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.

Patience? Not me!

It was tough to be patience when Mo drew this image "Patience"! I couldn't wait to get it printed and colored up! (My picture doesn't do it justice!) Can you stand it? Look at that cat's face! Look at the little girl! Oh my goodness!

Well, I love aqua and orange and hadn't used any of this Bo Bunny kitchen spice paper. It was my inspiration for the colors of copics I used.

It's getting late (9:00 pm-probably makes some of you laugh, but DH and i are up around 4:00 am every day!) and I've got to get Friday's Magnolia-licious post entered. We're doing Clean and Simple card with our Magnolia images. Hope you'll come back!

I'll post the colors for this card on Saturday and get it added to SCS and PCP. The link to Mo's store is on my side bar!

thanks for visiting! Really!

I'm Baaaack!!! With a Tilda card!

And I got a card made today! My DH and I were away for the weekend! It was our 17th wedding anniversary and we went to southern Ohio. We were trying to go on a little trip where we didn't spend a lot of money. The Hocking Hills State Park is there and we took a fabulous 6 mile hike into (what seemed like) the center of the earth! The rocks, cliffs and waterfalls were spectacular! My photography doesn't do it justice, but I'll get some pictures posted soon! Well, my new Spellbinder blossom dies arrived while we were gone. Had to use the largest one right away! I started this card by deciding on blue and yellow for my main colors. I wanted to try blue jeans with my copics. I hope you can click to enlarge because there is crosshatching in my denim. Then I went to Bo Bunny's double dot paper. I love all the colors and was ordering some colors that I am missing when I decided to use ONLY Double Dot as my dp! I used to hate polka dots, I mean I really hated them! Hard to imagine now, because they are a favorite! The card needed some edging so I pierced and faux stitched around EVERYTHING! I'm not very good at it, but consider it to have a ragged homespun look and it's okay!

Now, the flower!! Do you not love the flower! I saw it on a blog this morning and had to make it right away! It uses 8 of the smallest Nestability scalloped heart! So easy! Here's the link to her wonderful directions and creations! Thanks to Lesa at Paper Possibilities! Please scroll down to her April 2 entry for directions on the blossoms.

Okay, I've rambled long enough! Here's the close up of the coloring and the copics are listed below for anyone interested!

Copic colors: E000, E01. R20

Y11, Y21, Y08, E40, E43, B34, B39, N5, C7

I hope you've found some inspiration today!

Have a great evening!
