Magnolia Meets Labels One

Another Magnolia card. I would like to have shared something different with you, but I have nothing else!

I colored this Magnolia stampoff on Monday, worked on it just a little bit Tuesday and Wednesday and finally finished it up today. Not that it’s that complicated, I just haven’t had much time! It is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. What IS a little bit different about it, is how I cut it and matted it. I used my new Labels One set of Nestabilities. Do you recognize it? I put her in it diagonally, then trimmed off the other two “points.” I punched the corners of the teal mat, and also the corners of the background paper, with a Fiskars Lace corner punch. The tag is a Sizzix die cut. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. The ribbon is from JoAnn’s.

Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you’ll come back and visit again soon!

Lots of Magnolias!

I thought I’d share several cards with Magnolias with you today, rather than spread them out! Thanks again, Andrea, for the stampoffs!

Some are colored with markers. Some are colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. Some use Nestabilities. Some use Cuttlebug folders. Several have Stickles. None are complicated! I hope you like them!

Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you’ll come back and visit again soon!

Magnolia Birthday

How about a Magnolia card today? I received several Magnolia stampoffs from a friend – thanks, Andrea! I colored up five of them over the weekend, and I have made them all into cards now. You may be seeing a lot of them!

Today’s card is supposed to be for Christmas, I think. I had originally colored it that way, but decided I wanted to use it now. So I colored over the holly leaves in her hair, and changed the colors of the presents! I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I added Stickles to her wing. I cut her, and the matting, with Long Oval Nestabilities. Hmmm, what to do with her now? I found the small piece of pink (the same color!) already embossed with the Dotted Swiss folder and laying on my table. I held it underneath, and thought it looked good. Now, where to put the sentiment? I thought it would look nice above the image and have seen on other blogs to bend the stamps to print in a curve. However, I knew I didn’t have a stamp that long. So, it popped into my head to print it on the computer. Wasn’t sure I’d be able to pull it off, but it worked!

Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you’ll come back and visit again soon!
