A Sketch and A Flower Recipe

Hi All and Happy Friday!

Sorry I was MIA all week. The kids are home on winter break and between house stuff and work, I haven't had much time for crafting. Hope you've had a great week!

Stamp Something and Elisabeth Bells World Monthly Challenge

Today is new challenge at Just Magnolia and at Stamp Something. First up is my card for Stamp Something which is also a project for the new Elisabeth Bell's Challenge for February. The challenge at SS is to use flowers and lots of them if you like and then the EB monthly challenge is to make a recipe card.

For my project I've created an easel card with the recipe on the inside and I've used a WOJ image of Willow with her cookies to fit the recipe theme. The papers are from DCWV from the Sweet Stack and also fit the theme. The edges were stitched on the sewing machine. I colored the image with Copics and added some pearls to the corners. I've embellished with ribbon and flowers and added a tab with a sentiment from the Whimsy Birthday Letter Seals set.

Here is the inside of the card, which has the recipe for a chocolate cake. Yummy!

 

This card also fits at:

Do You Stack Up?  -Anything Goes
Paper Romance  - Anything goes
Rubber Cafe  - Fun Folds
Southern Girls - Brads, gems or dewdrops

Next is my card for JM and this week we have a fab sketch by our Mina! To see the sketch pop over to the JM blog and check out the sketch and all the fun DT samples. Remember to use a Magnolia or Hanglar and Stanglar image on your creation to be eligible for the prize. 

I went for a birthday theme with this card and used some fun My Minds Eye papers called Fine and Dandy! Love them! I've stitched the edges and then added some ribbons and a button and twine. The image was colored with Copics, cut out and adhered to a embossed circle. I've embellished with balloons that I created with the Whimsy Shapeology Balloon Die Set and some papers and twine. The sentiment is from the Balloon Sentiment set which coordinates with the die.

This card fits at:

Guylou's Inimitability  -anything goes
Paper Crafting Journey  - anything goes
Paper Play  – Get Sentimental
Samuel Taylor's Challenge  - use Copic or Promarkers
