Tilda With Candle

I adore this sweet new image from Magnolia Stamps. I couldn't wait to color her! I used some of the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding paper as the background paper and then pulled the colors from the paper to color Tilda. I wanted it to be soft, so I didn't use any really dark colors. I created a mask and used my air compressor to airbrush the background.

The ribbon was some velveteen holiday ribbon from my stash and I used the Martha Stewart branch punch for the foliage.

I just loved the Magnolia Stamp of Edwin with the bike so much, I added the Tilda with bike and decided to pair them together for one card. I used some Basic Grey paper for the background. I used a plethora of Nestabilities for the ovals, circles, etc.!! I also played more with my air compressor!

Boy's Best Friend

This image from Magnolia Stamps is so cute! I used some of the paper from Basic Grey (June Bug collection) with the cute doggies on it and decided to play with it a bit.

Rainy Day Fun

I made this card for an online challenge at the Copic Creations site. I have been wanting to color this image in the new Magnolia collection for a bit, but was looking for the right paper as a starting point. The paper is from my stash and is by Heidi Grace Designs. The challenge for this one was "blonde hair." I went a little darker with the hair, (it scanned darker than in real life) but I think it turned out nice! Of course it is colored with Copic markers. I also used the Cuttlebug "Spots and Dots" embossing folder.
