Happy Sunday Stampers,

It is time for another Magnolia Down Under Challenge and this week the challenge is to make a seasonal themed card.

I have been itching to ink up this gorgeous girl (Tulip Tilda) from Magnolia's new Wedding Collection and as you can see she would be perfect for so many occasions. I have teamed her up with the tulip (Two Tulpis) from Magnolia's Easter Hoppy Easter Collection 2010 , a perfect match.

I have coloured the images with Copics (V000, V12,15,17 & B000 - B04) cut them out and popped them up for some dimension, airbrushed the background, added lots of Star Dust stickle sparkle, the papers are from Kaisercraft (Utopia Collection), loving these gorgeous colours, and then stamped the inside with more of the tulips and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Hope you will join us this week.

For your Wedding

It's time for another Magnolia Down Under Challenge

And welcome back for challenge #53. Our challenge this week is.....

IN THE NEWS - incorporate a bit of newspaper somewhere on your card.

 If you are wondering where my news print paper is, it is poking out from under the big white flower. I struggled a little with this challenge, I've seen some amazing creations using newsprint and the other Design Team members have come up with some amazing examples to inspire you, I hope you will join us this week and show us your wonderful creations.

I've been stuck in Wedding mode now for a while, I love the beautiful Wedding Collection Magnolia recently introduced and after making my Design Team cards to send to Magnolia Sweden,  I just can't stop. I don't know anyone getting married, but at least I will have a couple of cards ready just in case.

This is Magnolia's Bride & Groom, I've coloured them with Copic Markers. I was lucky enough to receive these beautiful doilies, pearls flourishes and tassle trim in my Tickled Pink Stamps DT Kit, Kellie has these available in her store along with some fabulous charms and perfect for Wedding/Anniversary themed creations. The matching gift box was made using my cricut expression die cutting machine, with tags bags & boxes cartridge, I need to buy some more of Kellies gorgeous tassle trim to add to the edges of my gift box. Both my card and gift box was glimmered and glamoured with Glimmer Mist and Stickles.

Bride & Bridesmaid

Wedding Background

Flower Girl

from Magnolia's new Wedding Collection 2010

May your day be Special - Chasing Butterflies Collection 2009

On the front panel of my card I've stamped Bride and Bridesmaid and the Wedding Background. I made a Gate Fold Card, the tutorial is by the very talented Beate of Splitcoast Stampers.

I coloured Bride & Bridesmaid with Copic Markers and cut them out, I used some pop dots to raise them above the background for some dimension.

The Wedding Background I stamped twice, cutting out the markee/curtains, coloured them and attached them to the background again with pop dots giving the background a little more dimension, adding a 2nd layer.

The beach background (Wedding background) I coloured or I should say attempted to colour with Distress Inks for a softer look, I certainly need lots of practice.  The front panel ended up with 3 layers (I forgot to take a side view to show the dimension)

For the inside of my card I've used the adorable Flower Girl, and the sentiment is also from Magnolia, May your day be special - Chasing Butterflies Collection 2009.

and this is the back of my card

This is the last of my DT cards for the Wedding Collection and they are now on their way to Magnolia Sweden, I hope they like them.
