Shabby Chic at Simply Magnolia

Time for a brand new challenge at Simply Magnolia and I'm very proud to say it is sponsored by us at

 This time the challenge is to create something following the Shabby Chic style. Think of lace, ribbon, flowers(lots of them) and pale colours with white. It would have to be one of my favourite styles for home decorating but in my house things would never stay clean!

I have used 'Tilda in Rubber Boots' and paper pierced her dress and hat. The remainder of the image was coloured with copics. Paper from My Mind's Eye, Lost & Found BLUSH paper pad.
Die is the new Spellbinders Picot egde circle.

Tilda with Flowerpot

Hello, hope all is well. Today I have a new card to share using 'Tilda with Flowerpot'.

For this card I have made my own background paper for the Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge and had quite a bit of fun doing it. After 3 different stamps, 3 different inks, versamark, clear embossing powder and my heat gun, below is what I came up with.

Tilda was coloured with copics. For her jacket I used BG70, 72 & 75.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Dies is Spellbinders beaded oval.

Anything Goes at Simply Magnolia

This week at Simply Magnolia our challenge is nice & easy 'Anything Goes' and you have a chance to win a prize pack of colour core paper from De Egel Kaartenmakerij. I hope you can join us.

 I have made a pocket card for a gift voucher and note, therefore the 2 tags. I have used Tilda goes Shopping stamp, Whimsy text stamp and a new Stempelglede stamp on the edges. Papers are from Lost and Found 'Rosy' paper pad. I really like this one and may just have to get another!  

Tilda has been coloured with Copics but it was quite awhile ago so all I can remember is that I used RV00, R81, R83 & R85 for her top/shoes/bag. W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9 and tip to tip method with a little black. I've also added some stickles to her bling!

A card for Lily

Hi everyone, hope you're all enjoying a lovely day. Last night I had a 1st birthday card to make and of course I'd left it to the last minute! I came across this sweet digi stamp from Wee stamps and Suzi is just so cute I had to create a card with her on it for a sweet little girl called Lily.

DPs are Gossomer from Memory Box, heart swirl die from Magnolia, lace from stash, flowers are a mix of Prima and Wild Orchid crafts. Not a huge amount of extras on this one as I didn't want to distract to much from the image.

I have of course coloured with copics!
