Walter the Moose

Hello everyone, today I have a card to show you using a mix of new Magnolia stamps and older ones!

For my card I used Walter the Moose from the new Magnolia Turning Leaves Collection 2012 and he is coloured with distress inks. The DP is from MME and although it isn't christmas DP I think it works quite well, being red and green!! The sentiment is the post vintage merry christmas stamp from the Magnolia So Jolly & Under the Mistletoe Collection 2009 and it is stamped in memento rich cocoa ink. I used doohickey dies to cut out the tags and swirls and I added some ribbon and gold bells to the tags.

Finally, a close up of the tags. They have been distressed with vintage photo distress ink and one is stamped with Love Holly and the other with sweet snowflakes from the Magnolia Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection 2011.

Supplies
Card/Paper: Kraft and ivory card. MME - Wild Asparagus
Stamps: Magnolia - listed above
Colouring: Distress inks - vintage photo, antique linen, weathered wood, black soot, victorian velvet, broken china.
Embellishments: Bells, ribbon, twine, pearls
Tools: Trouvaille, sewing machine, doohickeys, nesties

Hello everyone, my card today features Christmas Party Tilda from the Magnolia So Jolly and Under the Mistletoe Collection 2009.

I have coloured Tilda with copics and embellished with stickles. My lush DP is from fancy pants and the sentiment is from WOJ.
