Magnolia Stamps :: Tilda in Purple

Candy candy candy? Who wants candy. Click here to try your to win so goooooods!
 Hello Tilda lovers!  Are you enjoying the lovely spring weather? Well, people down south of the Equator are enjoying a little cooling. My parents were roasting this past season. Now I am sure they are happy!
Anyway! Today I am sharing with you my lovely Petticoat Tilda and she comes dressed for the season. Sometimes I get bothered with plain color on my stamps and designs, so every now and then I try to create a little pattern. I am not sure how successful I was creating this plaid like top…I kind like the results. I think I will practice a little more : ). 

I opted to keep my embelishments simple because of the plaid in the background. Sometimes I feel that the card is naked without a little bling. HAHA. So, thanks to my trustworthy die cutter I was able to make my crazy idea come to life. I am not sure if I have a favorite part of this card, but if I had to choose I would pick the butterfly!  How about you? Drop a note! I am so glad I have made so many new friends and learned so much this way!
See ya’ll soon. Much luv

Magnolia Stamp :: Candy Happy!

Hello Everybody! I am so glad you are joining the fun at my Candy! Don't forget to put your name in the linkz! If you need help, check the helpline at the end of the post!

Well I am having a wonderful time reading all your comments. You have no idea how your words make me happy! It is so cool to visit you guys too! Now look who is also happy! My maggie! This is my latest idea. I used copics to color the magnolia stamp and also to create a little background for my little gal! I used what they call the blob method, heheh (have you read ilikemarkers blog?) to create most of the leaves and flowers. This was the first opportunity that I had to use my airbrush sys. Actually the copic airbrush feature actually was one of the first things that called my attention to these markers.
I got a little copic happy and I forgot to list my colors! So forgive me! If you have any questions about colors let me know (just use the shout out box on the side or leave me a comment). I will be more than happy to share!
I will add a a little This & That latter, okay? Thanks for dropping me a note!
XO

Coffee, Cookies and Copic :: I was Knighted

Yes!!!!!!!!! I was knighted by Sally (she is the sweetest thing!). I am now a Copic certified designer. I am joking about the knight thing hahha...but you that now hold that holly badge know the feeling : ). 

I travel a lot to get to that class and I had good time. My classmates were fun and very participative, lots of good questions were posted at the Q&A. I learned a lot and had a lot of insights and aha's moments! At the end of the day I was tired but with a good feeling that I was taking home a lot of good ideas and knowledge! 
I am in the mood to celebrate! I think I am ready to reveal my candy pic! I was adding goodies in the mean time : ). Come back to the reveal at the end of this week! Cheers!

Magnolia stamp :: All dressed up for the occasion!

Oi (hello in Portuguese!) everyone!
Well, my Maggie collection is fairly small...so I try my best to dress them up!

Remember the days the ladies wore white gloves? My inspiration came from that time. So for this card I spruce up my Maggie! I am thinking to send this card as a Birthday card..I got a friend that she loved dress up!

Check it out the hat veil! I am in a quest to use different ways of coloring...and this time I tried to keep my colors fairly muted. I just really loved the possibilities that all those yummy Copic colors offered (it is pricey, but oh worth it!).
 I would  love to hear what you guys think! How do you like the make over?
Thanks for dropping by!
See ya!

Yeah, you got it right! One of you will receive one of the hottest magazines in the world of stamping today! Thanks Cindy! I am soooo excited for you all!!!

When I came across the theme for this new challenge..one thing came to my mind...coffee, chocolate and a romantic set! So I said: "Why not Paris?!" (of course the dog was looking at me like...what the hell?!!). The next step was to look thru my clear stamps and find images to create the background. I was hoping to set the cafe mood for my Maggie. I also had an opportunity to create some hand made embellishments to give a little extra charm...I really had the best time making this little cup of espresso and a chocolate bar. Well, I guess now I better crank up the espresso machine! See y'all at MSL challenge!
