Tilda with Daisy for Stamp & Create Product Spotlight : Basic Grey

Hello Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  It's Monday and the card I'm going to share with you is my DT project for Stamp and Create Product Spotlight.

This week our Product Spotlight is
Basic Grey Products

I used Tilda with Daisy stamp and colored her with Distress Ink Reinkers.  I used Basic Grey Olivia 6x6 Paper pad.  The flowers are CC Designs Christmas Bulbs Border Die and CC Designs Leaves. I also used Basic Grey Eva brads for the sentiment. The sentiment is AmyR Fence sentiments.

This is a simple flat card with a tag insert at the back for a message. I colored the image with Distress Ink Re-inkers on Arches WC HP 140lbs paper.

 

Here's a closer look at the flowers.

Have a great day!

Hugs,

Mae

Sweet Princess

Hi stamping friends and Maggie lovers! It has been a while since I last submitted a card for a challenge.  I have not sat down to color for a while because I have been cleaning, arranging, re-arranging, organizng and re-organizing my craft area.  I really need space and lots of it but it's the one thing that I can't have enough of....argh!

Finally, I actually got to finish this card today.  This image is from the latest collection of Magnolia Stamps: Sweet Princess Tilda and I colored her with Distress Ink Reinkers.

Edwin with Airplane

Happy Friday everybody! Wow, it has been a while since I posted here. I haven't done much coloring lately and I think I have deprived myself of that. LOL Earlier this week we had friends from Michigan who came for a short visit and gave them a tour and view of Lake Michigan from our side of the lake (Chicago).  It was fun having them around.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Today, I'm sharing with an easel card with an image from the latest Magnolia Collection called Edwin with Airplane.  When this collection came out, this was the first image that caught my attention. My son, Edriann LOVES airplanes. And this image reminds me of the time when he started his airplane collection.  When he saw the stamp, he wanted me to make a card using this stamp, with no flowers, nothing pink and no girly things...LOL

 

 

I used White Liquid Applique for the clouds but I kinda over heated it and burnt it a little bit so I painted over some acrylic paint to make everything white :)

Supplies used:

Distress Ink Reinkers

Basic Grey Oliver Paper Pad

Magnolia Stamps: Edwin w/ airplane, Log, background

Doohickey Grass

Tim Holtz clip & ticket adage

Have a great Weekend, everyone!

 

Hugs,

Stamp & Create DT card

Hi Everybody! I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend!
My internet connection has been so frustrating lately due to some repairs being done in one of the main lines in the subdivision. I am hoping to have a better and faster connection soon.

I didn't get much coloring done yesterday. And today, we had some visitors for Michigan.  A good friend of ours (bestman at our wedding) and his family came for a short visit so we brought them to see our side of Lake Michigan.  The weather was great and the kids had fun too.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Last Friday, I received an email from Lacey Stephens, owner of Stamp and Create. She offered me a spot on the Design Team! WOW!  It is such an honor to be on the team! Stamp and Create was one of my fave webstores.  Thank you, Ladies for making me part of the team.

A beautiful Tuesday to you all.  It is such a wonderful day here in Chicago.  Today, my stitches come out and I'm excited about it because it means I'm done with the first step of the 1st phase. Still a long way to go but I'm inching my way there :)

Have you had a a song stuck in your head and you just can't stop singing it? How about a scene or a picture? After I can across  the Colour Create Challenge Blog, I just can get the inspiration photo out of my head.  This is my 2nd entry. The color combo is 

DEEP PURPLE, BRIGHT GREEN & CREAM

Other Challenges:
Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes 

 I went thru all my stash and I did find a couple of things I can use for this challenge. And this is what I came up with!

 All the flowers are from Wild Ortchid Crafts.

Ribbons, charms, lace, doily, strings from my stash.

 I used the Magnolia Doohickey: Heart Swirl for the ballet shoes. Yes, I turned the other one over!

 I colored Tilda using Copics for my base ( E000, V91, E23, G24) and  Albrecht Durer WC Pencils and Gamsol. Distress Inks for background shadow: Milled Lavender.
