Playing on the Beach

Hello everyone, today I have a card to show you featuring stamps from the Magnolia Sea Breeze Collection 2013.

For my card I have used Playing on the Beach Tilda from the Magnolia Sea Breeze Collection 2013 and she is coloured with copics. I have added some glossy accents to the rubber ring for a bit of dimension and shine. The DP is from echo park and the cute sunglasses are made using a die from Noor Design. I cut them out twice, once in black and a second time in grey, then I cut out the hearts only from the grey pair to make the lenses. I then added glossy accents to the lenses to give them some shine.

Finally, an angled shot. The sentiment is from the Noor Design Summer Lovin' stamp set and I finished off with some ribbon and jewels.

In the Garden

Hello everyone, today I have a card to show you featuring some new dies from Noor Design. I am entering my card into Tilda's Town Challenge 52, they have a theme of something old something new (old stamp, new dies).

I used the dies to create a scene and I experimented with a different style rather then my usual one! I used the bench and cut this out of kraft card stock, I then distressed it with vintage photo for a bit of definition. the grass die is also by Noor design and I used my copics to colour it in. Finally, the lamp post was cut out of white card and again, it was distressed with vintage photo ink. I used Summer Tilda from the Lazy Summer Days Collection 2009 and she is coloured with copics and my sentiment is from papermania.

For the inside I used the fence die, distressed it with vintage photo and added a bit of twine. I cut it out twice and I layered the bird and the bird box up with foam pads for a bit of dimension. On the other side I created a pocket and cut out and embossed two of the frame dies to make tags to write sentiments on.

A closer look at the fence.

...... and the pocket side!

And finally, an angled shot!

Cupcake Challenge 229

Hello everyone, today on Cupcake Challenge 229 it is my turn to choose the challenge and I created a sketch. This week we are sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads and she is giving us a $10 gift certificate as a prize. I am also entering this card into Tilda's Town Challenge 39 where the theme is anything goes.

A few weeks ago I posted some cupcake toppers that I made for a baby shower, well my sister also asked me to make an invitation to give to her firend who is expecting. She doesn't know if she is having a girl or a boy so I went with a pink and blue combo once again. I was looking through my stamps to find an appropriate image and I thought this Magnolia bunny was perfect. He is called Bog Hoppy from the Magnolia Hoppy Easter Collection 2010, he is coloured with copics and I used antique linen and vintage photo distress inks to distress the edges and I finished it off with some stitching. The DP is from Teresa Collins and each piece was distressed like the image and stitched. The die cuts are a Magnolia DooHickey and the sentiment was computer generated. I finished off with some ribbon, lace and pearls.

For the inside I created the wording on my computer, distressed it with inks and added a Magnolia postage stamp to the corners from the Magnolia With Love Collection 2013. The DP is from the same Teresa Collins pad and I finished off with some blue ribbon.

Finally, an angled shot!
