Shop til you drop

 Happy October Everyone,

Wow, I don't know where September went, I'm sorry I haven't been by to visit your blogs or replied to any of your wonderful comments, I've been in and out of hospital and will be for the next few months. My blogging will have to take a back seat for a while, but please know, I will be back and I thank each and everyone one of you for taking time to visit.




Even though I haven't made any new creations, I've been colouring images, just no mojo or energy to make cards, hopefully October will be a better month. Anyways, this card has been in the works for a while and I eventually got the photo taken.

The stamps are from Magnolia's Bon Voyage Collection - Tilda goes Shopping & Boutique Window. I love to shop as most girls do, so I couldn't resist these adorable stamps.





For dimension I made a Shadow Box Card (here is a tutorial). I stamped the Boutique on acetate to represent the window, and of course I had to have the new Tim Holtz embossing folders when they first came out, but this is the first time I have used the brick embossing folder, perfect for these stamps and smothered the bricks with crackled paint, added a diamond & pearls swirl a gift from the gorgeous Stephanne. My Boutique is a very high end jewellery store, and certainly wouldn't look out of place in Hollywood's Rodeo Drive.



Stamps: Magnolia's Bon Voyage Collection - Tilda goes Shopping & Boutique Window
Copics: Skin E00, 000, 11, R20, Pinks, R83, 81 & R000, Blues B93, 91 & Hair E31, 30 & 25
Other: Magnolia Designer Paper & Doohickey Tilda Lace, Border Punch for Awning - EK Success, Ribbon - May Arts, Crackled Paint (Picket Fence) Ranger, Watermark designed by Heather Rolin.

It's so nice to see you and your beautiful creations again. I can understand it when you say you lost your mojo, 'cause it happens to me when I'm at work all day and although my mind is still filled with craft ideas, I'm just to tired to do any crafts.

Oh I'm so very sorry to hear that you've been ill, Jodie! You are one of the sweetest people in blogland & I hope you're doing better now.

Now about your card/shadow box.........AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love it! You have really outdone yourself on this one. I'm putting together these 2 stamps for a birthday card for my granddaughter & came to you for inspiration. Wowsers! Your creation is just stunning! Love every aspect of it. Great idea to stamp the boutique on acetate. And I love the crackle. Great idea!

Thanks for sharing this & I pray that all is well with you soon.

Big Huggies ~
Sharron♥
