Easter/Spring Extravaganza Contest

Happy Monday!

Just under the wire...I have a couple projects for the Magnolia-licious Easter/Spring Extravaganza Contest.

My first project is for #3 - Anything but a card. I have wanted to make a birdhouse for a while, and this was the perfect inspiration.

 Stamps: Tilda and Her Bunny, Tilda With Curls, Tilda's Birds, Big Snail   
Paint/Ink: Benjamin Moore Sampler (green and green mixed with black for accent), Memento, Copics
Paper: Copics X-Press It, SU! paper
Accessories: Flowers, Stickles, Fleur De Lis Pendant,  MS Fence Punch, lace, pearls, Spare Parts, Scallop punch

Here is a variety of pictures of various angles of the birdhouse.

Just for fun, I also entered this in the Our Creative Corner Challenge.

Wish me luck! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Friday Sketchers #80 - Tilda with Bell

Here is the sketch provided this week by Friday Sketchers...

...and here is my card...

I used Tilda With Bell and the Bell accessory from Magnolia. The paper is Figgy Pudding from Basic Grey. The fuzzy ribbon is from my stash. I added some jewels to the top and bottom for a little extra bling.
I added white Fun Flock to Tilda's coat collar and bottom. I cut some of the ribbon to plant under Tilda's feet to give the appearance that she is standing in snow.
As I have mentioned before, I have been playing with 3-D. I love that effect on a card. I even layered the bell to make is pop.

Check back tomorrow for another Christmas card. Tis the season.

Magnolia Highlites - November sketch challenge

For the month of November, Magnolia-licious Highlites gave us this sketch as our monthly challenge...

...and here is my card...

Stamps: Tilda Skiing

Ink: Memento, Copics

Paper:DCWV textured card stock, Classic K Bailey (K&Co), SU! DSP.

Embellishments: Sizzix Snowflakes die cut, rhinestone brad, Fiskars Snowflake border, fuzzy yarn, organza ribbon, silicone glue (for the 3-D image), Cuttlebug Embossing Folder (Snow)

The other inspiration for this card was my desire to use crochet flowers on my cards. So, I got out a small hook and some yarn and started to crochet. I was really just playing around, but liked the scarf look of a chain stitch with the fuzzy yarn. I put together a hat as well, and voila, a stylish skier. I should note that I carried the fuzzy yarn a little further and tied it with the organza ribbon.


I wanted to create a 3-D Tilda to emphasize the scarf. I love how it adds dimension to the image.

I also added some "snow" with liquid applique to ground Tilda to the card.

I love the 3-D Tilda and the idea of "dressing" her. So, watch for more projects like this.

Have a great day!
