TOMIC Challenge 10 - Masking

Happy Monday Everyone,

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Thanks for dropping by. There's another challenge on over on  TOMIC  Wow, Challenge 10 already, where has the time gone - This week we are asking for MASKING. I hope you will join in, if you need some help, Camilla has made a step by step tutorial for you and don't forget Magnolia Sweden will send a lucky Maggie lover a surprise package selected by random.

 I know I need lots of practice, I normally cut my images out then pop them up on foam tape for dimension. I inked up some old favourites from the Bon Voyage Collection. I love to shop as most girls do, so I couldn't resist these adorable stamps.

Rose Leaf & Heart Swirl - Doohickey Dies

Hope you are having a wonderful week. I've had this card half finished on my desk for a while. I love this rich paper from Prima, it's Christmas range, but I thought it would work well for the vintage look I was after.

I cut both the suitcase and Tilda out to give some dimension, hope you can see it in this photo.

I've coloured with both Copics and Prisma Pencils.

The frame is by Tim Holtz

and the flowers are a mixture of handmade & from Wild Orchid Crafts.

All other dies are from MFT & Spellbinders.

Inside I've used the very versatile Magnolia Loving Border Stamp from the You are so Special Collection. The pocket can be used for a rubber stamp, chocolate, gift card or tag with a special message.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you'll join us at TOMIC for the new challenge this week, I've had a sneak peak at the Magnolia Girls creations and they are amazing.

Friends join us for the 1st Official Magnolia Challenge Blog "TOMIC"

Hello Everyone,

OMG, where has the month gone, I am long overdue posting this card,  with the overhaul of my craft room, I've been neglecting my poor blogging friends. I do hope you'll forgive me. It's surprising how much we accumulate over time, I've found things I had forgotten about and some still in the packaging (am I bad lol). I will post a few pics when my room when is finished.

Anyways on to my card. I bought this adorable Maggie a while ago, I coloured her up, but she has been waiting patiently for a new home and thought it was about time especially with the arrival of the new Rainbow Collection soon, more wonderful rubber to play with.

Happy Sunday Lovelies,

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. I made this last week to say farewell to the gorgeous Kellie Winnell at Tickled Pink Stamps and forgot to post it here, oops.

Anyways, I have used the adorable Farewell Tilda from the Bon Voyage Collection.

Coloured with Copics, Pattern Paper is Annalee Collection from Prima.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit, I hope to have more soon, but am in the process of making my DT goodies for the next Magnolia Ink Magazine.

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.
