Virgo Tilda Frame

 Hello Magnolia Fans.

Yesterday, I was going through my mess and trying to cleaning my craft room. And noticed this Tilda frame I had for sometime now.  It didn't have any embellishments on it.  Just the framed image. I thought I needed to add some die cuts but still keep it simple and make Tilda the focal point of the frame.  I used the new butterfly die from the recent DooHickey Club kit and banner from an older collection.

Here's a closer look at Tilda. As always, I color my images with Distress Ink Reinkers.

I don't have a lot of photos on display around the house, but I do have some Tilda's displayed in my craft room and she is one of my favorites.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again next time.

Have a wonderful week!

Coloring Video: Skin & Hair

    

Hello, hello!

I'm back with another video! Two videos in a week? I can' believe it myself! LOL

We had a thunderstorm today so I didn't want to go out and run errands. 

And I had some images stamped for cards and projects for the next 4 weeks so I thought I'd make a video while I color the skin and hair.  I received just a few requests of a coloring tutorial in the past and I thought I should give it a shot. This is not a tutorial.  I am simply sharing with you how I color with Distress Ink Reinkers. I hope you get inspired! Enjoy the video!

                   
                      

You can also watch the video directly in YouTube.

Please let me know what you think.  I do appreciate all your comments!

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

4 Cards

Hello Magnolia friends!

I am sharing 4 cards today Yes 4! I have posted and shared these on my main blog but I have not shred them here.   One thing in common with these 4 cards is that I colored the images using 

Copics Sketch Markers and second, they're all have pink!  I switch from Distress inks and Copics Markers alot especially when I run out of the watercolor paper or blending paper that I like.

My first card features Sneaky Tilda from the Animals of the Year Collection.

 My second project is a tag using Tilda with Millie the Mouse still from the Animals of the Year Collection. The bow is cut using the Bride Bow DooHickey.

 My third card is actually 2 cards I made for twins. I used Tilda with Spitz Pocket from the Special Moments Collection.

My last card is also for the same twins. But this time, it's just 1 card but 2 separate inserts for their classmates/friends to sign on. I used Gemini Tilda from the Zodiac Collection

Ok, Are you still there? LOL 

Is 4 cards too much for one post?

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Don't for get to order the new 

Pisces Tilda

Happy Monday friends!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I'm finally done cleaning up (I think...), well...the major stuff are out of the way so I can pretty much enjoy my craft desk without see things that are not supposed to be there. Now everything is back to my regular crafting mess.

My card for today features Pisces Tilda from the Zodiac Collection. I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers.  After a few weeks of making CAS cards, I kinda missed the layered, flower-filled cards. As you can see I added some texture by using  Crackle Accents on the Flourish and the Happy Birthday banner. Some corrugated board, cheese clothe, jute ribbon...and the patterned paper which is from Magnolia is distressed on the edges and painted with antique white acrylic paint.

Here's a closer look at Tilda.

Here are the 4 corners of the card. Just click on the image to enlarge.

And this is the inside of the card.

Last look... so you don't have to scroll back up.

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

Have a wonderful day!

Sagittarius Tilda

Hello Everyone!

I hope your week has started out great! 

Today, I'm sharing with a 6x6 layout I made. It has some magnets on the back so it can be displayed on the refrigerator door or any place magnetic. I used Sagittarius Tilda from the Zodiac Collection

Colored with DIs and I used some Winks of Stella for the flower on her hair. I used a different WC paper here so I was trying to adjust the blending and water on my brush.

*~*~*~*~*~*

*~*~*~*~*~*

OK, our refrigerator door is full so for the mean time, I'm hanging this on my desk cubies...while it waits for home!

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

Virgo Tilda

It's a warm and sunny day here in Chicago and I am loving it! But as I look at the weather forecast for this week, it says we will have snow on Wednesday...Ugh! I'm soooo ready for Spring!

My card for today features Virgo Tilda from the Zodiac Collection.

She is one of my favorites from this collection as you can use her for several different cards/occasions. I tried to keep my embellishments to a minimum so the details on the Maja Design Paper can be seen. I used

Colored with Distress Ink Reinkers. I'm trying our a new ink pad because my favorite one is running dry. I am still trying to get used the to way the ink reacts to the Distress Ink reinkers and water.
I try to make a comparison (hopefully in a video form) soon.

I kept the inside simple and blank so it can be personalized.

Here's another look at my card.

The Zodiac Collection is now available in most stockists.

Have a wonderful day and I hope to see you again soon!
