Magnolia Card..........



Well its taken me well over a week to make this card but here I am at long last and with a card that I am very happy with.
I've a draw of Magnolia stamps that never see daylight. I've been having a good sort out in my craftroom and have added lots on ebay and still loads more to go on if anyones interested.
I went totally OTT with this card and love the final result. Tildas been coloured with Copics and Prismas and dotted around her with a White Gel Pen. The papers are Magnolia, Dies Galore including my TH Weathered Clock, a big favourite right now. Found all my flowersoft in a cupboard so have added to the Magnolia Fence along with lots of MS Punched Butterflies. Cheesecloth, Stickles and a Viva Pearl Pen for a touch of detail and a scrummy piece of lace to.
Forgot to say the tag on the left is removal so you can always add a message there to and the fence has been arched giving a bit of dimension.


This is the inside. Again Magnolia Papers, Flowers, Punched Butterfly, MS Border Punch backed onto Bazzill Cardstock.
.

Love your card...and I love that tilda, just got her on line. I noticed you mentioned that you have some stamps for sale.....do you happen to have this older Tilda.... Annie, I love you! It's really an older one, she looks like a baby, bald little head, real plain! Been looking everywhere for her since I saw her on a card over at Magnolia-licious on a card entered in it's latest challenge! Thanks, Teresa

Alina said...

Hi, Claire, I haven't forgotten you, you asked me about the cardstock I use to colour my images, well, I use recordcards, nothing special, I buy them at a local store, on the package stays ''Ficard- Aurora'' and they have a website www.aurora-productions.be. The cards are smooth, sometimes I have problems printing out my images, I use a HP inkjet printer. If you need to know more about this, please ask.

Your card is very pretty, I have that lace in my stash, I love it! I haven't used cheesecloth yet, but it looks great!
hugs, Alina

Unknown said...
