A quick and simple way.
Stamps: Alva stitting
Background stamp by Stampin up (Fresh Cuts)
Embellishments: Stampin up ribbons, Shimmerz paint (Check out what CraftCritique has to say about Shimmerz!
