For Nicholas ♥

I have been in the church today at the cristening of my nephew, Nicholas.

It has been such a beautiful day ♥

 

I just want to pop in and show you one of the cards I made for him.

I didn't want to use only baby stamps so I digged out the cute Super hero Edwin (I don't know his name, so I just call him that) and used some of my favorite colours.

 

I have again used the fantastic Maja design Vintage spring papers, my favorite ♥

 

Seambinding, charm from Kreativ Scrapping and wonderful WOC flowers.

Such a great stamp!

Perfect for all small boys ♥

 

And a photo of me and the kids in front of the church this morning

 

Have a wonderful evening

I am doing my Copic exam tomorrow, so I have been pretty busy the last days practicing.

Wish me luck...

 

hugs my friends

 

 

Tilda and chocolate ♥♥

Good morning fellowbloggers and friends♥

Today I am back with a new Magnolia card.

We have a new challenge starting at Copic Marker Norge today and Trine have chosen the theme

"CHOCOLATE"

SOooo since I don't like chocolate at all (YEAH right!lol) that was a pretty easy one for me.

I have coloured up one of my favorite older Tilda stamps, Tilda with armful tulips. I love the new Tilda with big tulips too, but this time I chose this beauty ♥

Inside the card there is room for a 100 gr chocolate plate, and I hope I make someone happy with this card. I have used Marianne's template to make the card. Thank you sweetie ♥

I went a bit crazy with the flowers... But they are all so beautiful!

All from WOC

And the papers are from the new fantastic spring collection from Maja design. My alltime favorite paper designer and I never get tired of using the Maja papers.

Look how beautiful they are!

And in here there is room for a chocolate

I made the writingspace as a tag, so you can pull it out, as it is so difficult to write inside the card when I have put on a ton of roses...

 

Mmmm, love this one ♥♥

 

My text comes from Kort og Godt

The swirl is the Magnolia heart swirl which is fantastic.

Happy easter my friends ♥

Good morning my lovely friends in blogland ♥

I have a new Magnolia card to show you today with two wonderful stamps.

 

Since the easter is upon us, I thought it was a good idea to wish all of my friends a Happy Easter :)

So I made you a card ♥

 

I have used the lovely Edwin with daffodil from this years easter collection and the Nativity fence from the Nativity collection 2012, and masked them together. I think they look perfect masked together. What do you think??

 

The text comes from North Star Stamps and says: It's the little things that makes friendship grow" and I got it as a gift from a dear friend ♥ Thanks Christine ♥♥

I have used some of the wonderful papers I got from Kreativ Scrapping when I returned home from my Thailand vacation. This pad is from Echo park and they are all so wonderful I almost want to eat them! LOL They are paired with some lovely craft cardstock from joy! Craft

And the die on the edge is a new one I got from Magnolia and I just love it! I can really see this one is going to be my new favorite.

A sideview showing some more of the papers and the cute Marianne design bird die I just got. So perfect for all wonderful easter projects, don't you think?

Tilda hiding egg...hihi

Finally the winter months are done, and we are welcoming the first day of spring♥

I have had summer for a few weeks here in Thailand now and I just love it!

But March means Easter and that is the theme for our new challenge at Kreativ Scrapping starting today. We have a little twist on the challenge tho, and that is

Easter, but NOT a card ;)

I have made a fantastic little giftbox for some easter treats and I hope you like it.

The template is bought here and I have cut it out on a Silouette Cameo.

My favorite Tilda from Magnolia was the lucky covergirl this time.

This Tilda is called "Tilda hiding heart" but my Tilda is hiding EGG ;)

I cut out an egg stamp from an Old Magnolia collection and put it in her arms ♥♥

The box was really easy to make as soon as I got it out of the Silhouette.

Just to score, fold and decorate!

I coloured and cut out a few more eggs and made a nest...

I took some dry grass (hehe, don't know the word for it!) and some cheesecloth and made a round nest. Inside I have cut out three small eggs from the DP, distressed them and covered them with Glossy accent. Looks super cute!

I have used papers from Maja design, Vintage summer and some wonderful lace from Marianne design.

I have used flowers from WOC, my Magnolia heart swirl, a feather, and the wonderful pearlberries from Kort og Godt. The word easter comes from a Cottage cuts die.

Is this a cutie or what!!

I can't remember the colours on her hair, but the rest is:

Skin: E21-51-50-93

Egg, hairband and shoes: T5, E19-07

Dress: W5-3-1-0

A lot of At you spica clear pen. Makes the most wonderful glittershimmer♥

If you want to make a box like this and need the template, you will find this one and a lot more amazing templates here

Have a wonderful day my lovlies ♥

A colouring tutorial ♥

Good morning and welcome to my Magnoliablog this wonderful Valentines day ♥

I have a project I made for Kreativ Scrapping to show you today, a colouring tutorial where I have coloured a Magnolia image with Copic on a Manilla tag.
 

When you are colouring on other surfaces than the ordinary Copic paper you may notice that the markers and colours behave a bit different. I always use darker colours then I colour on both Manilla tags and craft.

The other thing that is important is that the ink on the Manilla did dry faster, so I had to work a bit faster than on my ordinary paper. So if you aren't working that fast, take smaller sections at the time to avoid harch lines.

Ok, here we go ;)

The image is the wonderful "Bonny Tilda" from Magnolia.

She is stamped on a Manilla tag #8 with Memento black tuxedo ink

My choice of colours:

Skin: E23-21-51-50

Hair and bow: E77-74-71-70

At You Spica pen, Clear for the string and wings

Start by laying down a base with your E50 over the whole skin.

Remember that if you don't work so fast, you should take smaller sections at the time so the ink won't dry so much. Easier to blend it nice when the colours still are a bit wet.

Lay down your E23 where the shadows are deepest.

Under her arms, by the hair etc

Go half over your darkest colour with your next one, that is E21 and go a bit closer against the middle. Blend nice

Do the same thing with your next colour that is E51

I also used the E51 for her cheeks

Go over the rest of the motiv with the E50 and blend it in .

Repeat all the steps (except the E50 part in the beginning) if you want it a bit darker until you are satisfied with the depth.

Colour the bow and hair in the same way.

Lay down your base with E70 and then take E77-74-71-70

Use At you Spica on the string and wings.

Love these fine glitter pens, makes the loveliest shimmer ♥

Here she is my sweet Bonny Tilda♥

 

I was working together with my DTfriend Anne on this project and I sent the tag in the mail to her so she could decorate it.

Look here if you want to see the end result :)

Enjoy your day my friends

Hugs, Jill
