Hiya

It's Birthday time over ar Deep Ocean this fortnight and all we want you to do is include Happy Birthday somewhere on your card!

The challenge worked out perfect for me as I had a Birthday card to make for my gorgeous niece who is 13 this week!! 'Terrible Teens!!'

Ive coloured Tilda with DI's, slightly darker than normal to give a Autumnal look. Papers are Maja Design.

Fot the flowers Ive rolled my own flower and added pine cones which I picked up from the gorgeous Bolton Abbey and added the leaves using Tim's Alteration Die 'Autum Gatherings' and a few sprigs!!!

Magnolia Doo-Hickeys I have used are Vintage Lace, bunting flags and scalloped tag.

Thankyou for visiting me

Byeee for now

Autumn Gatherings

Hiya

Hope you are all having a good week!

To share today is another weather inspired project. The weather here in the Uk is certainly turning autumnal, but the colours are stunning. The trees are just beginning to turn colour.

For a change Ive decorated a gift bag. Ive given it an Autumnal look using Basic Grey papers and Tim Alteration die 'Autumn Leaves' and Bird cage.

Ive painted 'Tilda with Ponytail' with distress inks Rusty Hinge and Walnut Stain.

back again soon x

Thankyou for looking

Rain! Rain! go away!!!

Evening All... or Morning to you lovely down under girlies! I hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

This weeks Challenge over on MDUC is Karen's sketch and a fab one too. Thankyou Karen.

Its been raining so much here in the UK this week, that's its the only inspiration I could come up with!!!LOL. But I do love this Tilda-'Tilda in the summer rain'. Its also a card for a friend who's been a little under the weather recently!!

I painted with DI'S, but tried to do the 'no lines look'!! but I havent a light enough dye ink pad yet, so used what I had which was Archival Coffee. Though it is definately much softer than normal.

For the flags I used the new Doo-Hickey Die 'Flag and Clouds' and the lettering used Tim's alterations die Typeset. For the shabby rose ribbon, I stained With Distress Victorian Velvet. I'm in love with this stuff!!

Again I did the same with the flowers and painted over with white paint!

And to finish I decorated the back too using Doo Hickeys Vintage Tag and Hearts. All papers are Magnolia.

Bye for now

Morning!!!!

                  It's a very wet day here in the UK!! My children have gone back to school today and boy it seems quiet!!! Im having a good tidy round and it's actually staying tidy!!!!LOL..Until 3.30pm that is.

Ive had a busy week this week as we (the magnolia DT) have been busy making our projects for the Christmas issue of Magnolia Ink. So while I was in the Christmas mood ,I thought I would make this Christmas tag for this weeks TOMIC challenge.

The Challenge this week is to create your own background paper.

To make my background I used Alcohol Inks Pink Sherbert, Pearl and Gold. I then stamp with Magnolia stamps and embossed with white embossing powder.

Ive used Tilda with Butterfly Jeans. Coloured her with DI's on 300gsm Watercolour paper.

Other stamps used were

Snowy Snowflake Circle, Holly Postmark and Snowflakes.

Did you know it's only 15 weeks 6 days until Christmas!!!!! YIKES

I think now I will make a Christmas a week, just so Im organised!!!
