Purple Splashing Maggie


I really enjoyed making this card. I loved adding all the gloss and sparkle and I didn't even fall out with the gloss - it is still my friend!

Passion for Promarkers challenged us to make a background using promarkers, so I embossed some card with my Bigshot and coloured the flowers with Orchid and Tea Green promarkers.

I then used my new Heather Capsule Collection papers to make a patchwork effect base for the card and layered it all up using Papermania card and new ribbon. I also added an extra umbrella layer, trying to curve it like a real one, on the cute Splashing Maggie image. (Although today, Maggie would be needing more than a decent brolly here ....perhaps a boat? lol!)

To finish, I added loads of gloss and Stardust Stickles, which I love!

I'm entering the following challenges:
Passion for Promarkers - Create your own background
Little Red Wagon - Dry Embossing
Abc-Challenge - S is for Sparkle
Sketch and Stash - The lovely sketch I followed
Everybody Art - Paper patch
Stamp Something - Something layered
Totally Papercrafts - Spring (as in April showers)
Magical Crafts - Something for the Girls
Fab n Funky - No longer neglected (Splashing Maggie)
Secret Crafter - A Day Out - a very wet splashy day out today!!)
