Challenge #107 Magnolia and Hanglar and Stanglar

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well and not too wet with the miserable weather we are having, where has our summer gone??

Well onto this card and its my entry for the Magnolia and Hanglar & Stanglar Challenge #107 this week which is a fab sketch by Donalda.  I have wanted this stamp for ages, I think she is so beautiful, she is Hawaiian Flower Tilda. I have coloured her with Prisma pencils and although you can't see it very well on the photo she is covered in Star Dust glitter (the light isnt brilliant for taking good photos today).

The gorgeous paper is Vintage Whimsy by the girls paperie

Flowers from Wild Orchid

Butterfly punch by Martha Stewart

Kraft card from Tracey at Dies to Die for

Lace and rhinestones from stash (oops, just noticed 2 little stones missing from butterfly body!)

I am also entering this card in the following challenge:

Just Magnolia & Hanglar Stanglar Challenge # 89

The challenge over at Magnolia and Hanglar & Stanglar this week is 'My Favourite Things' a chance to go a bit mad and use all your favourite crafty stuff! I just adore these beautiful Hanoverian V&A papers by Docrafts, they have a lovely rich linen texture and victorian look.


Sorry I don't know the name of this little lady but she is so sweet. I have coloured her with Promarkers, stamped around the image with a swirl stamp and added lashings of Platinum Stickles. The border punch and the heart punch are Martha Stewart and the sentiment is one of the new releases from Lili of the Valley.



Thanks for dropping by and hope you can join in!



Happy Crafting!! xx

Just Magnolia Challenge 84 - Anything goes with Sparkle

Wow, 2 challenges within a week! Anyone would think I was well organised, lol! This little lady is my entry for the Just Magnolia Challenge 84 - 'Anything Goes plus the option of sparkle' and seeing as I love a bit of sparkle and bling I just couldnt resist!

Image is coloured with Promarkers, the backing paper is Papermania Festive Frolics. The yummy 'glittery snow' at Tilda's feet is Diamond Sparkle Soft Snowdrift. The snowflakes and poinsettia are Marianne dies and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley.

Hope you are all keeping well and warm and not too snowed in. It was very cold here in Cheshire last night, -15c!!

Thanks for dropping by and your very kind comments, I love reading them and they are very much appreciated.

Magnolia Challenge and a Birthday!!

It's ages since I entered a challenge, I am usually kept busy with family birthdays etc, but when I spied the challenge on Just Magnolia this week I decided to combine it with my daughter Caron's 40th birthday card. I try to time my cards with challenges but I don't do very well, I always manage to miss the challenge or miss the birthday! I was on a roll with this card, not sure if I have gone a little over the top with this card but once I started it I couldn't stop! Still, Caron loves bling and sparkle so I am sure she will be happy with it.

I love this cute Tilda - Fairy Dust, she is coloured with Promarkers and she has been cut out with a Nestie oval using the 'out of the nestie' technique. The papers, card, butterfly and heart have been edged with Frayed Burlap DI and glittered with Stickles Gold. The papers are My Mind's Eye, Wild Asparagus and the lovely flowers are from Wild Orchid., again glittered with Stickles Gold and Star Dust.

The challenge this week at Just Magnolia is Vintage, I think this one qualifies for this challenge.

Thanks for looking, have a great week, hope the sun shines for you wherever you are.

Just Magnolia Week 7 - Animals & Insects

Hi everyone, hope you are all well and enjoying the lovely sunny weather. Its been too hot and sticky to craft the last few days but today is a little cooler so I have spent some time in my craft room today and this card is the result. This is my entry for the Just Magnolia Challenge - Week 7, Animals and Insects. This week the challenge is Animals and Insects - your card has to feature either and the animal or insect does not have to be a Magnolia image - or even a stamp, it could be a die cut, a punch out, a charm, shaped button - anything as long as it is an animal or insect.

The papers are from the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection and I have used the Cuttlebug Paisley folder on Bazill card to match the paisley pattern of the paper. Lace and flowers are from my stash and the sentiment done on PC. Tilda has been coloured using Prisma pencils and Sansador and I just have to give these little ladies a smile!

Just Magnolia Challenge #1

The first challenge this week for 'Just Magnolia' is a sketch and this is my entry. This was a lovely sketch and the card just came together so well. The paper I have used is Basic Grey Bittersweet, the flowers I made using my scalloped circle nesties and the leaves are Leone Em Ash punch. Tilda is coloured using Prisma pencils and Sansador and I had to give this little Tilda a mouth, her face looked a little 'blank' to me!
