London Tilda - Singing in the Rain

Hi!  I have a card to share with you today using some of the new Magnolia Little London collection stamps.  I haven't bought any Magnolia stamps for ages, but this set really caught my eye, so I had to add a few of them to my collection and have a play as soon as they arrived!

I chose some of my favourite backing papers from the Kraftyhands Chic Boutique CD which you can currently get at a super duper price in their online shop!  I cut two different sized square doilies with my Silhouette Cameo and layered them all up.

To create the focal image for the card, I stamped London Tilda, created a mask and then stamped the phone booth to make it look like its behind her.  Then coloured with Copics, and created a faux stitch detail around the scene and the layers of backing paper already on the card.

Having stuck the image onto the card, I knew it needed more but struggled to decide what for a while.  After die cutting several flowers and swirls, I decided to start again and print a double sided piece of paper using the two designs from the CD I had chosen as my backing papers.  I die cut several Chinese roses from this paper, rolled and glued them to create the flowers, then cut the leaves using a pink Copic pen to colour the leaves while still in the die.

I then stamped sentiment onto some of the backing paper and die cut it with a Spellbinder circle (as I am rubbish at cutting circles freehand), and layered it onto a lacey circle.  Finally gluing everything onto the card, which I think is rather pretty - I hope you agree!

Lacy Sunshine #2 - Favourite Colour Combination

Morning! Its time for the launch of the 2nd Lacy Sunshine challenge!  The theme is Favourite Colour Combination and will run from 17th February - 2nd March. You'll find all the rules over on the blog, but basically if you enjoy using digi stamps or rubber stamps you will enjoy playing along!

The prize is a $30 voucher to spend in the Lacy Sunshine Shop where you will be able to stock up on Heather's yummy digi images, and a winners blinkie.  There will also be a Top Three who will each receive a blinkie and 2 of Heather's digis.

As you can see from the photo I chose pink, white and grey for my favourite colour combination - I have a few favourite combos, but for these images it just had to be pink!  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with these digis at first, then I had an idea of seeing if I could find a circus tent shape for my Silhouette Cameo - so it was off to the online store and look what I found! And that was that!  I hope you like the card I made, and that you join us for the challenge!
