Just Magnolia: Pearls & Diecuts

It's Friday once again and we have another challenge at Just Magnolia.  

This week our theme is

Pearls and Dies/Diecuts

Use any die and add some pearls on your creations/card.  Today, I have a tag and I used Tilda with Daisies and Mushrooms from the Turning Leaves collection. A couple weeks ago, I used the same image but colored it with Distress Ink Reinkers.  This time I colored Tilda with my Copics. I colored this maybe 3-4 weeks ago. I was (and I still am) working on how to color hair with strands/texture... (or what ever they call it) Anyway, I was happy so far with the result but I know I still have to do major fine tuning on my coloring

The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The colors I used for this tag was inspired by one of the flowers on the project.  It's the flowers next to the chrysanthemums. The mixture of yellow and pink made me think of pink lemonade which is my favorite.  I also used a  Rectangle Doily Die from Lifestyle Crafts and a Magnolia DooHickey Vintage Tag.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts (retired, I think)

 

The branch and the leaves were cut using Cheery Lynn Dies

Now, it's time to pop over to Just Magnolia to see sore inspiration from my team mates. Then, link up your creations and don't for get to link back to us for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor!

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thank you for visiting and have a safe weekend!

Butterfly Paper Bag

Hiya! I hope everybody is doing well.  I managed to finish a paper bag decorated with  Tilda and butterflies.  This is Tilda with Uggs which is part of Australian Special that was released recently. 

For those of you not familiar with Ugg shoes, they are the most comfy shoes for cold weather. They are made in Australia. Unfortunately I don't own a women's Uggs. But  I have  couple of Kid's size 2 Uggs and I love em!

Now back to  my paper bag.  I colored Tilda with Copics. and the beautiful flowers are from
 Wild Orchid Crafts. I distressed the paper edges with a distressing tool, stained them, then stitched the edges with my sewing machine.

 Here's a closer look at Tilda!

Supplies used:

Tim Holtz On the Edge Butterflies

Sewing Box

Hi friends! I'm sorry I've been MIA for a while.

Today, I want to share with you a sewing box I made to store my Gutermann threads which I use for my sewing machine and for hand stitching.

I used Tailor Tilda and colored her with Copics. The Beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the lace and seam binding are from my stash. I got this paper mache box from Joann's Crafts.  I wrapped the box with Magnolia DP and edged the lid with lace.

I used an Oval Nestabilities and distressed it, used some cheese clothe painted with antique white acrylic paint. Some tiny wooden spools with ribbon and twine were added to finish it off.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog today!
