Tilda with Hawaiian Flower

Good morning! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday planned.

We are hoping for a nice quiet day. We put our youngest son (20 months) in his 'big boy bed' for the first time last night as he is a rather large boy and was just too big for his cot :) So of course, we had a little bit of a sleepless night. He may have looked too big for his cot, but wow, he looks so little in his bed. Such a gorgeous little cherub :)

Anyway, you're here to see a card! This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we have a fantastic sketch to play with by gorgeous Jane.  I've used cute little "Tilda with Hawaiian flower" and "Tulip Walkway" both from the new Butterfly Dreams collection. 

The papers are American Crafts and I've used a pretty 5 inch paper doily to frame Miss Tilda. Both images are coloured with Copics (of course). I really love Tilda's hair on this new stamp. So pretty!  I've gone a little bit shabby with my card, distressing the edges. I'm not really a massive fan of this but the paper I've used is a tad plain and I thought it would just dress the card up a bit.

The pink cherry blossom, cream rose and mini roses are all from Wild Orchid Crafts. The Butterflies are punched with my MS punch and the swirls are the Magnolia Doo Hickey Die.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hugs xx

Roarrrrr!

Hi there! I am with a little bit of a cute card I made for The Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenges.

This month we have a fantastic sketch to play with by our gorgeous Ingrid.  I have inked up the cutie pie Lion stamp and masked him in front of the Tip leaves, both from the Pets and Animals Collection 2009. I'm not a big fan of masking, lol. I always end up with wonky scenes :) so I generally cut out my images instead. Yes, I know, I'm lazy :) I should get out my stamp a ma jig shouldn't I?  Well... I do love the result this time so I will just have to do that in the future.

The fun papers are MME Fine and Dandy "True Blue", perfect for this particular stamp I think. The sentiment is also Magnolia and the little zig zag edge on the blue cardstock is a new Magnolia doo hickey die.  Umm... what else did I want to tell you .... Oh! I've stamped the images in Memento Rich Cocoa instead of Tuxedo Black. Makes for a nice little change for an animal doesn't it? Normally I only do that if I want to make a more vintagey style card.

So thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend everyone!

Magnolia Down Under Challenges turns 2 years old!

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by to see me today.

I made this card for the Magnolia Down Under Challenges second birthday blog hop. How amazing that our little challenge is already two years old :) The challenge this week is "twos" so anything in groups of two...

For my card...I have used two images, two sheets of gorgeous Pion Design papers (a gift from my gorgeous friend Louise), both sides, two cherry blossoms, two asters, two rows of hearts.... umm...lol, I think that will do!

The stamps are "Tilda with Hanging Rabbit" from the new Butterfly Dreams collection and also the Spring Fence from the Hoppy Easter collection 2010.

Check out the amazing papers!!

I've coloured the images with Copics, and I was lucky enough to get a set of the 12 new colours and have had a ball using some of them on my card. The new E 81 and E87 are fantastic earthy green/brown tones and I've used them on the fence along with my favourite earth tones. The new BG 70 I used for the sky.

And just one more photo for fun :)

If you would like to play along with the challenge, you can check out the details on the Magnolia Down Under Challenges blog.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hugs, Kylie xx
