A Magnolia Day

Happy Friday All!

I am so happy that we are at the end of the week! Phewww! It's been super busy here and I'm so looking forward to the weekend and a little break! Hope you have some fun stuff planned. It's a long weekend here in the US and that makes it extra special.

Just Magnolia

I have my cards for Just Magnolia and Stamp Something to share with you today. First, is my card for Just Magnolia along with some super duper exciting news! Bev and the girls have asked me stay on the JM design team as a permanent designer. I of course said YES! I've so very much enjoyed my time with the team and was not looking forward to it's ending so I'm just over the moon to be able to keep designing with my cutie pie Magnolias and these wonderful ladies! Thanks for having me girls!

The challenge this week is a sketch by the very talented Mina! It's an easy sketch to work with, I can see it working for plenty of images and I know it's one I will use again!

I used this Sweetheart Tilda with some Fancy Pants papers. I was trying to achieve a country look, what do you think? I used some faux stitching which I created with a paper piercer and white gel pen and then added brads, ribbon, chipboard, and a felt flower to embellish this one. The image was colored with Copics and highlighted with a gel pen and glitter pen. I'm running out of ink in my flesh tone Copics and no one seems to have the refills in stock. Yikes!

Stamp Something

The challenge at Stamp Something this week is Favorite Stamp or Stamp Set. I know, you're thinking oh that's easy, but really this one was tough for me. I have way too many fabulous stamps to ever have a real favorite. So I've made it a Magnolia day and chosen these sweet Tilda with Hearts.

I also have a plan to send this card to the little girl Paige, who Erin recently posted about on her blog. If you haven't read Erin's post or the one I made yesterday, Paige was seriously injured in a boating accident and has lost part of her arm. It's all very sad. Erin is organizing a card drive to help bring some cheer to Paige's recovery.

I think this card is girly and sweet and hopefully will brighten Paige's day. I've colored with Copics, but I think this sweet Tilda is a tad more tan than that of the Tilda in my card above! I really need those inks! I've also highlighted with a gel pen and glitter pen. The sketch is from Truly Scrumptious. I've used BasicGrey papers and some blue, purplish, and pink cardstock. Then embellished with ribbon, Prima flowers, and buttons.

Thanks for dropping by today. I hope you'll join us this week at both Just Magnolia and Stamp Something, maybe you can even combine the challenges to work for both! Have a super weekend. Happy stamping! :)
