Bildmalarna stamp :: Come and garden with me!

 Hey everybody! Our latest challenge over Bildmalarna blog is Red, Blue and yellow. I don’t know why my these combo just screamed gardening to me. Dirty jean with a nice little patch, a cool nice men’s shirt to keep down the mosquito bites but never loosing the femininity…nice sweet red shoes and yellow tiara! How do you like my little Gardner? Isn’t she precious?

I tried to keep this card simple, like I really can right? lol I decided to to a very colorful background for my Gardner. I used sizzix embossing folder and colored the flowers one by one. Yesss I am a nut! But I love color! I had to do it! And just because I was in the mood I added layers of this adorable Martha Stewart doily die cut plus a little bling bling!

So let’s make our corner of the work a little happier and a little more colorful join us for the challenge! I cannot wait what you will come up with! See yall soon! I need to check on my petunias!

much luv’

Magnolia Stamp :: Special moments :: 1st Eucharist

 Hello lovelies! I hope everybody is keeping busy enjoying their spring weather…or fall for our friends down south!

All right! “I feel good” just like James Brown! I am in the mood now to look into my stamped images and future buys from outside of the box. What does that mean? Well, it means give a new meaning to an image that was meant originally for another theme. In my new card I used Magnolia Wedding couple B. I simple cut out little Maggie out of the couple set ( I saved Edwin image for later…ha! Wait and see!) and dressed her up for her First Eucharist! I got my inspiration from my childhood friends. Growing up I had so many friends going thru this very important moment in their life, the 1st Eucharist. To create the look I wanted I made some adaptations to my Maggie. First I cut of the head crown then created a single flower bouquet with a cross (ideas of a little rosary). The flower is prima and the cross are glass bugle and pearl bead.  I added a little sparkle, to give a youth full but kept together for the occasion.

Oh yes, I have to mention that this is the very first time I am showcasing a little creation with my L letter press! I LOVE THIS THING!!! It is so chic…Seriously, when you use the cotton/paper and the de bossed look from the letter press, the card just reach new levels! I am definitely putting this baby more to use.  I just loved the polished background. This tool is a must for serious paper crafter.

My cross is a die cut from the silhouette library (resized and reshaped). I loved the way this cross came out. I first used my copics to bring some dimension then I applied embossing powder just in the cross itself, so the center of my cross  would stand out. On the surrounding swirls, I colored again with copics and played around with some shades and glamour dust…I was looking into bring a very regal and jewel like feel to the motif. One of the things I wanted to do is to add lots of dimension to this card, so it would feel like a little memento from the occasion itself.

So what did I learn? From now on I am getting stamps that can make my imagination fly away with ideas. Magnolia couple B for sure is one of them! How about you? Are you going to give a try into “new ways”?

Come and join us at Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge! This week we are all about dimensions! See you there!

Much luv
