"Be Merry" - DT Magnolia
This one of the DT Christmas cards I submitted to Magnolia Ink that wasn't chosen. I used a SU sentiment instead of a Magnolia one ..so it didn't qualify. But...I am so Happy to have 3 of my cards published in the Magazine!!

I've colored the image with Prismacolor pencils (OMS) and Twinkling h20's to deepen the shade and add a little sparkle, SU close to cocoa marker. Delta Acrylic white paint for detail dots. Finished card is 6x6"
For the background around the image...I masked the bench and used a soft brush to add SU barely banana. Tilda is attached with foam popups.
Paper: - Cardstock - Bazill (green, red), Georgia Pacific (white), Basic Grey "Wassail" Ink: - Memento black, SU creamy caramel and barely banana, close to cocoa marker.

DT Magnolia - Spooky Happy Halloween!! - Monthly DT Challenge
This DT card is also created for the DT Magnolia Challenge the very talented Camilla has set for this month. Camilla challenges the Magnolia DT members to use at least 3 stamps on a card or creation. Thanks for the fun challenge Camilla!!
I used 6 "Magnolia" stamps on this card!! This card was a challenge for me as well because of the size it is. Included in my Magnolia Dt kit was a black card base 8.5" wide x 5.5"height... (21.5 cm wide x 14 cm height). A size a bit out of my comfort zone...so it took a little longer than usual..lol.
The stamps I used are "HV08 Tilda with Spider" - Halloween & Autumn Collection 2008 - "Hoo7 Bat and Hoo7 Iron Fence" - Magnolia's Fall Stamps 2007 - "HW09 Hellbroth - HWo9 Happy Halloween and HW09 Spooky Pumpkin" - all from the new So Spooky Collection 2009.
The images are colored with copics under the prismacolor pencils and a touch h20's to deepen the shade and add a little sparkle. *(Please remember.....do not use copics over prismacolor pencils or the wax from the pencils will ruin your copic tips!)*
The colors in the background were just brushed across with a soft brush. Tilda witch, Hellbroth and the bat on the moon are all attached with foam pop ups. The moon, sentiment and pumpkin are glued to the image panel and attached to the back panel with foam popups. The netting is just a tape used for dry walling. The orange fabric on top is cut from a Dollarama fabric Halloween bag. The spider and webs are from dollarama as well. I've added glitter, stickles and shimmerz here and there. The patterned papers are all from Magnolia's So Spooky Collection and can be found at retailers like "the Little Stamp Shoppe"
Ink - memento black, SU - marigold morning, bordering blue, perfect plum, close to cocoa. Papers - GP white, Magnolia, SU old olive. Accessories - raffia, dry wall netting tape, rick rack (magnolia), spider, fabric Halloween bag, glitter, stickles, shimmerz, stitching, MS border punch, acrylic white paint.
Have a Spooky Fabulous Day Everyone!!..and Thank You So Much for your Wonderful comments!!

Tilda is raised on foam pop ups. I stamped and colored the little kitties head separately and used a pop up to attach it. The sentiment is popped up as well. I only used part of the Magnolia swing...and added little brads and bows to the top of the ropes.

"You're So Sweet" - Lazy Summer Days Collection 2009
I am actually in time for a couple of challenges with this card....The Fabulous "sketch" at Friday Sketchers and the fun theme being "at the sea" at Stamp with Fun.
The stamps I have used for this card are "LZ09 Bathing Ring" - "LZ09 Beach Tilda" - "LZ09 Post Strawberry" all from Magnolia's Lazy Summers Day Collection 2009
Again I've I colored the image with copics for base, prismacolor pencils and h20's to deepen the shade and add a little sparkle. *(Please remember.....do not use copics over prismacolor pencils or the wax from the pencils will ruin your copic tips!)*
Tilda has been masked off so she could sit on the bathing ring. To create the sentiment...I also masked off the adjoining works on the You're So Sweet stamp so I could stamp them out separately...then just tore around them and inked the edges with SU Creamy Caramel ink. I used nesties for the circle and scalloped layer and attached the image circle with foam pop ups onto the scalloped layer. There is shimmerz (Angel wings) brushed on the flowers along the bottom of the image.
Ink - memento black, bashful blue, creamy caramel. Paper - GP white, basic grey "Euphoria", Michael's, bazill cs. Accessories - flowers, lace, glitter brads, shimmerz, ribbon, nesties, stitching, acrylic paint for detail dots.
Exciting News!!...Magnolia is coming out with their very own Magazine called "Magnolia Ink"!!...the first issue should be out within a few months....So keep an eye out for it!!!
