SOS20 - Fall Tilda with Sunflower

Good Morning! Since it's almost Thanksgiving time here in Canada we at Shopping Our Stash would like you to make a Thanksgiving or Thank You card.
For my card I used a card kit I got from a Magnolia swap last year - papers are Thanksgiving themed, but I didn't have a Thanksgiving sentiment so I turned it into a Thank You card.
Image colored with Copics, all the stuff used is from the kit. I sponged the edges of the image with Antique Linen distress ink and than stamped the swirls over it.

PSC84 - Tilda Goes Back To School

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!
It's time for Paper Sundaes Challenge #84 and this week we would like you to use your Magnolia stamps on your creations. How easy is that? Did you know that our fabulous sponsor Stamp & Create is now carrying Magnolia stamps in their store? You can check them all out HERE.

This is my last card for Paper Sundaes DT as I'm retiring from my post. I was with Paper Sundaes Challenge blog since their beginning and I have to tell you it's been a lot of fun. :)
But couple months ago I got back to sewing and started quilting and there is not enough free time in the day to do everything ... So I just want to send a big Thank You with a big hug to Shana and Christine for starting Paper Sundaes Challenges and for keeping me on the DT for so long ;)

Now back to my card - I used Tilda with pencils and School Desk images from School & Travel Collection. They are colored with Copics with little glitter pen details here and there. Then I just created a simple background from black CS for blackboard and added some flowers on the bottom.
Challenges:
Allsorts - Back To School
Simon Says Stamp - sketch
Stamp Something - Back to school something
Totally Papercrafts - Back To School

PSC69 - Happy Birtday Cake Card

Good morning and Happy Sunday! It's time to celebrate! One of our DT founding members Christine just celebrated a birthday and we decided Birthday Celebrations would be the theme this week's PS challenge!
What's a birthday celebration without a cake, so when I saw a tutorial for a card with the cake I knew I have to make one! I don't have birthday related stamps, so I used Midsummer Tilda - she looks so happy and carefree, totally enjoying the day - you can find her at Simon Says Stamp - our sponsor for this week! Here is a view with candles placed on the cake - the white "icing" is made with puff marker. The colors are a bit off - it's been really dark and cloudy for the last 2 days and I don't have the best light ;(
She's colored with Copics, used my new ones for the dress, all the papers are from Fairy Flora collection (Prima) and the sentiment is from Flourishes (Let them eat cake).

And another view with the candles stored in the little box. The top part of the card is like an easel card, you can fold it down and tie it up with ribbons. I'm entering it into the following challenges:
Prairy Fairy Challenge - Here come the girls.
Corrosive challenge - Birthdays

Talking about Birthdays - I just have to brag a little - here is a "bouquet" I made for my hubby's birthday last weekend - first I thought I'll just order one, but most of those had tons of green melon and cantaloupe and nobody here likes those. SO I got fruits we like and made my own ;)

PSC65 - Texture - Ballerina Tilda

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!
Today's challenge on Paper Sundaes is TEXTURE and our sponsor for this week is Simon Says Stamp. I used my favorite Ballerina Tilda, colored her with Copics and used a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Sentiment is from Whimsy stamps.

Just Magnolia - Happy Birthday
Fussy and Fancy - for a child

Bright Flying Fairy Tilda

This card is for Make it Colorful Challenge where this week's theme is to color with bright colors.When I saw the theme I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to use my new Paisley Road papers from Prima.

The layout is really simple, just added a metallic butterfly from Making Memories and some Prima rhinestones.

I used Silent Night Tilda and colored her with Copics. The CS is from Stampin Up and the DP is Basic Grey - Jovial collection.
The sentiment is from Doodle Pantry - Winter Song Birdies set and the tinsel fiber is from Webster's Pages.

Magnolia - Jolly Tilda

It's 19 days till Christmas and here is another Christmas card I made (I better start sending them out soon - most have to go overseas).
I used a Jolly Tilda image and a card kit I got from SCS card kit swap (so I don't know the paper manufacturers). The colors are mostly peach and light blue, so not exactly your traditional Christmas colors - perfect for the current challenge on 7 kids college fun challenge blog. I used a sheer ribbon with the pom-pom one over it for extra texture.

I'm also entering it into Craft your Days Away Challenge - the challenge is Texture

Sweet Christmas Tilda

it's 27 days till Christmas and here is another Christmas card.
I used a card kit I got in Magnolia card kit swap on SCS, so I don't know the brands used, but I really love the fun Christmas papers paired up with a non-Christmasy image. Everything except the card base and white pleated ribbon was in the kit. And the sentiment is perfect for it too!
