Magnolia Mania GDT- Doorplate

Happy tuesday, crafters.

Today I want to show you what I made for my forth time as a Guest Designer for the Magnolia Mania Challenge . This weeks theme is to create a doorplate. Pop over to the blog to join in the challenge this fortnight.

I chose to use something other than paper to for my project. Actually my 5 year old daughter helped both collecting the material (last year) and choosing the stamps representing each one of us in our little family. We had lots of fun with this! (Although she kept asking me why Tilda and Edwin haven't got mouths...)

I created the plate using some peaces of driftwood. We collected those on the beach near our summer house last year (because you never know what you might need some day, right!) Same thing with the mussel shells. I glued three pieces together in layers to shape the doorplate, and added some flowers, lace, thickers and the stamps.  The word means "welcome" in Norwegian.

The three stamps are Tilda sending loveletter, Tilda with floating hearts and Surf Edwin. I colored the images with my copics. I wrote the names on small pieces of white Bazzil and distressed the edges. That's it. Lots of glue, lucky for me I have a glue gun... lol.

Hope you're inspired to make your own doorplate for the challenge, if you need more inspiration, hurry over to the Magnolia Mania blog to see the DT- creations!

Have a good week!

Pop over to the challengeblog to be inspired by the wonderful creations of the DT!to join the fun!

It's time for the second half of the DT to create inspiration for the challenge and I had lots of fun with this one. I used my Surf Edwin from the Lazy Summer collection.

I used papers from Maja Design: Vintage Summer Basics (beauties every single one of those!), corrugated cardboard (actually from a stamp shipment!!!), the waves/sea are Magnolia doohickeys: Swirly lace, the grass is Cheryl Lynn design dies. Charms from stash, the rope is something I found on the beach last summer and saved it because of the beautiful "saltwashed" color.

I inked up my Edwins with copics. The blue one: B97-95-93-91, The grey one: C5-3-1-00, BG93 and blender, Skin: E13-11-00-000, Hair: E47-44-42 and E47-39-37-35-30.

Here's a closeup of the rope I found on the beach. I made drops on the letters using glossy accent. I distressed the doohickeys with blue jeans distress ink. Tim Holtz.

Hope to see your lovely creations in the challenge!
