Magnolia-licious/Wee Stamps Dt - Use Vellum in a fun and creative way

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

Do please pop over and take a look at the wonderful work the fabulous DT have created for you this week.  Our sponsor for this challenge is the lovely Diana who will be sending the winner a special surprise.

Thank you for popping in to visit,  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Creative Corner Challenge:  Clean and simple this week, this is really clean for me, not a flower or resin embellishment in sight. lol

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. 

Please do pop over and take a peek at the fabulous examples the sweet Tildarettes have created for you this week.  They are stunning.  

Wishing you all a wonderful day

This adorable Game on Edwin is from the Once Upon a Time Spring release 2013 and he is so cute, you can find him over at Magnolia-licious Stamps .  I've used my Flex markers to colour him. I've also used the balloon stamp from sweet crazy love collectin 2012 I only used the traditional balloon and not the heart one.  Just stamped it 4 times and cut them out, adding coloured thread to each one.

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. 

For my card I've used two adorable Magnolia mini stamps from Magnolia-licious Stamps and a couple of doohickey dies also available over at Magnolia-licious Stamps. 

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. 

As always I will pop a list of ingredients for you with links where possible at the bottom of my post.

Don't forget to go leave some love for my sweet friends over on the DT post at Magnolia-licious, you could be in with the chance of winning a lovely mystery gift from our very generous Diana if your comment is chosen as the Random winner.
