TOMIC Challenge 13

Hello everyone, today on TOMIC Challenge 13 we have a theme of back to school + metal and once again one lucky winner will receive a surprise package from Magnolia.

For my project this week I have created a simple notebook. It was really easy to make....I just cut some A4 printer paper to make the paper stack inside and I stapled it together. I then used some pink ribbon to hide the staples and I applied double sided tape to the back piece, then I stuck it down firmly to my pink card base.

To decorate the front I used Summer Tilda from the Magnolia Lazy Summer Days Collection 2009 and I coloured her with copics. The DP is also from Magnolia and I used a Joy crafts Embossing stencil for my embossed panel. The punched edge was done with a fiskars punch and I used some cuttlebug dies to make the "notes". A pink satin ribbon ties the book closed and I finished off with a metal corner and some jewels.

Supplies
Card/Paper: Pink, green and white card. Magnolia - Once upon a time collection
Stamps: Magnolia - Summer Tilda - Lazy Summer Days Collection 2009
Colouring: Copics - E000, E00, E11, R20, E50, E31, E35, E25, E29, R81, R85, C1, C3, C5, 0. Inkssentials pen, silver gel pen

TOMIC Challenge 12

Hello everyone, today over on TOMIC Challenge 12 we have a special challenge for you. It is the birthday of Magnolia Ink Magazine and as it is printed on recycled paper we would like to see something recycled on your cards/projects.

For my card I recycled some dictionary pages from an old english/spanish dictionary.



So onto my card.... I have used Tilda Writing Diary from the Magnolia Right Through My Heart Collection 2010 and I have coloured her with copics. The DP is also from Magnolia, the something old, something new collection, and I have stitched on a piece of a dictionary page. All the elements were sponged with antique linen distress ink and edged with walnut stain.

The seam binding is from wild orchid and I coloured it using antique linen and walnut stain inks so it would match my card, and I tied a double bow using my bow easy tool. The flowers and pearls are also from wild orchid and I finished off with a little silver stickles along the hem of her dress.

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!)

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