Magnolia meets Papertrey Ink! (AND Scor-tape!)

Good morning! By going to my craft room yesterday I did find a little Mojo to work with! Then I didn't want to stop! Now it's Monday and back to work!

This card has something I saw on a PTI designer's blog awhile back-see the ribbon pieces that Tilda is sitting on? That's it!

I took some white scrap cardstock (4.25 x 5.5 inches) and covered it with my WIDE scor-tape. It only took three strips to cover it. Then I laid peeled off the paper to reveal the sticky side and and laid my ribbon pieces onto it. I cut off a peice about 1.25 inches and layered it on Hawaiin Shores card stock. AND I have more left to work with another day! Makes me happy!

What do you think?

The rest of the card is pretty simple and this Tilda is soooo sweet! She is Tilda with 3 Flowers (#3028) available at MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS AND you can put scor-tape in the search box, see all the sizes and order that, too! GOD BLESS DIANA!

She's colored in copics:

skin E000. E11 and R20

flowers R000 and R20

Dress BG11, BG32 and BG15

Shoes and hair E30, E42, E25 and E29

stems/leaf 20, G24

Thanks for visiting today! Wishing you a productive Monday!

Happy Anniversary to US!

Dave and I are celebrating 18 wonderful years today! He is a great guy and my bestest friend! This, of course, is the card I made for him. I used a Stamping Bella image, but can't remember the name of it right now. The paper is chocolate, yo yo yellow and Basic Grey Origins. I colored the happy couple with copic markers.
April 11 is also my parents' anniversary. Dave and I were married on their 44th anniversary which I think is so neat! This would be mom and dad's 62nd anniversary.
Happy Anniversary also to my friend, Lisa and her husband, Kevin.
Lisa and I met on SCS a couple of years ago and soon discovered we were married on exactly the same day-April 11, 1992!! So, happy 18th to you two, too!

Hope everyone is having a great day! I'm off to my craft room to search for my Mojo-it must be in there somewhere!
Take care, Cheryl

Quickie Dahlia!

Hi-the promised post for today, but I gotta get to work soon! I'm going to do a few of these for April Birthday cards so they will arrive ON TIME! A nice change from my usual late cards!
It's made from PTI's set Dahlias. The dp is also PTI. I used the old script SU background in vintage cream ink. I wish I'd had time for real sewing, but I settled for Faux stitches with my black pen. ETA: copics used: RV04, RV17, RV19 YG21, YG93 and YG95
And that's it! Thanks for coming by! I appreciate those who helped me with comments yesterday! Thanks!
Have a super Thursday!

One more bunny!

How did Easter come and go so quickly?! I'm not ready! I had colored this extra bunny when I posted my other card with her. I just HAD to use her with my new Kioshi papers! They are just perfect! I made this card 31/2" x 6". It's a very fun size! The base is Barely Banana, then Orchid from SU. The ribbon is from Papertrey Ink as is the button. Pretty straight forward card really. I think it would make an adorable thank you to my sister who hosted us for Easter dinner-THAT IS IF I could stand to let her go!! LOL!
Speaking of that: I'd like to take an informal poll; Would anyone buy my cards if I open an ETSY SHOP? I do complete the insides, but not really fancy. I would provide an envelope. I'm thinking they would be around 10.00. Would love to know what you think! Your help is appreciated!

So here's the other card if you want to see the colors I used HOPPY EASTER.

Just a note: I've begun to use E11 to shade her face on top of the E000. I like it!

TIP: I color the cheek area and face first with E000, putting a little extra on the one cheek. Then while it's still a little wet (fast!) I add my R20 to one cheek at a time and blend with E000. It helps the edges of the cheek color not be so obvious. Then I do the other cheek the same way

I have some April birthday cards and that Thank you to my sister to get done tonight so I hope to have a post tomorrow as well! Thanks for check out my Post Easter Tilda!

Have a lovely spring day!!

FS165-LATE

I just love this little bunny that Mo drew for us! He is sad because he is Late. Wouldn't this make a cute belated birthday card? I've said before that I can always use them. The sketch is the JUGS27 sketch and it is excellent! I used the PTI scallop border to cut the bottom of my card. Then I went to Bermuda Bay paper and the wonderful Graphic 45 paper called On the Boardwalk. It has fabulous turquoise and rust vintage colors. It's yummy! I almost don's want to cut it!
The ribbon is PTI's new Hawaiin Shores. I love the paper color and the ribbon lots! I wouldn't recommend the ink because it does not match the paper and ribbon! Oh well!
Here are my copic colors:
BG and Floor E33, E25 E99 then T0, W00 and W2
Bunny E30, E42 , E50 and R20
Shirt E33, E97, E99, E08 and E15
Vest BG10, BG13, BG15, BG18 and BG49
Thanks for hopping by and I wish all of you a Happy Easter!

Magnolia-licious Sketch for April!

Hi! I love a day off work! It allowed me time for a nice long, early morning walk and then time to complete my April sketch card! Our sketch is my the amazingly talented and fabulous Claudia of Pretty Pressings! She kept it nice and simple so the possibilities are endless and I love that! Thank you, Claudia!

My card base is Purely Pomegranate and I used dp from Basic Grey (Green at Heart) and cosmo Cricket (Farm Fresh). They mixed beautifully, IMO. I used images from Magnolia-licious, of course- the Open Gate and Tilda with eggs in her Apron. The sentiment is from Inky Antics. For details on making and entering a card this month, please visit our Magnolia Highlites Blog!

Once again, I forgot to write colors down and in a rush to clean up my desk I put the markers away. Sorry, I'll try to do better!

The bunny is because my friend LISA of KIND CREATIONS is so good at staging her cards that I wanted to try it! I've got a lot to learn! LOL!

My new car came to me yesterday! The dealer brought it down (an hour away) because we had driven there twice this week! I love it! It is another Subaru Outback (DH would add "Motortrend's Sport Utility vehicle of the year!") I traded in my blue one for a beauty-ful green one!

My winner of the Honey Bee Tilda card that I colored for the Copic creations Challenge, Mar 15 is # 18 chosen by Random.org

Barb, an RN is Michigan, this is you! Please contact me at drowley6@stny.rr.com with your address when you get a chance!

Have a great day, everyone, and thanks for visiting!

Copic Creations Challenge 25-

FLOWERS! What could be better for spring!? Nothing, I think! So here is a flower from one of my many PTI sets! I used R20, R24 and R27 to color the petals. The center is Y21 with touches of Y24 and the leaves are G20, G24 and G82. I colored this flower like one I saw on Debbie Olson's blog (Thinking Inking) awhile ago. She does a fabulous job of coloring so I CASED on this one!

I have tomorrow off so I plan to be back with my Magnolia April sketch card AND the winner of this card for the previous Copic Creations Challenge.

There's still time to comment today!!

And don't forget to head over to our CCC blog to check out the beautifully colored flowers! We hope you'll join us for the prize from Paper Garden-It's 25.00!

Okay, guess that's it for this post! Have a sunny day!
