Just Magnolia and Wags ‘n Whiskers DT Cards

 

The challenge on Just Magnolia this week is Hot and Spicy – now you can interpret this as you wish, either Hot as in summer, weather, colours or Spicy as food, colours, or both together.  Don’t forget that you can combine our challenge with any other challenges of your choice as long as the main image on your creation is a Magnolia stamp you will qualify to be in the draw for the fab prize. And remember NO back linking, new projects/cards only please.

I have gone for hot as in Summer but have used red as a Hot colour too.  Sweet little Tilda is sitting on her sugar sack keeping cool eating her lolly and waiting for Edwin, how could he resist her looking as pretty as this.  I NEVER use copics to colour Tilda  but after seeing some of the beautiful cards made by my fellow DT members I thought I would give it a go and I am quite pleased with the result, may have to do this again.  The sentiment and Sugar sack are both Magnolia Stamps the Paper is also from Magnolia.  The White medium Curly Rose, Red Cherry Blossom and small white tea roses and rose buds are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Now for my other DT Card 

This week's challenge is hosted by ubber talented Melanie and her challenge is: Handcrafted Embellishment!!
Get creative and get crafty this week!!
Just remember that you must use a Wags 'n Whiskers stamps to be entered into the drawing for ONE FREE WAGS 'N WHISKERS STAMP OF YOUR CHOICE!!

Back to Distress Inks for this card, I love this sweet Sister Image from Wags-n-Whiskers these little girls are based on Nikki’s 2 girls Zoe and Hannah and it makes me smile every time I look at it.   The papers are from DCWV Linen Closet and they are just Yummy!!!!!, the Handmade element on the card are the flowers.  The little Adage ticket is by Tim Holtzs.

JUST MAGNOLIA CHALLENGE

This week we are sponsored by the lovely Tracy of Dies to die for.

Our challenge this week is a sketch provided by Jane. You can rotate and or flip the sketch, as long as we can still see the basic sketch on your creation. Don’t forget that you can combine our challenge with any other challenges of your choice as long as the main image on your creation is a Magnolia stamp you will qualify to be in the draw for the fab prize. And remember NO back linking, new projects/cards only please.

The winner will be chosen by Random Generator next week so to be in the running all you need to do is ensure you have at least one Magnolia image on your card and link your card (not your blog) in Mr Linky and have your card posted by 8pm UK time next Thursday 27th May.

This is one of those cards that I am really really unhappy with, but I just have not got time to do another one, I don’t know what it is about this card UI dislike so much!! but it certainly doesn't do justice to Janes lovely sketch.

I have used magnolia papers and distress inks, I think it must be the colours I don’t like, you know me a real pastel girl, and I also creased the waterproof paper when I was try to shape Tilda. Wild Orchid Crafts flowers have been used as usual, and I cannot get enough of the Martha Stewart Star Punch, I lurve it.

WAGS N WHISKERS CHALLENGE

It is my turn to host the challenge this week so I have chosen the theme "Just Good Friends". You can either make a card using one our images with two characters, or you can just make a card for a friend. I am leaving the challenge open to interpretation. Just remember that you must use a Wags 'n Whiskers stamps.

Distress Inks have been used again for this one and also the obligatory Wild Orchid Crafts roses. The papers are from my scarp drawer and the Martha Stewart half daisy punch has been used for the borders. I think this is my favourite of the new Wags N Whiskers release and that Ice cream looks so scrummy and just what I need up here in the eves where I am absolutely melting.

I am away on business for the next couple of days, but have managed to get my DT cards done for today and tomorrow so have scheduled them to post.  This gorgeous Fairy Dust Tilda was a Pressie from my dear friend Bev, thanks hunny.  I have coloured her with Distress Inks as usual.  The paper is by Magnolia, I am so pleased they decided to do matching papers they are fabulous, Talkung about papers have you been over to Bearly Mine designs Donna has some awesome digi downloadable papers, 3 great sets I had to have them all.  The flowers and Ribbon are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I thought I would let you know the colours I used for Tildas Dress it was a mixture of Chipped Sapphire and Shabby Shutters and was almost a prfect match for the papers.

I’m forever Blowing Bubbles

 

Hope you all had a good weekend, and are looking forward to a great week.  decided to have a go with my Tim Holts Re-inkers again, I know I keep on about them but I am so pleased I found them on the Crafters Companion website as they are just such a joy.

Today I decided to enter Sketch Saturday with this card, if ever I am stuck for ideas I know I will find a great sketch on there, thanks girls.

I have used Milled lavender and Chipped Sapphire DI to colour Tildas dress and wings, and have added lots of Glamour Dust which has not shown up very well.  The lovely papers are by Magnolia from Crafts U Love.  That gorgeous large Rose is one of the new ones that Paul has uploaded to the Wild Orchid Crafts  Website, I wish it had photographed better it is scrumptious.

Right off to get the washing on line.
