Magnolia-licious Colour Challenge

Hello Friends,

It is crazy at my house.

Been that way for the last couple of weeks.

This is the first time I have been late

with my Challenge!!

Please forgive me.

It is Maria's turn to pick the COLOUR CHALLENGE

this month.

Here is her picture:

The colours she wants to see are:

PINK, GREEN, LIGHT YELLOW /OR ECRU.

I  had a bad time finding paper for this challenge

then Copics that would match what I found!

So I am not too pleased with the outcome of my card.

I bought some Design Paper from NITWITS.

Used SU card stock : Old Olive and Pink Pirouette.

The Magnolia Image I chose is

TILDA WIZARD #3081 from the

Prince and Princess Collection.

Here she is:

Tilda was a lot of fun to colour!

I have used soft green Seam Binding from

the Ribbon Girl.

The stars are from my stash as is the stickles 

and Crystal Lacquer.

Here is a closer picture of Tilda. I hope you can

see the shine on her glasses and shoes in this one.

I also took a close-up of the ribbon which has 4 bows.

The inside of this card is exactly the same on both sides!

I have not yet stamped a saying in the left side,

and won't until I have an occasion to use it.

The right side has plenty of room for writing :o)

If you join in our MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG

Birds are singing!

Hello Friends!

Although we are still having a lot of rain,

we have had enough warm weather for the

birds to be out and the flowers blooming.

We have so many hummingbirds this year it's amazing!

I love watching them and listening

to their little squeaks too.

I know I told you all I would have Blog candy soon.

I did mean today, but my camera died after I just finished

photographing my card! I have it plugged in and will put

the candy up as soon as I can.

It is Inspiration Challenge today at  Magnolia-licious

Challenge Blog

Our wonderful DT Member Tracy is the 

host of our Challenge this month.

Here is her picture:

Lovely spring colours or cupcakes :o)

************

I couldn't believe I didn't have a stamp of Tilda 

with a cupcake :o(  I have her with almost any other food....

So I couldn't do cupcakes and chose to go with the colours instead.

Here  is the front of my card:

I have used Nitwit design paper.

Card stock is all from SU: Tempting Turquoise

Pixie Pink and Gable Green. I have also used

SU Ink in the exact same colours to put on each cut of paper,

but I mixed them all up for fun.

Tilda with Straw Hat is a very old one for me. She was one of the first

that I bought and I have no idea what Collection she came from.

Those first few years I didn't have a way to keep my stamps

in any sort of order :o(

Tilda's dress is Paper Pieced also with the

same NitWit papers.

I hardly used any Copics this time so I

haven't written them down. They are so much

the same as I always use....

Here are a few close ups for you:

Here is the inside:

and here is the sentiment:

The wonderful seam binding I used for the ribbon

and bow are from 

THE RIBBON GIRL,

the pearls are from my stash.

Please take a trip to the

CHALLENGE BLOG

to see everyone's work :o)

See you very soon and 

thanks so much for dropping by

for a look at my card :o)

Love, CANDY

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.

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
