Summer Flower Tilda

Hi Everyone

This little Tilda is one of my favourites and I wanted to play with some different colour combinations.

Starting with a base of Bazzill Heidi, Aloe Vera and Lily White card.  I then stamped the Stampendous Floral Tapestry (CRR217) using a Memento ink pad and coloured with Copic Markers.

Using Dienamics and Nestabilities oval dies, I added layers and across the bottom, Petaloo flowers.

Lastly, I stamped 'Summer Flower Tilda' on HP Colour LaserJet paper and coloured her with the Copic Markers.  Using mounting tape, I added Tilda to the front of the card.  Add a little glitter to the flower and her dress.

Copic Markers: E00, E11, R20, E31, E35, YG91, YG95, V91, V95, V15, Y11, Y38

Life's A Beach

Hi Everyone


Not sure if I'm still loving this humid weather we are experiencing in Brisbane, it's been pretty hot lately and this little card made me relax just looking at it.

The stamped image is a Magnolia Rubber Stamp - Chair In The Sunset which I stamped on watercolour paper using a Archival Jet Black. 

After die cutting the image with an oval die, I coloured the image with Distress Markers - Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Antique Linen, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Worn Lipstick, Gathered Twigs and Walnut Stain.

I layered the image on Tag punched from MFT Dienamics die and a Magnolia Die - Heart Fence.  The card base is Dotted Swiss, Surfs Up and Lily White and papers from the Kaisercraft Seaside Collection.

 Hi Everyone

WOW - it's December and Summer has started.  I can't believe where the year has gone and it's only 24 days till Christmas - Woot Woot!!!

Here's the last month of our Calendar Project - my December page.

As many of you know, I love Penny Black and these lovely cling stamps by Mo Manning are favourites.

Here I have used Little Elf Finn (40-088) and Little Elf Mim (40-089) and have them swinging from some ferns cut from the Magnolia Doo-Hickey dies.

I have coloured my Elves with Copic Markers - E00, E11, R20, E31, E35, E37, R27, R59, G21, G24, G28 and the baubles were coloured with YR23, Y21 and Y000.  After cutting out and adhering the Elves to my page, I added glitter to the baubles and fir trims on Finn and Mim's clothes.

Magnolia Rubber Stamps and Darkroom Door stamps don't normally go together (apart from word stamps) but this was just tooo easy.

The word 'London' is from the London Vol 1 stamp set and was stamped using an Archival Jet Black ink pad.

The 'Vintage Phone Booth' and 'Guard of the Castle' are from Magnolia's new Little London Collection 2013 release.  I stamped the images on HP Colour Laser Jet paper (200gsm).

Best Wishes

Hi Everyone

I fell in love with Magnolia's new 'Summer Flower' stamp when I first saw it on their website and was really excited when the latest release arrived. 

I created this first card using Bazzill Lily White and Leapfrog and used some pink Kaisercraft paper (sorry, I don't have the code).

I stamped the background Lily White card with Darkroom Doors - Postcards Background stamp using a Distress Ink Pad - Bundled Sage.

I stamped 3 Summer Flowers using a Memento Ink Pad and coloured them with Copic Markers - Y11, YR04, G29, G24 and G21.  I then cut out the flowers with a slight halo around the outline.

After preparing the card, as shown, I then applied glue to the stems of the flowers and then mounted the flowers.  These are one piece, I just put mounting tape on the back of the flowers.

Now - the words.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Darkroom Door new stamp set 'Simple Sayings'.  Here I have used the 'Best Wishes' words.

Not only does this stamp set have a great range of words and font - each word comes in 2 sizes - soooo, I then created a gift card (10x20cm) using the same flower and background but used the smaller size 'Best Wishes'.

Until next time...Happy Stamping
Michelle
