WE'RE BACK!! Magnolia-licious Challenge

Phew!  Doesn't it feel like we've been away for a long time?  How did you like how long you had for the last challenge?  hee hee

For this card I used 2 images from the Little Christmas collection "Dancing w/Stars" and "Little Tilda". I distressed many layers and added Stardust stickles to the edges. I see after I colored these that Diana doesn't have them in the store but if you're interested in them it's possible that she might bring them in. 

I used a Maya chipboard snowflake, covered it in Adirondack "Pearl" acrylic paint (dabber), let it dry and the add Liquid Accents and covered with Glitter Ritz "Warm Highlight" glitter.  Oooo so pretty especially in real life!! 

This is the inspiration photo from my great teamie Chris.  You can use a supporting color, and I've used a slight bit of green but still within the Copic "E" family and incorporating the browns, creams and greys.  Head on over to Magnolia-licious challenge blog to find some more gorgeous ideas.

And as usual Diana is offering a lovely gift package. 

 

Now I have a bit more information for you and then I'm done.  Long post today!!

Little Darlings - Hearts & Flowers

Today I'm showing you a card using an image from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  Why?  BECAUSE THEY ASKED ME TO BE A GUEST FOR JAN and FEB!!!  Doing the happy dance....da da daaa, da da!  

  Did you know LD now carries Saturated Canary rubber stamps?  There's quite a collection in stock including this cutie called "Valentine Petals" which comes with 3 super cute sentiments.

So this month Little Darlings Design Team Inspirations, are featuring hearts and flowers.  Right up my alley!

 I cut all 3 hearts using a few different Tim Holtz movers and shapers dies,  covered them with patterned paper and then distressed them.  The red hearts with a white bow were wood buttons from Prima that had a different pattern on them but didn't match so I colored them up using Color box chalk.  The black and white string is also from Tim Holtz.

Oh and of course I colored using Copics and then covered the rest with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.

Enjoy your weekend!!

I'm somewhat relieved this card isn't for a DT challenge because I wrote down NOTHING.  LOL!  No supplies list or Copic colors but if you do want anything let me know.  It's just a quick post because I really wanted to share this one. I love playing with those reds and browns.

I'm going to play along in the following challenges:

Midweek Magnolia's - Home for Christmas - Top 3

My last post before Chrismas so I just want to wish all of you Happy Holidays and all the best in the year 2013.  I'm so glad I get to hang around longer and play with all my friends.  LOL!  Sending hugs to everyone!!

Merry Christmas to the Dunbars!

I have been waiting and waiting and waiting to share but I wanted to make sure it got to the recipient first and FINALLY!  She may as well live in Alaska for crying out loud!  Ok I'm done buggin you Chris.  LOL!!  

Look at that!  I used my favorite winter snowflake punch from Tim Holtz.  The star was from Kaisercraft (I think), the little stars are from Southern Ridge Trading Company and I covered them with white acrylic paint and then with that Viva Decor stuff.  Oh and the paper is from Bo Bunny.  Thanks Buddie!!  If you click on the picture you can see the glitter on the ice better.  I had a hard time giving this card up.  LOL!!  But I knew it was going to a great home. 

I'm going to enter my card into the following great challenges:

Can you imagine having a birthday so close to Christmas?  I thought November was close enough!!  Well I hope you have a wonderful day and have fun doing at least 3 of your favorite things today.  Maybe more.  LOL!!  Enjoy!

 Another image I colored not too long ago from my sister's stash.  She is so stinkin' cute! 

 I've used lots of gorgeous embellies from Wild Orchid flowers, Southern Ridge Trading Company (the chipboard reindeer), rose ribbon and gorgeous Bo Bunny paper.  And don't you just LOVE that border?!  It's a new Magnolia Doohickey die called Christmas Lace and still available at Magnolia-licious. 

Just a quick post to share as I have quite a few more to share with you over the next few weeks.  I will get to share some of my latest Christmas creations as people should be getting them soon.  Yay!! 

Enjoy your day!
