Just Magnolia

Just Magnolia challenge 8 was a sketch by Rach and here is my version. Image was coloured with Copics and I made some distressed flowers from scraps of patterned paper and sprayed with Glimmer Mist - yet another way to use up some of my huge collection of scraps!

One Card for Two challenges

I've managed to make a card to cover two challenges. Cute Card Thursday is 'Bling' and Just Magnolia challenge 7 is 'Animals and Insects'.

A variety of stamps used with masks to make a scene. The tree is by Ollyphant, grass and leaves are See Dees and the remainder are Magnolia stamps. Flowers were made using Quickcutz dies and Xcut punches. Gems were added for a bit of 'Bling'.

Just Magnolia Challenge 5

The challenge over on Just Magnolia this week is a sketch and I have used Tilda sitting on a bench with a little cat. The bench and Tilda are from Magnolia and the cat is from Sugar Nellie. Images coloured with Copics and watercolour pencil. Background paper is from Papermania and I've also used Nestabilities, Cuttlebug embossing and some punched flowers.

In Stitches

The challenge for week 4 at Just Magnolia is "In Stitches" - make card incorporating stitching either real or faux. I have drawn faux stitches around the edge of the frame on which Tilda is sitting. She has been coloured using Copic markers.

Reflections

My friend Anne told me how to do this reflection technique so just had to have a go using a stamp from Magnolia. Obviously this wouldn't work with all stamps but is something different.

Just Magnolia

The third Just Magnolia challenge is another sketch. The cute sheep was stamped with Versamark and embossed with Cosmic shimmer embossing powder, flowers were punched using two sizes of X-cut punch and the scalloped border used a Fiskars punch; ovals cut with nestabilities and the swirl is a cuttlebug die cut.

One Card for Two challenges

I seem to be having a busy week so it's a case of one card for two challenges. Cute Card Thursday 'Getting Edgy' to include torn or distressed edges and Just Magnolia 'pink and green'.

Image stamped with Versafine, coloured with pencils and blended with low odour thinners, some torn card, flowers and ribbon.

Magnolia Monochrome

I spotted a new challenge recently on http://jennifer-phoenixcrafts.blogspot.com/ to use Magnolia stamps and create a card following a sketch. I’ve created a monochrome card using stamps, Glimmer Mists, alcohol inks and Cuttlebug embossing. I thought most people would go for the Tilda images so I thought I’d use this cute sheep and a couple of toadstools to be different!!
