Stamp and Create with Magnolia Challenge: Spring with Ribbons

It's time for another challenge at Stamp and Create with Magnolia.

Our new theme is

SPRING with RIBBONS

Here, I used Happy Easter Tilda from the Little Easter Collection. And as I was going thru my 6x6 paper packs, I saw one old/retired MME paper pad and I thought it would be a nice to use it for the image I chose.  I actually made 3 other sentiments for this card because the image is so versatile that you can use it for any "happy" occasion.

I used DIs to color Tilda and the swirl stamp is also from Magnolia. I really love the older stamps especially the accessory and background stamps and this swirl stamp is one of my favorites.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used Viva Decor Pearl Pens for the pearls.

The ribbon is from my stash and so is the lace, brad and charm. The DooHickey dies I used were Scalloped Stitched Lace and Tea Label Tags

Another Friday has come! Time for another challenge at Tilda's Town. Our challenge for this week is

Fussy and Fancy (F&F) or  Understated and Elegant U&E

These last few weeks, I have been making CAS or U&E cards. This week alone, all the cards I posted were CAS ... or what I refer to as "no embellies" cards.  And this is my 5th one for the week.

Edwin with Daffodil is colored using Distress Ink Reinkers. The DP is from Simply Story and I just love the shades of green here.  I used my fave tool Perfect Layering Rulers to achieve those neat borders.

I just love Edwin's over-alls.  Over-alls  were my favorite when I was a kid. We called it jumpers.

We can't wait to see what you have created for this week's challenge. Link up your creations and be sure to link back to us. For more inspiration from my team mates, please pop over to

Tilda with Mr. Rooster

Hello again.  This is my second post for today and this time I have

 Tilda with Mr. Rooster from the Little Easter Collection

I'd like to remind you that our theme for the Monthly Challenge at Stamp and Create is

OK, so here's Tilda with Mr. Rooster. But I like to call him Franklin.  He reminds me of the chickens we had back in the Philippines.  A few years ago, we went back home to the Philippines for a month long vacation.  And whenever we go home, my ultimate goal is to eat everything that I can't eat or buy here in the States. The local fruits, delicacies, my Auntie Marina's dishes and some native chicken soup or dish.

Our family friend brought us sweet potatoes, cooking bananas, huge mangoes,  jack fruit and all kinds of native fruits. He also brought us 4 native young chickens. Yes, live chickens...2 females and 2 males. And I thought, this is gonna be 4 delicious chicken dishes. (OK I'm not going to all the gory details about how a live chicken would end up in our dinner table)

As soon as my son saw the chickens, (he was 6  at that time) he was so excited too.  But my excitement was different. I could smell the aroma of my favorite chicken soup just looking at the chickens.  And I couldn't wait to get those chickens in the pot.

The following day, I heard my son playing and talking to the chickens and giving them names.  Chickie, Kenny, Daisy and Franklin. Franklin had red and black feathers.  As soon as I heard their names, I knew I was never gonna see those chickens in the pot. He played with them everyday...fed them, and  took care of them. He even reminded us every day not to hurt his chickens. Whenever he found feathers on the ground, he would interrogate everyone and ask "Who pulled out the feathers? And whoever did it should put them back!"

My son loved the chickens especially Franklin. He begged me to bring Franklin with us back to the States.  And he even offered to share his passport.

At the end, I never got my chicken soup. And the memory of Franklin and the gang still remains.

Anyway, back to my card.

I colored the image with Distress Ink Reinkers and I use 2-3 different colors for the feathers.
 And I also added some sparkle using Spica pens.

Skin: Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo

Hair: Walnut Stain

Dress/Bow/Shoes: Aged Mahogany, Fired Brick, Black Soot

Rooster: Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany, Wild Honey, Black Soot, Broken China

Back ground: Antique Linen

Wild Orchid Crafts for the flowers and  I also rolled up some roses. I used Glimmer Mist on the red rose. The feathers, lace, ribbon and seam binding are all from my stash.
DP is from MME Miss Caroline Dilly Dally
