Pixie Cottage #16....Flowers or Guest Sketch



Hello Everyone,
Today's Pixie Cottage Challenge is a super fun one! You can make a card using the fabulous sketch designed by this weeks talented Guest Designer, Jacque from Jacques Magnolia's .
Or you can simply make a card that features lots of flowers.... your choice!!!




My image, the lovely Hannah With Butterflies is the latest creation drawn by the talented artist Sandra Hammer. Hannah is colored in with Copic Markers and I lightly airbrushed the sky background for dimension. My design paper is a flowery piece from My Minds Eye, Quite Contrary Collection and the card stocks are Papertrey Ink and Bazzill. Embellishments used were Diamond Stickles, ribbon, Cuttlebugs Swiss Dots embossing folder, half pearls, flowers and Liquid Pearls.

For more information regarding this weeks challenge and for design team inspiration, please click here.
One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.

Have lots of fun with this weeks challenge!

My card also meets the requirements for the following challenges.......yep...I ♥ challenges as well! *ΓΌ*

    I love how you did the sky...but I mustn't wish for an airbrushing system; I've already got too much on my wish list. Thanks for joining Sew Many Challenges.
