Another new Maggie and play time woohooo!!!

Hi Everybody! Just a quick post from me again as I just had to share with you another one of my new Tilda's, how gorgeous is she?! Couldn't resist having a play with the new stash again and decided to follow the colour scheme over at Magnolia-licious which is pink and brown so I'll be entering my card into their challenge. Over at Magnolia Down Under their challenge is flower power this week so I'll enter my card there too and last but by no means least, I'll enter The Ribbon Girl's challenge as they have a colour scheme of cream, pink & brown. As always, whenever I play with my Maggies, I had such fun making this card. The lush dps are called Love Letters by First Edition papers (if you click on the picture to make it bigger you can see the glitter and embossing on the papers) and I've used core'dinations for the matting.

I have coloured Tilda in with my Copics. The swirl is again a doohickey. The tag that the sentiment is in is from the Whimsy ticket collection and I have used one of my own sentiments and then heat embossed it with Sheena Douglass' brass sparkle WOW embossing powders. As always the flowers and lace are all from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearls are from my stash.

Hope you're all having a good weekend so far. Thanks for stopping by I luv to hear from you and what you think of my creations. Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Anyway, onto today's card which is for Totally Papercrafts and this week the lovely Caroline has chosen the theme of paper piecing. Must be honest and say it's not my favourite, I just luv colouring in too much but I did enjoy the change. For my card I decided to go with one of the Simply Sassy Girls called Bad Hare Day, isn't she just devine? My dps are all Magnolia and I've again distressed the edges, just luving the finished result that distressing gives.

Bizzy Becs Blue Butterfly DT - New release preview day 3

Hi All!!! Here we go with preview number three from the "Once upon a Time" Collection and may I introduce to you Roses, Roses. Didn't I tell you all how lovely this new range is?! This time I have decided to go with white on white (WOW) so that you could focus on the image. I actually really luv doing WOW cards, think it just makes the image pop up don't you?

As you can see I decided to go with a linen textured cardstock for my WOW and coloured my image in with Copics. I then used most of my favourite dies, namely, doohickey swirl, doohickey flower and a Marianne Creatables which I layered the image onto with foam pads for extra dimension. The cluster I have used on top of the flower die is one that I received in my surprise package from Magnolia that I won off Mindy's blog a while back and I really love it, if anybody knows where I could purchase more of these could you please let me know as I've never actually seen them for sale.
