Sunday inspiration at Live and Love Craft

 Hi Bloggers!

I want to show you a note pad holder I made for today's inspiration over at Live & Love Craft Inspiration and Challengblog. I think it is a great gift idea! You can find the tutorial on the very talented Mariannes blog.  I used the lovely Pion Design papers, they are so pretty I hardly needed any other decoration at all (no c&s thinking here, lol). 

 I used both sides of the gorgeous Pion Design's  Poem of Spring sheet from the Fairytale of Spring collection.  I distressed all the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.

I used Magnolia Doohickey's (dies): The The Heart Swirl and the Doily Flowers. Also, behind the image is the Scalloped dotted lace die. I got those adorable charms on eBay ages ago, the cat and the cow *so cute*.

I colored the Magnolia image with distress ink pads to get that soft feel to it. 

I used: 

Skin: Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen

Greens: Peeled Paint (gloves and head-thing)

Blue's: Faded Jeans, Stormy sky (jeans, shadow)

Red/on: Fired brick, Wild Honey (carrots and reddish)

Browns: Brushed Condoroy , Walnut Stain(shoes and ground)

For the shadows: Black Sooth

Hope you like it! 

Wishing you a fabulous Sunday!

Hugs,
