MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS DT JULY BLOG HOP!!!

Our hop this month is called ROUND OFF-meaning that to enter we want you to make anything but a square or rectangular shaped card. I just love making shaped cards with my Grand Nestabilities!  Fun challenge!  Another thing I love is when new Magnolia stamps arrive in the mail!!  Here is #283 TILDA WITH A GIFT FOR YOU from the new Turning Leaves Collection!  Diana has them in stock and shipping now-including MINIs!!
 Before I go further, I want to say that you can find the whole darned hop order HERE at Magnolia-licious Highlites..  If you arrived at my blog from the FAB-U-LOUS Angie at Scrap-girl you are doing great!!
On with a few details-The card base is Spellbinders Labels four in the grand size.  The increments are 1/4".  I cut two of the largest size then on the yellow one I trimmed off the embossed edge to get the die cuts closer in size. My paper is My Mind's Eye (Nostalgia) and Webster's pages (Tell Your Story).  i used a Memory box die for the leaves and an MFT die for the roses. The die behind Tilda is from Marianne designs, I think.
The star of the show, though, is the beautiful Tilda!! She is colored with copics.  I used E000, E11 and R30 for her face.  Once in a while I like to add shading to create a 'nose'.  Her hair is E50, Y21, E97 and E99. Her shoes are E31, E35, E25,  The gift is BG10 and 11 with Y21 and E31 for the raffia.  Her dress is R30, R21 and  R22.  I added some Star Dust stickles to the gift, tilda's bow and to the roses.
Dave and I just returned from our week on the Maine coast.  We just love it there and had a week of amazing weather and good times.  We found some new hiking places, a couple of new places to visit and a couple of new places to eat lobster!!  I will show a couple of pictures soon.
I was in such a packing craze before we left that i forgot to choose my blog candy winner, so I will do that in the morning and post it on Tuesday (July 17).  My sincere apologies on that!
AND, now off you go to visit my buddy Sharon's blog for some super EYE CANDY!
When you finish, we hope you'll start planning your shapely project to join in our challenge!!

Thanks for coming by today!!
Have a great Monday! Hugs, Cheryl
