To My Deer Friend

Today i would love to share a card which i was able to finish yesterday. I must say it was made under time pressure but i am still happy with the result.
The challenge over on Cute Card Thursday is for this week “Play on words” i must say i had to ask my husband about some ideas to actually “GET” it :-)
The other idea i had was IF i had the new cherry Tildas :-) to make a card “You are berry sweet” but hei.. just a few more days and i should have them.

This Motivet image “girl with deer” is one of my favorites from last years collection and i think the sentiment is quite cute with it too.

Stamp: Motivet”girl with deer”
Papers: Memory Box “Mistletoe”
Coloring :Copic Sketch
Flower: Cherry Blossom
Gems/Brads: Basic Grey, snowflake (art supply store)
you can also find a great selection of Motivet stamps over at Cute Stamps and cards who is one of those very rare retailers who are allowed to sell Motivet stamps.
Cute Stamps and Cards will be also attending Stempel Mekka in Germany this year. Make sure to swing by the booth to meet my friends Jacqueline and Agens!!!

Apples and Cherry Collection ~ Boo To You!

An other finished card with the new stamps. Must say…this is one of my favorite stamps in this Collection. OMG.. love how versatile it is.

I just thought it would be so cute and funny combined with the bat background from last year. Edwin totally scared holding on to a little tough girl :-)

My card uses  Magnolia papers layered and Basic Grey papers on top of each other. The image is colored with Copic Sketch markers and watercolors.

I must say my background did not stamp the image 100% so i had to trace the bats mostly by hand. A good marker to have for that kind of job are Multiliners by Copic. After the image was colored in i just used sparingly Stickles on the bats and the Gardenia. 

You can now PRE-order over at Sir Stampalot the next Magnolia INK issue. It is now available for a special price. I can tell you this issue will be PACKED with tutorials and gift ideas :-) as far i know there are also going to be a few more pages than the others because of all the tutorials the team has prepared. I can not wait to see it :-)

Colors used on my image are:
V 01/000/04
C colors
Edwin pants: BV 20/23/25
E25/27/29/21
Face: E000/00/R20/RV21/E11
Hair: E50/E31/34

Thank Heaven For Little Babies

Horray… finally i can show you a card made with the new Magnolia stamps and the best of all is.. i just got an email from Janice over at Sir Stampalot.. that their shipment of the new Apple and Cherry Collection stamps have arrived this morning and they are ready to ship. So, if you have not ordered yet… check them all out here! Check out some stamps that work for Christmas.. like Jolly Tilda :-) i have not seen those images before!

My card uses all Magnolia papers layered on top of each other. The sentiment is printed onto paper and i cut the shape with a Nestabilitie out. The Tilda Sleeping baby is stamped twice once adhered with pop up dots on top of the first one. lots of Stickles is on the ground and on the wings.
