Whats cooking?

Hi all

Another Magnolia card from me today! Had great fun with this one, I thought that while the kids are at school I would make some time to get crafty, funny really how although I do iron it never has the same appeal as crafting LOL!

I coloured Tilda with distress inks and watercolours, still need to practise with skin tones though well either that or I need more distress ink colours. The papers are DCWV Sweet Stack and Making Memories - Eliza. The Strawberries are from the summer WOJ set last year and coloured with promarkers then triple clear embossed. Flowers and ribbon from my stash.




I am entering into the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz - Girly with flowers
Stampavie and More - Distressing
Stamp Scrap and Doodle - Girlie
Our Creative Corner - Blossoms
Quixotic Paperie - How distressing! (however this is not the case if buying from their store - super fast delivery!!)
Fussy and Fancy - Birthday card with a sweet treat!

Magnolia card

Hi all

One of my lovely Creative Craft World DT Teamies sent me some lovely stamped images and this is the first card I made with them - THANKS Choccy!

I followed the sketch over at Trimcraft which the lovely Rozzy put together for us to follow!



Not sure which Tilda this is but I loved colouring her in using Promarkers. Papers are DCWV Nana's Nursery and the flowers are prima and the small rose and lace from my stash.

I am entering this into the following challenges:
Just Magnolia - Anything goes
Stamp, Scrap and Doodles - Girlie
Our Creative Corner - Blooming Blossoms!
