Midweek Magnolias - April Showers

Hello, Friends and Happy Wednesday! The Midweek Magnolias has a new challenge up for you and it is

April Showers

Check out the DT creations, they are all so lovely.

I’m keeping this post short as it’s been a long day for me and I am writing my post late. My card features the darling “Drip Drop Tilda.” I just couldn’t resist since she has April showers written all over her. She is colored in Copics and I added some Glossy Accents to her boots and a scattering of Viva Décor Gloss Gel drops for the rain. They are hard to see in the photo but look great in real life.

I used some cute papers from Jillibean Soup, really love these and they fit my theme perfectly. I did some machine stitching, distressing and used lots of die cuts for this little darling.

The inside is very simple with blank space for a personal message or sentiment.

Midweek Magnolias - Shabby Chic

Hello, Friends and Happy Hump Day! This week the Midweek Magnolias Design Team wants to see your “Shabby Chic” creations.

Pop over and take a look at the gorgeous artwork the Midweek Magnolias DT has created.

When you join us for the challenge you’ll have a chance to win a fabulous Mystery Prize from Magnolia Sweden.

My card started with a darling stamp called “Drip Drop Tilda.” She was a prize I won from my friend Chris who also posted a lovely card with this stamp here. Check out her blog as she is again offering candy just by leaving a comment.

Tilda was colored with Copics and I gave her a rainy day looking background. I mounted this cutie on a fancy Spellbinders die cut frame. My papers are from Magnolia and I used some new lacy trim I found at JoAnn’s a couple of months ago. That is so like me to buy something and several months go by before I use it.

I distressed, stitched and inked my DP panels for that shabby look. My cloud die cut was run through my printer for the sentiment. I have to give credit to my daughter for coming up with the verbiage after showing her my design. I added some black lace, vintage seam binding and bakers twine for the cloud tag. Then I attached a darling umbrella charm to the ribbon trio. I couldn’t wait to use this darling umbrella die cut from Memory Box and I cut it from white cardstock and some of the pattern paper. The fancy photo corners are from Whimsy Stamps with a rhinestone for a little bling.

I finished off the card with some flowers from WOC and a rolled rose and leaves cut with my Marianne dies.
