TOMIC Challenge 53

Hello everyone, it is our 1 year anniversary today over on the TOMIC Challenge blog and it is my last challenge as a TOMIC DT member for a while.....I am expecting a baby in September and I have chosen to stand down for the next 6 months at least to give myself a break. For this special challenge we have a theme of anything goes and we have lots of prizes for you.

For my card I have used Edwin in Miami from the Magnolia Summer Memories Collection 2012 and he is coloured with copics and highlighted with glossy accents. I have also used the Memory Shells and the Have a Sunny Day Sentiment from the same collection. I used my new Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles dies to cut out my image and while it was still in the die I sponged broken china and antique linen distress inks onto it to create the background. My DP is from DCWV and I finished off with some ribbon and jewels.

TOMIC Challenge 13

Hello everyone, this was my project for TOMIC Challenge 13 that I have just realised didn't post when it was scheduled!!! We have a theme of back to school + metal and once again one lucky winner will receive a surprise package from Magnolia.

For my project this week I have created a simple notebook. It was really easy to make....I just cut some A4 printer paper to make the paper stack inside and I stapled it together. I then used some pink ribbon to hide the staples and I applied double sided tape to the back piece, then I stuck it down firmly to my pink card base.

To decorate the front I used Summer Tilda from the Magnolia Lazy Summer Days Collection 2009 and I coloured her with copics. The DP is also from Magnolia and I used a Joy crafts Embossing stencil for my embossed panel. The punched edge was done with a fiskars punch and I used some cuttlebug dies to make the "notes". A pink satin ribbon ties the book closed and I finished off with a metal corner and some jewels.

TOMIC Challenge 12

Hello everyone, today over on TOMIC Challenge 12 we have a special challenge for you. It is the birthday of Magnolia Ink Magazine and as it is printed on recycled paper we would like to see something recycled on your cards/projects.

For my card I recycled some dictionary pages from an old english/spanish dictionary.



So onto my card.... I have used Tilda Writing Diary from the Magnolia Right Through My Heart Collection 2010 and I have coloured her with copics. The DP is also from Magnolia, the something old, something new collection, and I have stitched on a piece of a dictionary page. All the elements were sponged with antique linen distress ink and edged with walnut stain.

The seam binding is from wild orchid and I coloured it using antique linen and walnut stain inks so it would match my card, and I tied a double bow using my bow easy tool. The flowers and pearls are also from wild orchid and I finished off with a little silver stickles along the hem of her dress.
