Amazing Acetate blog Hop!

Good morning! Welcome to the Magnolia-licious Design Team Project of the Month Blog Hop! I don't remember whose idea it was to use acetate in our card/project but it was a GREAT idea! Maybe it was Becca's idea, cuz that's where we started the hop-at Amazing Paper Grace. If you then came from our GDT member, Angie you are right on track! I was trying to take daylight photos and keep the real shades of color so I'll apologize right now for the poor photos! This Tilda with Bike is on reorder
at the store. As Diana mentioned she is one of the smaller ones from last year. Her head could almost be covered by a quarter. For me this means she fits well on a standare A2 sizd card!

I love, love, love how an acetate card looks so that's what I started with! It was so fun I decided to make a box to go with it and use an acetate window!
I used new Bo Bunny sparkly paper with SUs orchid opulance. It's not my favorite color but is the perfect match for Bo Bunny's Jazmyne paper! The box is from Lauren Meder's new store My Time Made Easy and is called Shutterfly. I cut the flowers from my Bo Bunny dp.

I'll be honest, I had started this Tilda a while back and had her hair and skin colored already! I decided to stamp another and paper piece her apron with Papertrey Ink's Easter paper. I used Y21 and YR24 for the flowers and basket and V0000, Voo, V01, V09 and V15 for the purples. The bike tires are Cool Greys and I'm not sure about the greens.

In Love with my die cuts Tilda!

Yes, as you can see I do love my die cuts! I've had this Tilda colored for a couple of weeks and just could not find the right layout! My plan was to make her a Fall Tilda even though she came out in the summer collection. She is available right now at Magnolia-licious! Sort of fun to give her another purpose! (Especially since we can't yet get our hands on the so Spooky collection!) I recently bought these new die cuts -the vine (it's huge!), the leaves and labels 9. So why not toss them all onto one card! I don't know if you can see that there is some sparkle added to her fall bouquet. I hope so. the orange gingham is actually one of those die cut sheets of dp. It's from Pink Paislee.

I love the effect you get when you emboss the die (using the tan mat thingy) and then sponge a deeper color onto it. It's a need surprise when you pop it out of the die. (Yes, I know, I'm easily entertained :)

I'm afraid I didn't keep a color list and that I haven't been doing very well about it lately. I've had a request from Gwen for colors on a recent card so I'm vowing (again!) to do better at that. I promise to get back to you Gwen-I'll look for the color list tonight!

Hope you have a great Tuesday!

Thanks so much for stopping by! (Blogoversary next week, so I hope you'll keep coming back!)

Hugs to you all!
