Rag Doll


Hi everyone. No card from me today but here is the Rag Doll I have been making.
It is a long time since I did one of these and must say I enjoyed the change.

The body is made from Calico and all the clothing is 100% cotton. Lace and ribbon trim from stash.
Worst bit to do is the hair, it took me ages!

Thanks for visiting.
hugs

Just Magnolia


Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around but my telephone and internet went down and I have been without for nearly a week. I must say it is good to have it back today.
There was some problem at the exchange. It is surprising how much we rely on our computer for communications and how adrift we feel when not available.
Anyway, this is a card which I think fits the current challenge at Just Magnolia.

The image is coloured with distress inks.
Cardstock is Coredinations from the Elements pad.
DP is Kay & Co
Doily is a Marianne creatable.
Ribbon from stash.
Pressed flowers from local shop.
Sentiment is from LOTV
Most die cuts are Spellbinders.

I shall be trying to catch up with everyone now that I am back online.
