Midweek Magnolias DT #59 Lovely Lace

Hello my dears,  I hope you are all well and are having a lovely week so far.  It's time for another fabulous challenge over at

MIDWEEK MAGNOLIAS

This week we have the theme of Lovely Lace for you.  I don't know anyone who doesn't own at least half a dozen different types of lace.  I love using it on my creations.  

Today, this utterly adorable Sweet Pea Tilda is making her debut.  I know I say this every time a new collection is released but I love this Once Upon a Time collection.   Tilda has been coloured with Copics and Derwent soft pencils and I've decoupaged her sweet little hat.

I've used lots of new products on my card this week, not just my sweet pea Tilda but Prima Fairy Rhymes paper collection and Wild orchid Crafts new mixed bundle of pink flowers. My little buttons are a Marianne Designs die but I've cut out 5 of them and just glued them on top of each, painted them with white Gee-Sso and finished off with some distress crackle paint - clear rock candy.  My Magnolia doohickey wings die cuts have been heat embossed with Fran-tage shabby pink, butterfly's are from a MS punch and my lace is from my stash.

Do please pop over and take a look at the amazing creation the Girls on Team B have made for you this week, they are just fabulous.

Good morning my dears,  Well it's Tuesday and it's Team B here to remind you that we are midway through our current challenge over at 

MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS/WEE STAMPS  

Our theme is to use Vellum on your creation in a fun way.  I've used a sheet of vellum from Websters pages as part of my background paper for sweet Pearl Tilda to sit on. 

This Tilda is from last years Summer memories collection and I've also used the butterfly's from the Once Upon a Time collection 2013.  I stamped them out on vellum 3 times, cut them out and used them to layer up and give a lovely 3d effect adding glamour dust to the very top one. 

All my Magnolia stamps are available over at Magnolia-licious stamps. Butterfly's here 

and Pearl Tilda here

Totally Tilda Dt #70 Midway Reminder

Good morning all,  Just a reminder that our challenge is still ongoing over at 

Totally Tilda

The theme is Heat Embossing.  I've used sweet Tilda with butterfly  from the new Once Upon a Time collection and I also stamped out the butterfly's then cut them out, added a little pink and black chalk  before coating them in glossy accents.  My heat embossing element is just scattered around tilda with some shabby pink Fran-tage and I embossed the die cut behind with shabby white Fran-tage. 

My papers are Lyric from the new range of Prima papers, Flowers are also prima.  The hand made rosette and the sentiment are from the same range of papers. I used a Martha Stewart RTP punch to give my card a nice edgy look.

Magnolia-licious Mini Monday

Hello my dears,  Welcome to another fabulous

 Magnolia-licious Mini Monday 

The lovely Eulanda, Cabio, Julie and myself have created a little something to show you just how fabulous these adorable Mini Magnolia stamps are.

First is the adorable Carousel Horse #433 and sitting on top is the sweet Circus Tilda #367 Both have been coloured with a mixture of Copics and Derwent soft pencils.  My doohickey dies are the swirls from swirls and leaves and the border lace die (which still remains one of my favs)  as you can see I've treated my fleur de lis die to a little Fran-tage using shabby blue and a tiny amount around the edges of my image.
