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!

Magnolia Christmas Calendar Day 18

Hello Magnolia Fans!

I am your host today for the Magnolia  Christmas Calendar Day 18.

It's Divine Tilda for my card today. I kept it simple to  make Tilda the focal point of the card.

She is colored with Distress Ink Reinkers on watercolor paper.

For the accent stamp, I used the Holly Swirl from the Christmas Story Collection and the Snowflake border die is from the the DooHickey Club # 3.

Tilda in Cozy Coat

Happy Friday everyone!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yes it is! For my card today,  I used Tilda in Cozy Coat from the Waiting for Christmas Collection. As I was about to color the image, I looked at my Copic color chart to see which colors I have not used a lot. And I noticed that I have not really used the

 BG 32, 18, 15, 13, 11, 10. So I decided to use those colors for Tilda's coat.  Luckily, I found a piece of card stock and patterned paper that would go perfectly with the colored image.

Here is Tilda up close.

Copics used:

Skin: E 13, 11, 00, 000, 0000

Hair: E 47, 37, 35, 33, 51

Coat: BG 32, 18, 15, 13, 11, 10, C 6, 4, 2, 1, 0

Gloves/Leggings: E 44, 43, 42, 41

Boots: BG 18, 13,  C, 6, 4, 2, 1, 0

Background: BG 10, 000, 0000

I kept the card CAS and I used some Mama Elephant Dies for this card. The sentiment is from 

CC Designs. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Magnolia Friends!

If you arrived from Tanja's Blog, you are in the right place! But if you just happened to pop in, you can start the blog hop from Pearl's Blog.

My card for today features Tilda with Apple Wreath from the Waiting from Christmas Collection. I have colored her with Distress Ink Reinkers on watercolor paper. The sentiment Merry Christmas Text is from the Winter Wonderland Collection. The Magnolia DooHickey's used are the

 Wooden Sign and some from the DooHickey Club #2.

Here's a close up of Tilda holding the apple wreathe. I added some Glossy Accents to give the apples some dimension and shine.

The tag on the side has the sentiment stamped on the same  

Magnolia Designer paper as the main card base.

Ski Star Tilda

Happy Monday everyone!

Christmas is just around the corner and latest Magnolia Collection Waiting For Christmas has the perfect images for you Christmas cards this year. 

This is Ski Star Tilda.  And I colored her using Copic Sketch Markers. For the falling snow and the snow on the ground, I used embossing paste.

Here's Tilda up close

If you're on Facebook and you are a member of the Magnolia group, you probably saw a card similar to this. Yulis, my Magnolia Design Teammate  posted  her card last week. And as soon as I saw it, I messaged her and told her that I had almost the exact same card.  I finished my card early last week, the exact same time she finished hers. So she told me to post it together with her card. Unfortunately,  I scheduled to post this card today and I didn't have an extra card or time to make another one.

 Yulis and I chat online very so often but we never thought of making the same card. We have the same interests...not only in crafting but also in other things not related to cardmaking.

 I also want to be neighbors with her because she has all my favorite tropical fruits in her backyard! And even though she is thousands of miles away, I'm so glad I can call Yulis as my dear friend and as the saying goes "great minds think alike...", well, for Yulis and I, "crafty minds think alike...sometimes at the same time!" :)

Anywhooo...that's the story behind my card.  

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