There's a Rumble in the Jungle!

Hello everyone, today I have made a card using some of my more neglected Magnolia stamps.

I have used Monkey and the hanging leaves from the Magnolia Pet Collection 2009 and they are coloured with copics and I have added some glossy accents to his eyes and nose. I also used the giraffe pattern stamp from the same collection and I stamped it with vintage photo distress ink to create the patterned card.

The DP is from MME and the leaves are all embossed. The buttons, twine and twill ribbon are all from my stash.

I used the giraffe pattern stamp once again to create a pocket to hold money or a gift card. Finally the sentiment is a stamped one I had in my stash and it is a penny black one (I think!)

Supplies 
Card/Paper: White and brown card. MME - bloom and grow
Stamps: Magnolia - Monkey, Hanging Leaves, Giraffe Pattern - Pet Collection 2009. Sentiment - Penny Black

Colouring: Copics - G21, YG67, YG11, R20, R22, B000, B00, C1, 0, E31, E33, E35, E37, E41, E43, E47

TOMIC Challenge 1

Hello everyone and welcome to the very first challenge at The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge (TOMIC) we are all very excited to be here and we hope you will all join us for lots of fun. For this first week all of the DT are taking part, but for forthcoming weeks we will be split into teams as there are so many of us. This week we have a theme of Happy Birthday and Magnolia are sponsoring our challenges with a surprise package for the winner.

For my card I have used Bridesmaid Tilda from the Magnolia Wedding Collection 2010 and she has been coloured with copics and embellished with silver stickles. The lush DPs are from K & Co and they have quite a vintage feel. I planned my layout around the little bird in the bottom right hand corner so you could see him peeking through. I used an MS punch for the scalloped edge and the sentiment is from cats life press. To embellish my card I used some cream twill, pearls, twine and a charm

I finished off the inside of my card with the left over DPs from the front. I put them together in a patch work effect and used some zig zag stitches for the joins. I really love how this turned out.
