Magnolia Aussie Tilda - Thinking of You Card

Hi guys!

I have a card to share today, that isn't my usual style... If you follow me on Instagram, you've already seen it! But here it is none the less- 

I started out stamping the new addition (to my stamp family) is this Aussie Tilda, from Magnolia Stamps. I coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then did a dotty border around her... 

I then built my card up.... I grabbed some patterned paper from My Minds Eye, and doodle a border around it. The rest of the card was made up with lots of yummy bits and bobs from Alacraft! I used some lace, that is very similar to this one, then tied a little bow using this pretty satin ribbon in 6mm, I added a craft flower, this one is made out of polyster fabric, I think I'll be using these a lot... They add the real wow factor! I added a second flower, and a apricot button from my stash, as well as a decorative pin. 

I attached everything using this tape, which is perfect for paper crafting, as it doesn't lose it's stickiness like some can in warm/humid weather. I finished off my card with a trio of pearl embellishments above the main image panel. These ones come attached in a row, which is a great way to use them, but, I always trim them apart to get the most out of a pack!

Magnolia circle friendship card

Hi again! I'm back with this weeks Feeling Sketchy card, we're well on our way to reaching 200 likers (and a giveaway) on our Facebook Page so pop on over and keep up to date with what the Sketchettes are doing!
Here is this weeks sketch, which once again I stressed over, but as soon as I sat down to create, I loved!

Circle cards aren't something I usually make, because I don't have any envelopes to fit them :P Silly excuse really! Here is my card - 

I cut out a scallop circle out of white card and a regular circle from patterned paper (retired) from My Minds Eye, I think it was Quite Contrary range, although, I could be wrong.... I then set to colouring this Magnolia image with my Stampin' Write Markers and blender pen. She was actually really easy to colour! I tried a different colour combination for her hair too... Usually a blonde is So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and More Mustard, but, I wanted a softer, lighter blonde, so switched out the Mustard with Crumbcake. I love how her hair came out, as it either makes or breaks an image I've found! So, once she was all coloured up, I fussy cut her out, and focused on the sentiment circle, which is a Spellbinders Labels 10 cut out of white, sponged with Crumbcake. I went over Magnolias wings and the label with some tombow craft glue, and then while it was still wet, sprinkled a bunch of glitter over the top adding just a touch of sparkle to the card. 

We'd love to see you over at the Feeling Sketchy blog, so why not drop round and play? 

Magnolia "Relax" Card

Hello Again! Back today with the newest Feeling Sketchy post which should have gone live the same time this post does :) Don't forget to pop over to our Facebook page, and 'like it' as there will be a giveaway at 200 fans! Here is this weeks sketch -

And my interpretation - 

This is my first ever Magnolia card....! I coloured her using my Stampin' Write Markers and blender pen, and then cut her out. I used a Crumbcake base layered up with papers from My Minds Eye, and a Spellbinders nestie scalloped circle, and normal circle. I stamped "Relax" which is from Unity in Island Indigo ink and sponged a grounding for Magnolia. I layered everythin up, and then popped Liquid Pearls around her jewellery and the scallops. The butterfly punch is by Martha Stewart, and has been punched twice, once in patterned paper, and once in Vellum. 

Thanks for dropping around, and we'd love to see your creations over at the Feeling Sketchy Blog!
