Step Card- Magnolia Mania GDT

Hi everyone.

Today I'm posting my second of five Guest DT- cards for the Magnolia Mania challengeblog. The challenge this time is to make a stepcard. Please pop over to the blog to see the beautiful creations of the DT and the two other guestdesigners, Lorrain and Nicole. Very talented ladies! Be inspired, and join in to play!

The card turned out pretty candy'ish colorwise... But I bet there is a little girl somewhere who will be happy to get this as her birthday card:)

I used papers from the lovely Pion Design. Pearls, flowers and lace from stash. Spellbinders and Memorybox dies, and Martha Stewart punches.

I used the stamps "Tilda with birthdaycake" and "Tilda with heart lace" in front, and two minis in the back- mini "Tilda with floating hearts" and mini "Happy Spring Tilda". The sentiment stamp is from North Star Stamps and means: "Happy birthday", in Norwegian.

The tildas are colored with copics. Hair, belt and shoes:E47- 44-42-41 (love that combo!), Skin: E13-11-00- 000, Dresses, Hearts: R89-85-83, V000, Socks and cake: C01-00 

The back- room for some sweet words for the birthday-girl.

  

 Some details....

I would like to enter the card to the following challenges:

Greytones with homemade flower

For this card I did two things I've never done before. I  colored an image in greytones to make a black and white look, for the lovely hÄnglar or sweet Magnolia challenge: Main Character grey-tones or black and white, everything else coloured.
The lovely Midweek Magnolias challenge this week is May Flowers: Add flowers to your creation.
So I tried to make a flower.

I used papers from the lovely Pion Design, spellbinders, pearls, lace, rubbons (letters) and flowers from stash. Tim Holts distressink- vintage photo for distressing the edges, 3 different size flowerpunches. The sentiment is Norwegian and translates to:"New generations".

 Coloring the stamp "Tildas family" with copics, I used W9-7-5-3-1 and blender.

Here's my homemade flower. i used 3 differen size flowerpunches. Distressed the edges and curled them a little before I glued them together.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Love it if you leave a comment to say what you think:)

Bon Voyage

Magnolia Down Under has a fun challenge this week: To use a stamp from the bon voyage collection, or travel theme. Here's my take:

I've been thinking about trying to create a scene on one of my cards for a long time. I see so many georgeous scenes on blogs around, and I wanted to give it a shot. I don't really have a lot of background stamps, but I figured I could try to put together something from the stamps that I have. I chose not to do masking, because I wantet to be able to move the objects after coloring them.

I colored the stamps with copics and cut out them out with scissors and scalpell. I used a small house, two fence stamps, a tree, and tilda on the loose. All Magnolias.The fence is stamped on aquarell paper, distressed with walnut stain distressink and then covered with glossy accent to make it pop. I cut the tree in two to make it less dominant, and used the two parts to frame the scene.

I cut a square of aquarell paper and paintet the sky and grass with distressink. Then I glued the stamps on, creating a scene in layers, wich gives the card a 3D effect. It doesen't really show on the pics that well, but it looks kind of cool in real life:)

I desided to make a step card using quick cutz scalloped edge dies to create a frame effect. Papers are pion design.

Some of the details:) I made some room for writing a personal message on the bottom of (under) the card.

Hope you like it:)

Love it if you leave a comment to say what you think!

It's been a buzy week for my, so no blogging and very little cardmaking. Can't belive it!!!

But here I am, with my first DT contribution to Just Magnolia. This weeks theme is

Anything goes with the option to add Swirls and Pearls

The prize this week is sponsored generously by Simon Says Stamp who offer an amazing $25 to spend in the store!

Pop over to the Just Magnolia blog to be inspired by the lovely creations of the DT's and join in!

I used Prima papers, (love those summer colors!), quck cutz lace circle dies, spellbinders, Memorybox heart dies (swirls), flowers, lace, charm and pearls from stash. The sentiment stamp is from Whimsey stamps.

As always I colored my image, 'Tilda sending loveletter', with copics. I used the bright BG's for a change, which is very much out of my confort zone- but since I bought them I must have had an intention to use them...lol.  I softened it up with some W's to make it less bright.

Hair, shoes and flower: E 50-53-57, Skin: E 000-00-11-13, Dress: BG 10-11-13, W1-3, Letter: C1-3, Hearts: R83-85, Grass/Ground: YG 93-95, E30-31-33.

The fence is also a Magnolia stamp. I distressed it just a littlebit with distressink.

Two tildas in spring colors

I'm having some real issues with the new blogger today. Both my posts for today suddenly disappeared, so I have to try to recollect them as best I can....

Anyway... What I originally posted was that I made this cart for three challenges:

The lovely ladies at the  Midweek Magnolias wanted us to make a project wit two Tildas on.

Simply Magnolia: This weeks challenge was to use at least two magnolistamps.

Magnolialcious Challengeblog:  This wonderful inspirational picuture. Love the spring colors!.

I tryed to make a new kind of card this time, for me anyway.

I used papers from Prima Sun Kiss Collection, QK swirl and leaf dies, Martha Stewart punch. Charms, pearls and lace from stash.

Photographing this card wasnt easy...:)

The two tildas I used are: Tilda with wrapped heart and tilda sending loveletter.

I colored my images with this bunch of copics.

 Some details. I used a stamp from "Norsk stempelblad",  the words mean something like " sending you sunshine and lots of hugs..."

I left som room on the back for a personal message.

Thank you for looking. Hope you like it!

Dont forget to pop over to Magnolia Mania for their latest challenge, you can also read more about it in my previous post!

Have a great day!
