Magnolia Down Under - Sketch Challenge

Good Morning All and Happy Easter!

Time for the next challenge at Magnolia Down Under and this week we have a fabulous Sketch Challenge for you.

I used this sketch to create an Engagement Card for one of my husband's workmates. The image I chose was Bonny Tilda from the Magnolia With Love Collection 2013.

Tilda is coloured with copics and I've added stickles to her wings and bow (which in hindsight maybe wasn't such a great idea but it's not coming off!) My papers are from Pion Designs, Flowers, Ribbon Binding, Lace and Heart Shaped Pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts, the metal embellishments I've had forever and was please to be able to used this door knocker. The Congratulations Sentiment is a Rub-On and the names Bec and Jeremy were computer generated.

I hope the Easter Bunny found you this morning, we always going camping with friends at Easter while my parents housesit and mind our fourlegged family member - so thanks Mum and Dad. Enjoy your long weekend and stay safe if travelling!

Magnolia Down Under - Inspiration Picture

Good Morning All,

Time for another Magnolia Down Under Challenge and this week we have this pretty inspirational picture for you!

I've made a step-easel card for this challenge and it was inspired by similiar creations by to other very talented MDUC DT's - you can see examples of step-easel cards by Denise and Camilla on their blogs.

I've used three of the new Magnolia Stamps from the Little Easter 2013 Collection - Happy Easter Background, Tilda Hiding Easter Egg and Tilda with Chicken and Eggs.

On the top section of the card my images are coloured with copics and I've used some chalk on the Happy Easter Background. I've also tried some puff-paint on the tail and ears of Tilda Hiding Easter Egg but it hasn't photograped very well :( I found some cute little button brads that I've had forever and added them to Tilda's Bunny Suit

The middle section of the card features Tilda with Chicken and Egg and I've used a Memory Box die called Spring Border, coloured the flowers with copics added some dimensional magic and attached it with foam dots.

The sentiment was computer generated and I've used the Spellbinder Tag from the Fancy Tags Three set.

The papers are from a 6x6 paperpade called Boffle from Do Crafts.

I'd like to enter my card in these challenges:-

Magnolia Down Under - Especially For You

Good Morning Everyone,

Time for another challenge at Magnolia Down Under and this week our theme is "Especially For You". The timing of this challenge was just perfect for me as one of our friends is currently in hospital. Thinking of you Deb and so happy that you are now on the way to recovery :)

I've chosen to use Tilda with Wrapped Heart for my card today, she is coloured with copics and mounted on foam dots. My paper is from Pion Designs, the Flowers, Lace, Metal Corners, Pin and Ribbon are all available at Wild Orchid Crafts and the sentiment is computer generated.

The tag is stamped with a sentiment from Stempelglede Set and was a Secret Santa gift from one of my MDUC friends several years ago :)

I'd like to enter my card in the Midweek Magnolias Shabby Chic Challenge, the Magnolia Mania Butterfly Challenge, the Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge, Simply Magnolia Anything Goes Challenge, and the Tilda's Town F & F or U & E Challenge (I went with the Fussy and Fancy!).

Magnolia Down Under - Pink, Lace & Metal



Hi Everyone,

My apologies for the late Magnolia Down Under post but I've been having technical problems - still on going I'm afraid!

Before I get to my card I firstly have to say a big welcome to Alyce who has joined us at Magnolia Down Under, be sure to check out her first creation for the DT - it is amazing :)

This week at Magnolia Down Under our challenge is to use the following combination Pink, Lace and Metal. It was my Mum's birthday yesterday so I chose to make a card for her. She enjoying Patchwork so I've chosen to use Tailor Tilda this week combined with this cute Tim Holtz Sewing Edge Die.

Tilda is coloured with copics and I've paper pieced her sewing material. The papers are from Pion Designs, the lace and other embellishments were in my stash.

My metal element is this cute little sewing machine along with the brad on the scissors!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you've all enjoyed the holiday period - I know I certainly have :)
