Birthday card for Mom

I thought I had LOADS of time for entering Just Magnolia challenge.
Then my 7-month old decided to start teething big time. Needless to say I haven't got much anything done, nevermind cards.

I manage to finish my moms birthday card today eventually, in little 5-minute crafting sessions. I hope I'm not too late. :(

It's a bit of a rush job but it could have been SO much worse, considering!


Card recipe:
Image: Magnolia Tilda as Butterfly
Patterned papers: Prima Windsor
BossKut & Spellbinders dies
Fiskars border punch
Papermania brads
Floers: Prima & Joanna Sheen
Lace from my stash
I used white Brilliance ink for sponging the edges.
Stickles Candy Cane & Crystal Ice
Stardust & glaze pens

Thanks for looking!

A colourful card

I do like Basic Gray products a lot. Funny thing is that I only had some sheets of BG papers in my stash. HAD because I used them ALL up for this card I made for Just Magnolia challenge!



I also decided to enter this card to Basic Grey challenges - this week they want to see paper-piecing on the cards.

Card recipe:
Cardstock: Core'dinations
Patterned papers: Basic Grey
Stamps: Magnolia, Elzybells & Tingtura Stamps
Flowers: Prima
Ribbon: Poppicrafts
Felt Sticker: Martha Stewart Crafts
I also used Stickles Mermaid, Uniball white gel pen and brads & bead caps from my stash.

Thanks for looking!

Tilda in sepia

These things happen. Once in a while you make a card you are quite happy with. This time I happened to get an inspiration from Magnolia Down Under Challenges Sepia challenge.

I think that little butterfly Tilda from spring kit looks absolutely lovely in nice vintage hues...


I coloured my Tilda with ProMarkers and added some subtle accents with Cinnamon stickles. Tea Dye ad Brushed Corduroy distress inks were used for sponging all the papers from Pink Paislee Winsome line. I sprayed doily and flowers with Glimmer Mists and added loads of flat-back pearls I got from Ebay. All the brads and ribbon were from my stash.

Thanks for looking!

I have to admit I am officially addicted to 2S4U... They make the most gorgeous setches and DT is soo talented and versatile, makes me all humble about me modest abilities :D

Loved Lauras sketch, it could be used in many different ways. I'm in paper-piecing mode this week so had a go again! :D


Thank you for all the inspiration you are giving me! Would be lost without you, honest! Keep going!

Materials:
PP: Cosmo Cricket Everafter
Cardstock: Core'dinations pre-distressed
Stamps: Joanna Sheen & Magnolia
Wings: Heidi Swapp (...I think)
Stickles: Ice Gold & Black Diamond

My Prismas are here!

Woo-hoo! Straight from the wild and wonderful Americaland they popped up on my doorstep this week.

I've been wanting to play with them for a LONG time and after waiting all that time I still had forgotten to get blending stumps ... so another couple of days of delay (which gave me some time to sharpen all 120 pencils, still have a blister to show for it ... ouch).

BUT Yesterday I finally had all the supplies and happily inked up a 'lil butterfly chaser boy from Magnolia spring kit. I think he's totally adorable, the whole kit is sooo yummy this time around!

I have a lot of practicing to do with my Prismacolour pencils but I like the soft blended results.

The card itself is for Friday Sketchers challenge (and for my mother in law, oops).

Used K & Co Wild Saffron stack which I've bee hoarding for a while, I think it really works well here!
Materials used:

Main image: Magnolia

Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad & Prismacolour pencils, metallic rub-ons.

K & Co Wild Saffron papers.

Sentiments: Melissa Frances rub-on & Aud Design stamp.

Signo Uniball white pen for faux stitching.
