Halo Tilda

 

 Hi everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. I have a card to show today with the sweet Halo Tilda from the new Magnolia Sweet Christmas dreams collection, she's so cute! I've coloured her with distress inks, added lots stardust stickles and mounted her on a nestabilities die cut postage stamp card base. I made the background paper using mica mists and crumpled the paper while it was still stamp to get crinkly effect. The lovely sentiment is also from the Sweet Christmas Dreams collection and I've added little metallic studs and stickled star to embellish. 

It's the start of a new challenge on TOMIC today, my card was intended to be on the blog but I failed miserably in remembering my bingo line, so I couldn't add it :D! I hope you'll pop over to the blog for some gorgeous inspiration and to join us if you can.

I'm entering my card at the Corrisive Challenge blog where the theme this week is 'things with wings'.

Enjoy your day!

TOMIC 20 - Let's get sporty with a sketch

Hi everyone and here we are at the start of another TOMIC challenge. This week our theme is to follow a  lovely sketch by Liza and also to use a sporty Magnolia stamp on your creation. Hope you can join us this week!

I've used surf Edwin and teamed him up with Magnolia papers, DooHickey bunting die cuts and surf board die cut. Lots of pearl pen dots and copper nailheads and twine to embellish, I think I'm still hankering after summer with this card :)

TOMIC 19 - Magnolia Forever

Hi everyone, hope you had a good weekend. A new challenge starts today on TOMIC which is 'Magnolia for ever' and we have to use a sitting Tilda or Edwin and at least one DooHickey die in our creation. We hope you can join us this week.

I've made a tag this time using a sweet new Tilda from the fall stamp club kit and I've painted her and the whole background of the tag with distress inks. My doohickey element is the flower/snowflake embellishment and over on TOMIC there's a little step by step about this and how to use dies for those who may not have used them before.

Enjoy your day :).

TOMIC #16 - Sketch + Fall

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. It's a new challenge on TOMIC today and our theme is a lovely sketch by Liza and to make an autumn/fall  themed project  ( fall can be evocated by colors, word, themed stamps, leaves...), I hope you'll pop over to see the gorgeous cards my DT friends have made and to join us in the challenge.

This sweet Tilda with her umbrella was coloured with pencils, cut out and layered over the papers to follow the sketch. I added lots of stickles and pearl pen dots and coloured some ribbon to match the flowers.

Enjoy your day!

Sugar Sweet

Hi everyone! I didn't manage to join in on our current 'back to school'  TOMIC challenge so I thought I'd show a project that I submitted for the current Chocolate issue of Magnolia Ink which didn't make it in. I was lucky enough to have other projects appear so that's great and it's nice to show it on the blog instead.

All the papers are from Magnolia so I'm not sure of the brands but I think one of them is Basic Grey Lime Rickey. I used two very sweet Tilda's and the sweets accessory stamp which I coloured with markers and all the tags and chipboard letters were covered with papers or painted. The sweets were coated with glossy accents and I added lots of star dust stickles and doodling with black and white pens elsewhere. The lovely lace flowers are also from Magnolia and I think I need to find out who makes them as they're very pretty :).

Well, have a good week and I hope you can join us on TOMIC this time.

TOMIC #12 - Recycling

Hi everyone! Our new challenge on TOMIC starts today and this week it's a special challenge as it's Magnolia Ink Magazine's birthday. There's a special prize waiting for the winner of this challenge so pop over to TOMIC to find our more, I hope you can join us :)

Our theme is recycling as Magnolia Ink is produced on recycled paper and I've recycled a gift box that contained bath goodies. The box was first painted and on the lid I glued tissued paper that I stamped with the Magnolia Roses stamp and red Archival ink. over the top of the paper I added some crackle glaze, more paint, stickles, texture paste, angel fibres, metallic paste and pearl pen pearls. I stamped the sweet Magnolia Chinese Tilda onto a tag cut from watercolour paper and coloured her with distress inks before gluing to the lid with some flowers, Magnolia Chandalier crystals, punched butterflies and ribbon.

Enjoy your day :).

Magnolia Garden Tilda

Hi everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. It's the start of a new challenge on TOMIC today and the challenge is about masking. I hope you'll pop over there to see the gorgeous examples of masking from my DT friends and a lovely tutorial from Camilla.

I stamped the sweet Magnolia Garden Tilda and the Old Oak Tree masked together to make the scene and Butterfly dreams paper for  the background.

Have a good day today and thank you as always for your lovely comments, I always appreciate them.

TOMIC Challenge # 9 - make a round card

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed the weekend. A new challenge starts today on TOMIC and this week our theme is to make a round card. There's some wonderful inspiration from my design team friends, we hope you can join us and be in the with the chance of winning a gorgeous prize from Magnolia and being one of our top 5. 

I'v cut my round card from watercolour paper and continued my painted scene with Magnolia Explore Tilda right to the edge of the card where I've added a rainbow of eyelets all around the edge :). There's lots of stardust stickles and the 'wishing you rainbows..' sentiment which is now my favourite as it can be used for so many occasions. 

Have a lovely day today :)

TOMIC #6 - Make a Scene (dimensional)

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good weekend :). It's a new challenge starting on TOMIC today and this week the theme is 'make a scene (dimensional). As you'll see from all the gorgeous inspiration from my DT friends there are lots of ways to add dimension to a scene card and there's also a lovely step card tutorial from our lovely Tanja. I hope you can join us.

I've made a diorama card which is basically a box with valley/mountain folded sides. The advantage of the sides is that elements can be added at each level to create the dimension. I've used Edwin on his bicycle and Tilda with lace jeans which I've coloured with pencils. I used the heart swirl DooHickey die to make the trees branches, the DooHickey Lovely Fence and the Peony Petals die to make the fabric flower.

Have a good day today :)

TOMIC - challenge # 5

I've used the sweet Magnolia Tilda in rubber boots, she's coloured with pencils and cut out. My easel card was made using a nestabilities labels die, I've used the gorgeous DooHickey dies 'heart swirl branch', 'peony petals' and 'swirly butterfly' and one of the new Magnolia  6 x 6 pretty papers. There's lots of stardust stickles and some hand dyed ribbon and some rolled roses to decorate.

Enjoy your day :).

I've stamped the sweet Magnolia Tilda with bird for my flower shaped card and coloured her with markers. I stamped the circle under the image panel with a Magnolia flourish stamp using Distress Ink and all the edges are sponged with Walnut Stain distress ink. I've also added a DooHickey die cut fence, Sizzix Alterations die cuts and some hand dyed seam binding. My shimmer is from Stardust Stickles glitter glue and a spray of Pearl glimmer mist over everything and I have pearls at the corners.

Have a good Monday :)
