Magnolia-licious Challenge - My Design Team Debut

Hello, Friends and Fellow Bloggers. I have some exciting news for you!!! I was invited to join the Magnolia-licious Design Team for the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. I can’t tell you how honored I felt when Diana sent me the invite. It’s like a dream come true.

 

So without further ado, Happy Magnolia-licious Challenge Day! The design team has some spectacular inspiration for you HERE and we would love for you to join us.

 

You could have a chance to win this $25 Gift Certificate if you participate by following the theme and rules.

 

 

This is the inspiration photo for our color challenge. The lovely wallpaper with pink flowers and green leaves inspired my color combo.

 

My card features the lovely "Tilda makes a Blueberry Blanket" from the Turning Leaves collection. This stamp is available HERE in the store. Diana has some of the best prices on Magnolia products plus you get 2% store credit with your purchase. The store has a vast selection of regular and mini size Magnolia stamps as well as cutting dies, papers and lots of other goodies. My personal favorite place to shop.

The designer papers I used for my Tilda cutie are from Kaiser Kraft. One of the papers has a large fancy frame so I used it as my card shape. I added some green wide webbed weave ribbon (say that 3 times fast…LOL) for texture. My die cuts are from Magnolia, Memory Box and Marianne Designs. I added some flowers from WOC and I am “in love” with these darling white Hellebores; you are sure see them on more of my projects. My pink sheer ribbon is from The Ribbon Spot and adorned with a pearl heart button from Michaels.

The inside of my card features some elements from the front and I created my sentiment on my PC.

Supplies:

Cardstock – Bazzill

DPs – Kaiser Kraft

Flowers – WOC

Dies – Magnolia; Memory Box; Marianne Designs

Ribbon – Stamp Simply Ribbon Store; The Ribbon Spot

Now, for a little extra excitement…Drumroll please!

I made a pencil holder and calendar desk set that I am giving away as part of a Candy draw in celebration of my new DT position.

I made this Desk Set from the NEW Score, Fold and Create Scor-Pal Project Book carried by the Magnolia-licious Store. As a little twist to the design I added a block calendar on the side instead of the original design. In the book the desk set includes a little drawer set for things like post-it notes, paper clips and other small desk trinkets. So I used the instructions to create the base of my block calendar instead. I just love this book as I’m a paper engineer at heart and love creating 3D projects. This is the perfect book for me and it inspires me to create other projects that I may not have thought about before hence, the block calendar.

For this project I used Autumn Tilda with Pencils for the front of the pencil holder. I colored her with Copics and I also stamped her with Pink Memento ink which gives her a softer look. But I had to go back over some areas of the image with my brown Prisma pencil to add back a few details as they tend to get lost in the coloring process.

For the side of the pencil holder I used Editor Tilda with the same coloring process.
 

As an added bonus I’m throwing in a couple of Magnolia stamps as part of the Candy draw.

They are:

• Mini Tilda Unanchor from the Mini Summer Memories 2012 Collection and she is paired with Mini Flip Flop Tilda in the store
• Didgeridoo Tilda from the Australia Collection 2012

All you have to do for a chance to win is:

1. Leave me a comment
2. Post a photo of my Candy on your Blog with a link back to this post

I will be drawing the winner before the next Challenge date in two weeks and will make the announcement on Tuesday, September 25.

 

I hope I’ve inspired you to join us for the Magnolia-licious Challenge. Thanks for popping in to visit and good luck in the draw…
