Marvelous Magnolias - Your Favorite Stamp

Hello, Magnolia Friends!

I’m back to share a new DT card for the Marvelous Magnolias October challenge. This month our theme is…

“Your Favorite Stamp”

Our fabulous sponsor this month is Magnolia Sweden.

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 papers are from Maja Design’s “A Gift for You” collection paired with Bazzill cardstock. I also used one of the sweet Santa cutouts from the collection to enhance my sentiment tag.

I used lots of Magnolia DooHickey dies and sprinkled my poinsettias with Diamond Dust. I covered Tilda’s dress and hair bow with some clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.

Here’s a close up of Tilda colored with Distress Inks.

Challenges:

Fussy and Fancy - Bingo Flowers Lace Pearls

LHOSM – Flowers

Noor Design - Fussy and Fancy

A Snowflake Promise – Anything Goes

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.

Here’s a close up of Tilda colored with Distress Inks. I also coated her frame with Diamond Dust glass glitter for sparkle.

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.

Challenges:

Craft-Dee Bowz – Anything Goes include a handmade bow

Simply Magnolia – Anything Goes

ABC Challenge – O is for Open (Anything Goes)
