Snow Hearts for You!

 

 

Hi All! Today marks the start of a new Stamp and Create with Magnolia Challenge and this time our theme is Hearts.  Tilda has been out playing in the snow that Mother Nature saw fit to deliver us the other day and she has come up with a Snowheart to share with you.

 

 

I have played around with my Distress Ink pens and a water brush, a medium that I have not used often. After a couple of attempts I have even managed to create something that  I felt comfortable putting on a card.

 

Once my image dried, I added some Stickles, Perfect Pearls and Liquid Applique to add some dimensional detail. The papers are some oldies but some goodies that I found in my stash. I now have a card that is ready to pop in the mail.

 

I hope that you will join us for the challenge, Lacey is kindly offering one lucky participant a chance to win 1 free Magnolia Stamp of their choice. Be sure to stop by the challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has created to inspire you.

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

Clean and Simple

  I have two quick posts this evening as I am playing catch up tonight. The first is for the current challenge at Stamp and Create with Magnolia where the theme is Clean and Simple.

 

For my card I've used  Lovleypop Tilda which I have stamped and coloured directly on the card. I knew that I wanted to add a little pennant to embellish but it looked a little blah all by itself so I've diecut the Magnolia cloud and used it as a mask to add a few clouds with Distress inks. A sweet birthday sentiment matted and  mounted with pop dots finished it all off.

 

Be sure to join us with your own creations for a chance to win.

 

Prize:

Stamp and Create carries a wide range of Magnolia stamps at some of the lowest prices!

 

Some Bunny Loves You

Good Morning, I hope you are all well.  I have been away on a little vacation and did not get any cards done up in advance so my blog has been a little empty lately.

 

I am here today with a card for the new challenge at Stamp and Create with Magnolia.  The challenge this time around is to use 2 images. It can be an image with two people, two separate Magnolia stamps or Tilda/Edwin/Animal with a background but Magnolia Sentiments do not Qualify

 

 

For my card I have masked sweet Tilda and her Bunny with an older Magnolia fence background. The image has been coloured up using Copics to create a lovely spring scene, pretty soon we will have some lovely days like this too I hope.

As the image is rather large I kept the layout simple but I have gone a little over the top with the springtime embellishments.

 

I hope that you will us over on the challenge blog with your own wonderful creations.

 

A Royal Summer Birthday

Good Morning. Here in Canada, it is the Friday before a long holiday weekend and I must say that I am certainly looking forward to it. The weatherman says that it will be sunny and not too hot which means that it is just perfect.

 

Today is also the start of a new challenge at Stamp and Create with Magnolia. This time around, the theme is

Summer Royalty
Princess, Prince, Queen, Jester images. 
If you don't have a "royal" image, you can use Royalty colors: Red, Purple, Gold, Dark Blue

 

Prize:

Stamp and Create carries a wide range of Magnolia stamps at some of the lowest prices!

 

For my card I have coloured Jester Tilda which is currently available in the shop. I coloured her up in Royal colours of red and purple with touches of gold and did not give much thought to paper until I was done.  Fortunately a few weeks ago I had picked up the Soleil paper pad from Basic Grey which matched the image perfectly.

 

As I was going for a Royal feel I thought that this card should be properly embellished. Lots of flowers and a diecut frame for the mat added just he detail that I was looking for. A simple sentiment on a little banner finished it all off.

 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to have some time to be back again with something else to show you over the weekend. Until then have a great day!

Lets Get Wet at Stamp and Create with Magnolia

Good evening, I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend. I have just come home from the city after having gone with my mom to see the musical production of Cats. I had always wanted to see this one and it was wonderful. If you get the chance to see it I would recommend that you go.

 

Tonight I am here to share with you the card that I have made for the current challenge at

Stamp and Create with Magnolia which started yesterday. The theme this go around is

Lets Get Wet

 For my card I have used Pearl Tilda which Lacey currently has in stock in the store. I have masked her with the oyster shell and then coloured her up to match the watery blues of a card base that I had put together some time ago.

 

 These two images combined make up a rather large image and they easily became the focal point of the card which allowed me to keep the embellishments to a minimum. I have added only a simple shimmery bow and a resin corner which reminded me of the surf to finish it all off.

 

I do hope that you will join us with your own watery creations. There have been so many wonderful watery Magnolia images and I look forward to seeing what you create.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
Ribbon Girl - Add a Bow
