Midweek Magnolias - Winter

Happy Hump Day!

“Winter”

Join us for the challenge following our theme and rules and you could have a chance to win a surprise from Magnolia Sweden.

My card features “Ice Tilda” from the “Aspen Holidays” collection. I colored Tilda with Distress Inks, fussy cut around the image and adhered it with fun foam. My designer papers are from Bo Bunny Woodland Winter collection along with Bazzill cardstock.

I die cut the winter background scene from the DooHickey Club kit Volume 7 out of a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangular frame. I also die cut a Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrop from blue cardstock for my evening sky. The icicles are also from the DooHickey Club kit Volume 7 with a coat of Glamour Dust and diamond wrap trim. My snowflakes are from Carta Bella also coated with Glamour Dust and the tags are from the new Magnolia Vintage Box Volume 4 with bakers twine. And finally, I added a cute Ice Skate die cut by Marianne Designs with Weathered Wood distress ink on the embossed details.

Here’s a close up of Tilda. She was so fun to watercolor.

My card features “Divine Tilda” from the "Waiting for Christmas" collection which happens to be one of my favorite Magnolia stamps. Isn't she divine?

My card features “Christmas Caramel Tilda” from “A Lovely Christmas” collection. My designer papers are from Doodlebug Design’s Sugarplums collection paired with Bazzill cardstock. I stitched all of my DP panels and added Magnolia Antique Lace trim on one panel and Teeny Tiny Pompom trim along with diamond wrap on another panel.

I created my little gumdrop banner by drawing a template on white cardstock and added Glossy Accents sprinkled with Doodlebug sugar glitter. Once they were dry I cut them out and glued them to some silver baker’s twine for my banner.

I had some cute Christmas cookie cutter embellishments in my stash that I added and I cut some candy canes from my La-La-Land die. I added a few flowers and vintage seam binding then finished off the card with a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps.

Tilda with Daisies and Mushrooms

Hello, Friends! I know it seems a bit early but I had to start digging out my autumn stamps because our mornings are getting brisk here in Colorado. Autumn is very close upon us so I felt an urge to make a fall themed card.

I decided to color Tilda with Daisies and Mushrooms from the Turning Leaves collection. I used some pretty Maja Design papers that I have in my hoard stash. These are from the Walking in the Forest collection. I still have several sheets left to use for some scrapbook pages and cards. I also used Bazzill cardstock, my favorite, for the card base and some of the die cuts.

I’ve been coloring with Distress Inks more as well because it’s very relaxing. I need to work on my backgrounds a bit to get them smoother and I like to use darker shadows to really make the image pop. You are sure to see more DI coloring from me.

I still love my Copics but I can color an image in half an hour so it is not as relaxing. DIs take me a bit longer and it helps to reduce stress.

Here’s a close up of Tilda.
