Just how much pink is too much do you think - Just Magnolia Monthly challenge - Anything goes + Mojo Monday 163

Morning everyone I hope your all well and happy...right now there' a question for you...too much pink do you think...its time for our new monthly challenge over at Just Magnolia and don't forget anything goes, but the DT got the brief to use beads and wait till you see what the girls on the DT have made...wow.. I think but I'm not 100% sure that this Tilda is called Circus Tilda, I coloured her with distress inks and cut her out to sit on top of the bracelets...this fabulously sparkly paper is from My Minds Eye Laundry Line range and is called Flirty Play...I finished with a white ribbon and a few more beads just in case I didn't have enough lol...now how daft am I, I used the Mojo Monday sketch and forgot its contest week and I wont be able to enter my card unless some kind person wants to pop it on the challenge blog for me...pretty please...I hope you like it and have a wonderful day everyone

Good morning everyone and its the first Friday of the month so that means its a Just Magnolia Special monthly challenge and this month is a first for me, the Cracked Glass technique I have never tried this before but I got kinda addicted to the cracking and went way overboard I think lol...for those of you who haven't tried this before have a go what a brill technique it is and if your not sure how to do it here's a link for a great tutorial

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/cracked_glass/
but if you really dont want to try this technique you can do the Anything Goes option which from now on our Monthly challenge will be...I used this stunning couple I bought from Bunny Zoe's Crafts, its from the Wedding 2010 collection and is called Loving Bridal Couple, I coloured them with Distress inks which I thought might run when I did the cracked glass but it didn't at all...the amazing paper is from the Basicgrey Granola collection and is called Sunflower, I cut some of the large flowers out and layered them up to give a bit of dimension and added some of my fav lush cream satin ribbon made into a bow and scrunched up, Im entering this for the All Distressed challenge at Sir Stampalot, Stampin for the Weekend Shabby or Vintage challenge and the Fab n Funky material challenge...I hope you like it and will give the challenge a go either the Cracked Glass or Anything Goes option and when you have the time hop on over to see the amazing creations from the rest of our DT...have a fantastically happy day everyone
