Explore Tilda Spring Card for Magnolia-licious Inspiration Challenge

Hello every one. Today is wonderful Norma's turn to host again and it's for the Magnolia-Licious Inspiration Challenge. She would like the participant to create a project using the following inspiration photo. Remember to be one of the lucky winner to win a $25.00 Gift Certificate from Magnolia-licious Store, all you have to do is to create a project using the inspiration picture below.

Here is my finished card. Sometimes ago, I saw a card from Mindy's Blog and OMG, her coloring is so gorgeous. I thought what a great idea doodling the grass around Tilda and always wanted to try it myself. The other day, I checked my Magnolia stamps from Magnolia-licious Store and found my Explorer Tilda, so I decided to try that and create a grass field for her with my Copic markers.

I am also using this card for some other challenges. Please scroll down to the bottom of this post for the challenges.

I added some diamond glaze on the magnify glasses to create a shiny effect, then added some blings on the insects.

Magnolia Holly Tilda Valentines Day Altered Kraft Envelope

Good morning and hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day yesterday. Today I wanted to share an altered project I prepared for work yesterday. Well, last week the social committee of my office planned an event to do something fun for Valentine's Day. We were all given a 9" x 12" business envelope to decorate and to hang it by our cubicles/offices on Valentine's Day for others to put valentines/or goodies into the decorated envelope. Does this bring back some memories on your school days? lol.

I am using this altered envelope for the following challenges:
Little Claire Monthly Challenge #18 - Romance
One Stop Craft Challenge #169 - Hearts and Flowers with Ribbon
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #119 - Valentine's
Daring Cardmakers - Pretty hearts & paper doilies
Fairy Tale Challenge #34 - Love, Love, Love
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge #56 - With all my heart
Annabelle Stamps Challenge - Red, Black & White
Stampin with the Dragon Challenge #3 - Inspiration from a photo
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 141 - Valentine's Day
Die Cuttin Divas Challenge #52 - Pick at least 2 colors (black & red)

Here is the pictures of the business envelope before and after when it was decorated. Of course I couldn't resist using one of my Magnolia Tildas to put on this project. I picked Holly Tilda from the Magnolia Sweet Christmas Dream 2011 Collection. Well she is the same this stamp's name, Tilda is holding the holly which has nothing to do with Valentine's, but I decided to alter her. See pictures below to see the altered part.

The left side picture shows you before I alter the stamp image. The right side is the 'after' picture. I cut out the image and adhered a piece of ribbon on top to cover up the holly. I then added heart shape gems on top to tie with the Valentine's theme.

I've also prepared a bunch of mini jelly belly packs to put into my co-workers' envelopes.

That's all I have to share with you today and thank you for stopping by today and I hope you like this post and somewhat it gives you some inspiration for party favor ideas. See you again soon for more projects sharing :o)

Magnolia Wild Tilda Party Invitation Card

Good morning everyone. Today is another Magnolia-licious Color Challenge. This month's host is the talented designer Norma Lee. Norma would like us to make a project using the colors of BROWN & BLUE.

My project using these colors today is a party invitations card made using the cute WILD TILDA image from the 2012 Sweet Crazy Love Collection.

All you have to do is to create a project using these three colors for a chance to win a $25.00 Gift Certificate from DIANA of Magnolia-licious!!

I am also using this card for more challenges, please scroll to the bottom of this post for the challenges details.

Here is my finished party invitation card. Did you see the bottle cap accent here? Well you can make that easily. All you have to do is to get a 'No More Shims Embossing Mat' and use it along with your Cuttlebug or Sizzix machine and you can flatten any bottle caps to create extra embellishments. I cut out a circle to put inside the cap using the same set of DP and added liquid crystal on top to create a shiny surface.

Here are all the inserts when they pulled out from the front pocket. It contains two tags and a fill in card for party information.
