Happy Birthday!

Hi Friends!

It's time for another Inspiration Challenge 

at MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG.

You may remember that it is Angela's turn for our

challenges this month.

Here is her Inspiration Picture:

Oh I am dying for a piece of this cake!!

Since I couldn't have one, I got down to making my card :o)

This time I used " Edwin with Airplane" #127

from the new Prince and Princess Collection 2012.

This is another order - for a year old Boy.

I thought the stamp was perfect :o)

I have to apologize for the darkness of my pictures.

We have had nothing but snow for I don't know

how long now; and I simply can't get enough light :o(

I hope you can still see the card well enough?

My CS is from SU and is called Almost Amethyst.

Design paper is from DCWV - Nana's Nursery - Boy.

I used TH Antique Linen Distress Ink around each piece of paper.

Pearls, Seam binding, and Stickles were from my stash.

I used a "Clear Dollar Stamp" for both greetings.

Here is a close up of Edwin:

He's just a doll!

Here is the inside left:

Here is the verse a bit closer:

and the right side:

The lady who ordered this is sending it to

Narn, Scotland.  Hope 

 that it gets all that way in good condition!

Sorry to be so short and sweet today.

It has been a busy time for me in the last while.

Another LOTV card

Hello my Friends,

Awk it's still snowing!!

Four days in a row....

Very strange indeed.

I am thrilled that I have been receiving

orders to make cards for people!!

I sure hope they have all been happy with what 

I have made.

Last week I was asked to make 

an Anniversary card.

I love my LOTV stamps so made

an other one :o)

I have been challenging myself to do something 

different and it was the colour of paper I used again

this time. I am a pastel person - you may have

noticed - but I used brown and orange

card stock on this one.

I wasn't sure if it would look like 

an Anniversary card - but think in 

the end it does.

I drew the branches and leaves and also

the rope of the swing.

I cut out the sweet little couple

and mounted them with 3D tape.

All the papers were edged with

TH Vintage Photo distress ink.

Here's a close up for you:

The design paper is by

Bo Bunny is called A Gift Of Love

and has pink and orange trees on it.

This one I coloured with Copics.

I will put the list at the end of the post.

I hand made the flowers on this one.

I don't think they look so good in the photo,

but in real life they are quite nice.

Here is the left hand side on the inside:

Here is the RHS:

Thank you SO much for taking a look at my card :o)

Love, Candy

Magnolia-lcious Colour Challenge

Good Morning Sweet Bloggers,

Yikes we had rain, sleet, hail, snow and high winds

Sunday and Monday and are expecting more of the same the rest of the week! 

We had expected weather like this

when winter started - not now when spring is just a few days away.

Sure hope your weather is getting better.

It's the second Tuesday of March and time for our
MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG

Today it is very talented ANGELA'S turn to pick our Colour Challenge.

Here is her picture:

Looks like rainbow colours to me :o)

Here is what I made :

Aw - such a cute ducky!

I thought when I saw him at Diana's store

he was just a little guy ~ but he is big enough

to make a wonderful baby card! This

one is for a little fellows first Birthday.

I hope you can see all the Crystal Lacquer I put on him

in this picture:

( eye, beak and feet)

.......and here is the inside:

&
#481 - DUCKY DUCK

Hi Friends,

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

We had nothing but rain and bad winds.

I have been watching all the destruction and deaths from

the bad tornadoes last week and have

all the people in my heart.

I made a card last week and thought I 

would show it to you.

This is a Thank You card.

It is a Lily Of The Valley stamp

called 'Positively Pampered'.

I used very unusual colours for me

on this card!

Crushed Curry from SU.

Unknown Wine card stock,

which I put through my Big Shot and 

embossed with Polka Dots.

I always use Cryogen Paper to colour on.

The Design paper is Basic Gray: Lemonade.

Here is the sweet Fairy close up:

I actually used yellow Flock!!

Haven't used flock forever :o)

and should have put more on.

The Gold pearls are from Michaels.

All of the card stock and DP has been

distressed using TH Antique Linen.

Can't believe I actually made some decent

rolled flowers....finally have it mastered.

I thought you might like to see the sparkles:

and here is the inside:

I know you aren't used to me making any cards

besides Magnolia - but I am starting to use

a lot of other stamps and digi images.

I'm having a lot of fun!

And so appreciate the few of you who

are taking a peak at them :o)

Hope to see you soon.

Love, Candy
