Christmas in July

Morning all!

Hope we are all ok and having a lovely day? Cool start here in the Pilbara but looks like it could shape up to be a nice day once the heavy dew goes.

Today I am here with a Christmas card! Yep already! But kinda suits the fresh weather up here!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenge-

Deep Ocean Challenge Blog - Two stamped images
Marvelous Magnolia Challenge blog - Use Kraft paper
Live and Love Crafts Challenge blog - Christmas in July
The Ribbon Girls Blog - Anything goes with the option stars and stripes
Noor! Design UK- Something old, something new- My old is my Magnolia Ink cloud flower, had forever and my new is the Memory Box star die on the left hand side of the card in the photo.

So for this card I used two images, Little Cute Tilda and the Flower cloud. These were masked together and then coloured with Distress inks.

The papers are from the ever gorgeous Maja Design. Cant help but love them! they are beautiful!

The dies are a mix of Magnolia, Impression Obsession and Go Kreate. For the Kraft paper element I used the Santa and his sleigh die from Impression Obsession.  On all the dies I added metallic crackle paint from Tim Holtz- on the blue there is 'Brushed Pewter' and on the Kraft paper ' Tarnished Brass'. I love these metallic colours. So rich and gorgeous!!! I must  admit 'Tarnished Brass' is like liquid gold when you look at it! Swooooooon! I also added a Magnolia die to the inside of the craft in Kraft paper.

I used Ribbon from my stash and the lace is from Live and Love Crafts, it is a subtle grey with some bling on it, perfect for the colour combo I was going for.  The flowers are the gorgeous WOC as are the holly leaves which I added behind. In among the flowers you will see some bead and these are from a flourish pack from Prima which i snipped off.

On the image itself, I added some 'Frosted Lace' glitter glue to Tilda's bobble on her hat, her cuffs on sleeves and pants but also the cloud to give it some shimmer.

To finish off, I used a bling rhinestone brad and a little stocking charm.

Hope you have a lovely day!

Magnolia Forever - Summer, sun and sand
Boutique Magnolia- Anything goes
The ABC Challenge blog - 'M' is for Magnolia

So for this card I used 'Ahoy there Tilda' she is ready for a day on her boat in the sunny weather- wish we could join her eh!

The papers I used are the ever fabulous Maja Design 'By the sea' I love the reds and blues in this collection. I coloured Tilda with Copics. The wood and the pelican are from WOW chipboard and these were covered in Distress Crackle paint. I wanted that weathered seaside look. I liked the wood as it looks kinda draft boardy!

The buttons are from Dress it up, and are so cool!!! these come in lots and lots of different themes! I love them!

The dies are a mix of Magnolia and Impression Obsession. The sentiment is from Magnolia.

Behind the image I added cheesecloth as wanted it to be a fishing net and added a shell and a pearl to it. The Dress it up buttons are tied along some twine, I used crustaceans as Tilda was out fishing on her boat!

Hope you like her!

Magnolia Mania - GDT- Pimp Something!!!

Well hi there!!

Today I am here with something a bit different as part of the GDT at Magnolia Mania. The challenge this time is to 'Pimp something' so we want to see you take something old/used and make it into a work of beauty lol.

So for mine I used an old plain white paper gift bag

And I stamped 'Summer wedding Tilda' and coloured her with Distress inks. I used paper from Maja and dies from Magnolia and Sizzix. I added some lace to the bottom to give the bag a frill. I used some blue ribbon with white poker dots on it about a piece of cream lace. Some cheese cloth behind the hand made roses. I tied red and white striped bakers twine to the tags and around the handles of the bag I wrapped blue and white bakers twine and with the same coloured tied a 'handmade' hand. 

The sentiment is from LOTV. 

Hope you like it! It my very first one and defo not my last!!!

Virgo Tilda

Hiyyyyaaa!!!

Today I am here with a card using the gorgeous 'Virgo Tilda'. Weather is rather fresh outside so happily colouring to keep warm!

The challenges I would like to enter my card into are the following-

Tilda's Town Neighbourhood challenge blog - Any shape
Magnolia-licious - things with wings
Midweek Magnolias- Anything goes
Boutique Magnolia- Anything goes
Simply Magnolia- Anything goes

So I coloured the cute 'Virgo Tilda' with distress inks.  I used Maja design papers- what a shock! I loved this colour combo together, its just cute!!!

Since the 'things with wings' challenge at Magnolia-Licious was inspired by a new die, I thought instead of using an image with a 'thing with wings' I would use a die and a charm- so I used the cute Magnolia birds die from the Doohickey club and a dragon fly charm. Just to be a bit different!

The dies are all Magnolia except for the shape of the card which is Go Kreate. The ribbon which just peaks out along with the lace from behind the image is from my stash. The shabby chic binding is from Live and Love Crafts.  I used flowers from WOC. To add some sparkle some flat back pearls were used along with a pearl brad, a rhinestone brad and some flat back pearls and rhinstones. I like my sparkle!

The sentiment is off a stamp from La La Land Crafts.

Finally, I used Gesso all over the flowers and die cuts.

Hope you have a lovely day.

Tilda with Koala

Good morning !

Hope we are all well and keeping warm! sounds like the weather is crazy on both sides of the world at the moment. This card is inspired by my citizenship ceremony next month, finally I am going to be an Aussie citizen. So this is my card for the special occasion!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-

Bunny Zoe Crafts  - Furry Friends
Marvelous Magnolia Challenge Blog- Twine or Ribbon
Time for a Magnolia Challenge- Special occasion
lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia- Pearls or gems - I used a gem stone brad.
Midweek Magnolias- Anything goes

For this card I used the very cute 'Tilda with Koala' isnt she adorable with her cuddly fuzzy friend! Love the smile on the little Koala's face! I coloured Tilda and her fuzzy friend with Distress Inks. The papers are from the Kaisercraft collection ' Timesless Classic' . I liked these for this image as I wanted the colours of where I live in the Pilbara in Western Australia- lots of browns, sand coloured tones.

I used Kaisercraft card stock for the brown and orange leaves, these colours suit up here prefectly. The dies are Magnolia, and the shape of the card is from Go Kreate.

I didnt add any flowers as this reminds me of what its like with the trees at the moment, they are losing lots of there leaves and turning a gorgeous orange.

I added a little Koala charm to the fence, isnt he a cutie pie!

The gemstone that I added is a brad, in a subtle gorgeous green.

Hope you have a lovely day!
