Clean and Simple at Magnolia-licious

Hello, Friends. We have a new challenge for you at Magnolia-licious. This fortnight our theme is…

Clean and Simple

I’ll warn you now…“Clean and Simple” is not my favorite style. I love to load up on the embellishments, die cuts and frilly lace. So I decided to create something that has a little contemporary design such has the Chevron pattern as we have been seeing it in a lot of new pattern papers.

My card features “Teddybear Love” from the Princes and Princesses collection. I colored Tilda and her teddy bear with Copics and created grassland at her feet. I colored Tilda’s Teddy bear with a soft fuzzy technique for depth and texture.

My designer papers are Maja Designs from the Fika collection. I love all Maja Design pattern papers; they are so vintage and shabby chic. I cut several chevron shapes from my DPs, distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and layered them in an “unintentional” (OMGoodness, I didn’t have my ruler in the right place while gluing the segments. Woohoo!) slightly asymmetrical (Yikes!) pattern which actually created a little interest. I’m not unhappy with the way it turned out. LOL

Here’s a close up of this sweet Tilda with her fuzzy teddy bear. She always takes the stage.
