Winter Wonderland: Same but Different

 Hello there. Today, I'm going to share another card using one of the stamps from the

Winter Wonderland Collection.

I actually made 2 cards using the same image. I colored it almost exactly the same and I also used the same patterned paper collection and used the same DooHickey Dies for my embellishments. So let's just call this... "Same but Different".

Here's the first card,

And here is the second card.  This time I made it a square card

Just as mentioned, I colored the images almost exactly the same. Have you noticed the difference? Yup, it's the hair. Everything else is the same. I actually colored the image in card #2 first. But then I thought the hair was too "busy" and it took me forever to lay the ink down and let it dry so I thought I need to change my coloring style and be more efficient and cut my coloring time in half. So I colored another one(card #1) with chunkier hair. It still took a while to finish coloring the image but not as much as. But honestly, I like them both. How about you?

Magnolia Tilda

Hi there.

I'd like to share a card that I made months ago. I just forgot to share it and post it here. So here goes.

  I colored this image a while back...when this Tilda came as a special edition stamp.  Now, it's part of the Little London Collection.  Isn't she just a cutie? 

This was one of my first attempts of coloring with no-lines.

Here's a closer look. I used the Adirondak Cloudy Blue ink pad with this one.

Invitation tilda

Hello there!

I have a card for you today and I used Invitation Tilda from the Special Moments Collection.

One of my favorite DI inks to use is the Shaded Lilac. (Tilda's headband and dress) After you layout the ink...as you blend out the color, it somehow changes to a soft pinkish color...depending on how wet the blending brush is. :) Such a pretty color!

Here are the other views of the card, and the inside of the card.

For this card I used the following Magnolia Products:

I hope you like my card for today. 

Let me know that you stopped by and I appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for me!

Have a nice day and I'll see you really soon!

Four Seasons

Hello there!

I'd like to share a very simple and very easy project/frame I made last night. There's a hole in the wall in my craft room that I'd like to cover so I thought of making something to cover it...so I don't have to stare at it.

Here, I used the Afternoon Tea Plant from the Little London Collection. And I colored it with Copics Sketch Markers in 4 different shades, representing the 4 seasons.

London Tilda

It's a wet, (but not so) gloomy day here in Chicago. 

A perfect day craft and also to snuggle up and have some hot cocoa or a bowl of warm chicken soup.  And because it is raining, my card for you today features London Tilda from the 

Little London Collection. 

I used Magnolia Blue Vintage Hydrangea designer paper from the Sea Breeze Collection.

As usual, I colored her with DI Reinkers and I stamped the image using Archival Ink Coffee (2nd/3rd generation).  It may look like it's a no-lines technique but actually you can still the light brown lines. It sort of fades when the image is colored with darker ink so it seems like there are no lines.  But in the light colored areas of the image, you can see the lines.

Flowers are from WOC and the charms, metal corner, doily, lace, seam binding are all from my stash.
I also covered the air clay heart with Crackle Accents.  For the rain drops, I used Glass Effects.

Don't forget, tomorrow is Magnolia Day in Boras, Sweden!

There will be prizes and give aways, tutorials/demos and lots of fun stuff!

Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for stopping by and I really appreciate all your comments...
and letting me know you were here.

See you soon!
Hugs!
