For todays blog hop, I am using Sitting Clown Tilda from the Le Cirque Collection. I chose this stamp because you can use this stamp for various occasions or different card themes. So instead of going for a circus themed card, I went for a fall-autumn-harvest theme.  I love the warm colors of autumn and I tried to incorporate it on my card. I tried to make it simple to make Tilda the focal point of the card.

I colored Tilda and the pumpkins using Copic Sketch Markers.  For the background, I attempted to make a water color back ground using Prima Watercolors.  I do need a whole lot of practise with watercolors but I enjoyed playing with it.

I fussy cut all the images and used foam adhesives for dimention.

Yay!! You made it thru all the Magnolia DT Blogs. This is your LAST STOP. But if you want to go back and check out the other blogs again, here is the list of all the Blogs!

Christmas Calendar #23

Hello Magnolia Friends!

Have you been following the Magnolia Design Team Advent Calendar daily post? I hope so.  Well, today it's my turn to open Shutter #23. Two more days 'til Christmas and the excitement is felt everywhere.

My card for you today features DooHickey Dies from the DooHickey Club Kit Volume 2.  This was the first Christmas DooHickey Club set.  I made it simple and easy and if you have last minute cards to make, this is one quick project that you can whip up in just minutes.

I used Tim Holtz's Core-dination Distress Collection card stock. It's so easy to give a distressed look by just sanding the edges of the paper pieces.

Some corrugated board is always a good accent and texture for your creations.

The sentiment is from the A Lovely Christmas Collection.

I hope you got inspired with my simple card today.  If you want to win a Special Prize from Magnolia, please leave a comment below and I will pick a winner on Christmas eve. 

Good Luck and thanks for dropping by!

Happy Holidays!

Devine Tilda CAS

Hi there.

I have a quick CAS Magnolia card to share with you.  This is Devine Tilda from the waiting for Christmas Collection.  She is one of my favorite stamps because you can use her for any occasion.

I colored this image using Copic Sketch markers and tried to to a "no lines" technique.  It's been a while since I tried to do this technique.   I used Antique Linen Distress Ink pad to stamp the image. The DI is very light so bleeding or smudging isn't really my concern here.  I have seen Alice Wertz use Antique Linen on her images so I thought I'd give it a try.

Since DI's are not oil based, there are safe for Copic nibs.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Stop in the Name of Love

Hello Magnolia Friends!

The card I'm sharing with you today is from the Lovely Duo Collection called Stop In The Name of Love Tilda.  Isn't she just a cutie?  The butterfly die cut is from the DooHickey Club Kit #4 and is one of my favorites from the set.  The designer paper is also from Magnolia called Rose Path from the Sea Breeze Collection.

As always, she is colored using Distress Ink Reinkers.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the seam binding, clay hearts, the twine and the charm are all from my stash

The edges of the main panel is sewn, distressed and painted with antique white acrylic paint.

I hope you like my card and I'd like to know what you think.
