so Beautiful Star!

Hello everyone! How are you all today? It is so cold here recently in Japan.
Isn't it lovely to be able to say hello all at once to everyone around the world! :)

Today I have two projects to share with you. The first one is a card I've made with one of the new stamps from Magnolia. I've coloured with Distress Ink Re-inkers.
This gorgeous image is called "Beautiful Star" from the Little Circus Moscow Collection 2013.

So, is it horse? Or pegasus?? I actually think its pegasus with pretty wings. I actually should say my obsession with horses, unicorns and pegasuses. I've always loved them .. ever since I was a child. And basically ANYTHING with them on gets me excited, lol .. but I absolutely LOVE this one!!! It is soooo cute and awesome, isn't it?

I've also used 3 of the newest release DooHickeys. The beautiful keys are made with one of them "Key Kit". Other DooHickeys I used are Snowflake kit, Wrapped Merry Christmas and Feathers. They are all so gorgeous!

Papers: Magnolia

I've used 32mm 'Isabelle' White Vintage Style Cluny, 15mm Mermaid Ivory Ribbon, Ivory 10mm Open Rose, Ivory 30mm Wild Roses, 3 Stems Irridescent Hearts, Light Brown Hemp Twine, 6mm Sticky Tape, Stickles Stardust all from the fabulous Ribbon Girl store.
