Mountain Lily

Good Morning Peeps!

Here I am again :o)

Today it is Wee Wednesday

at Magnolia-licious / Wee Blog.

This is my first go for Wee Wednesday.

I hope you like my card.

This very sweet image is called

Mountain Lily,

you can find her right HERE
DIANA has a wonderful selection of 
WEE STAMPS in her store

* Don't forget one random winner
will receive a wonderful gift package
from 
DIANA.
Just leave comments during the week
on all blog posts and DT Blogs.
You may be the lucky winner. *

On to my card.

Here is the front:

I coloured with Copic's as always.

I used Spellbinders Scalloped Circles,

Magnolia trees and a few flowers I happened

to have that were the right colour.

After I had everything together I sprayed

the whole card with Glitter Mist, in both

Marshmallow and Iridescent Gold.

First time I have tried this,

I thought since she is an Angel

she should be all glittered up!

Before that I glittered her

wings real good!

I used Crystal Lacquer and Clear Glitter Ritz.

My Card Stock is from SU

Really Rust and Old Olive.

The Design Paper is from

Raspberry Road.

More pics for you :

Thank you ever so much for looking today!

I look forward to your comments

so much :o)

See you again soon.

Love, Candy

Tilda and her Bunny

Good Morning Friends,

I sure hope most of you are

finally experiencing Spring Weather!

Today is our new Challenge at:

MAGNOLIA/WEE CHALLENGE BLOG

This time our CHALLENGE is:

Spring is in the Air

************
You may wonder why I choose an
Easter Image?
When I was a young girl
we had two weeks off
for Spring Break. Easter
fell during that time.
The weather was always
sunny and warm by then.
My brother and I always received
new clothes on Easter for
Church and then to wear to school
after that. I can remember lovely
dresses, very light sweaters, new white
cotton gloves and new shoes.
What a thrill it was LOL

***********

Please remember to follow the new rules :o)

To enter our Challenge: you must use

either a Magnolia image or a Wee image.

AND

You can win a fabulous gift package

from lovely DIANA

BLOG HOP!

Good Morning Everyone,

We are having our first BLOG HOP

of 2013 today!

If you came from

CATHY LEE'S blog you are in the right order.

If you just stumbled here you will

want to start at the beginning which is

the CHALLENGE BLOG

Our challenge is:

ANYTHING BUT A CARD.

This was a real hard one for me,

as I can't get to stores to buy anything to make!

I had one large candle at my house,

so I decided that had to be it :o)

The candle is 6" in diameter.

Therefore 12" around.

It is white.

So I gathered paper and my image,

TILDA WITH DAFFODIL  BASKET

# 3001

SHE IS FROM THE EASTER COLLECTION 2013

She can be found HERE in DIANA'S STORE. I also
used : sentiment - BEST EASTERWISHES #754 same place.

I have used only card stock no design paper.
The paper is all from Stamping Up
Barely Banana, Pretty in Pink,
and Bashful Blue.

I cut a a 3" strip of yellow paper
and added a wonderful boarder from
Magnolia Doohickey.
I placed large pearsl from my stash on the top
and bottom of the boarder at certain places.

Tilda is the focal point of the decoration.
but I added hand made flowers
to her left and right.

I added large pearls to the centre of each

large flower and a tiny rhinestone in

each tiny flower.

This is the right side of the candle:

Here is the left side:

And a close up so you can see the pearls and rhinestones

Here is a close up of Tilda:

***SAFETY PLEASE!!***

If you decide to decorate

a candle this way, make sure

that you take OFF the decoration

while burning the candle!!!!!

I have made mine tight enough to stay on the candle

and lose enough to be able to pull it off.

* I have learned that I should have

taken a picture of the whole thing

while it was laying down before

adding it to my candle *

My apologies.

REMEMBER:

I hope you are having fun with the BLOG HOP.

If you are following in order 

you should go to  JANIEL  next.

See you soon,

Love, Candy

My card this time is:

'Farewell Tilda'

and I have also

used a mini called 'Front Doorstep'

from  Alotta Mini Stamps.

I stamped Tilda first then covered her

to stamp the stairway over top.

I must apologize for the state of my photos!

My house is so dark it is very hard to take good shots.

I tried something different this time

and I think it turned out worse.

So I won't do this again.

As you see I made a round card this time.

I used Spellbinders Grand Circle, 3rd size.

and regular size Spellbinders circles with holes.

Other dies I used are:

Magnolia Doo Hickey Swirl

and some older flower punches I have.

This one is called 'Sakura'

Close up:

Side and top flowers with Seam Binding:

My card is distressed with

SU - Crumb cake.

DP are from Magnolia -

'Yummy for your Tummy'.

Clear flowers and pearls are from my stash

and Seam Binding is from - 

Ribbon Girl.

Here is the inside of my card:

I thought the soft colour paper

would be fine for writing the

message on. It is sure to be seen.

No Copic list this time - sorry. 

I used so many I didn't keep track :o(

See you tomorrow for the

Magnolia and Wee stamp Challenge.

Thank you for your wonderful 

comments. They make my day :o)

Love, Candy

Happy Saturday Friends!

UPDATE Copic Colours at end of post!

Here I am with my Magnolia-licious / Wee Challenge Post

almost a week late!

I must apologize to you all.

My computer broke down - wouldn't you know it!

I just got it back yesterday after it was in the shop

for two weeks.

Got a new motherboard so I should be 

good for a long time now :o)

This is my card for 

ALL ABOUT BOYS

I have used Edwin with Airplane #127

 from the PRINCE AND PRINCESS COLLECTION 2012.

I also used You are so special sentiment  #721

from the YOU ARE SO SPECIAL COLLECTION 2011.

The Design Paper is is DAISYD'S

and CRATE PAPER.

All of the card stock is from SU - 

REAL RED and SO SAFFRON.

Yellow ribbon 1 1/2 inch is from my stash.

Here is my card:

I love this sweet Edwin!

I also thought I had the best paper for this card.

Here he is up close:

I made the Airplane from my new

Cameo Silhouette.

I cut the plane out 3 times in different

colours and then made a 3D image of it.

I also used Tim Holtz Antique Linen to

distress it all over.

The inside isn't fancy. Here is the left:

I had this little airplane button in my stash

and thought it was cute.

Here is the right hand side:

The blue pearls were also from my stash.
