Just Magnolia and Wags ‘n Whiskers DT Cards

 

The challenge on Just Magnolia this week is Hot and Spicy – now you can interpret this as you wish, either Hot as in summer, weather, colours or Spicy as food, colours, or both together.  Don’t forget that you can combine our challenge with any other challenges of your choice as long as the main image on your creation is a Magnolia stamp you will qualify to be in the draw for the fab prize. And remember NO back linking, new projects/cards only please.

I have gone for hot as in Summer but have used red as a Hot colour too.  Sweet little Tilda is sitting on her sugar sack keeping cool eating her lolly and waiting for Edwin, how could he resist her looking as pretty as this.  I NEVER use copics to colour Tilda  but after seeing some of the beautiful cards made by my fellow DT members I thought I would give it a go and I am quite pleased with the result, may have to do this again.  The sentiment and Sugar sack are both Magnolia Stamps the Paper is also from Magnolia.  The White medium Curly Rose, Red Cherry Blossom and small white tea roses and rose buds are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Now for my other DT Card

JUST MAGNOLIA CHALLENGE

This week we are sponsored by the lovely Tracy of Dies to die for.

Our challenge this week is a sketch provided by Jane. You can rotate and or flip the sketch, as long as we can still see the basic sketch on your creation. Don’t forget that you can combine our challenge with any other challenges of your choice as long as the main image on your creation is a Magnolia stamp you will qualify to be in the draw for the fab prize. And remember NO back linking, new projects/cards only please.

The winner will be chosen by Random Generator next week so to be in the running all you need to do is ensure you have at least one Magnolia image on your card and link your card (not your blog) in Mr Linky and have your card posted by 8pm UK time next Thursday 27th May.

This is one of those cards that I am really really unhappy with, but I just have not got time to do another one, I don’t know what it is about this card UI dislike so much!! but it certainly doesn't do justice to Janes lovely sketch.

I have used magnolia papers and distress inks, I think it must be the colours I don’t like, you know me a real pastel girl, and I also creased the waterproof paper when I was try to shape Tilda. Wild Orchid Crafts flowers have been used as usual, and I cannot get enough of the Martha Stewart Star Punch, I lurve it.

WAGS N WHISKERS CHALLENGE

It is my turn to host the challenge this week so I have chosen the theme "Just Good Friends". You can either make a card using one our images with two characters, or you can just make a card for a friend. I am leaving the challenge open to interpretation. Just remember that you must use a Wags 'n Whiskers stamps.

Distress Inks have been used again for this one and also the obligatory Wild Orchid Crafts roses. The papers are from my scarp drawer and the Martha Stewart half daisy punch has been used for the borders. I think this is my favourite of the new Wags N Whiskers release and that Ice cream looks so scrummy and just what I need up here in the eves where I am absolutely melting.

Spring Time

A Spoonfull of Sugar

Our lovely sweet and generous teamie Nikki is our sponsor for this weeks A Spoonfull of Sugar she has offered 2 lovely stamps from the latest Spring Time collection from her company Wags-n-Whiskers . 

It is my week to choose the theme and as Nikki had so generously given every DT member a stamp from the new release what better theme than SPRING.  

I have used the image called Easter Blessing for my card and have used Distressed Inks to colour it, the papers are Basic Grey.   I said a few weeks ago that I had seen the Martha Stewart Bunny Border punch and had resisted buying it, but I gave in and just had to order it from Dies to Die For, I am so pleased I did :).

The fabulous Daffodils, roses and spray are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I am in love with these Daffodils what fabulous spring embellishments they make.

Hope you have a good day, don’t forget to enter into my Birthday Candy the link to the post is on my side bar.
