New Challenge at Marvelous Magnolia - The Day Before Christmas

Hi everyone,

I can't believe it is the 1st September today, WOW this year has gone so quickly, before you know it Christmas will be upon us.

Well I am enjoying the last few days now before returning to school on Monday, sigh, but I have had the most wonderful summer holiday, I think I will remember this one for some time to come. 

Anyway, today we have a new challenge at Marvelous Magnolia and our theme is Ribbon or Lace.

I have coloured up a Maggie called The Day Before Christmas using DI reinkers.

I decided to make another shaker card using the lovely snow balls.

The papers are from the Hobby House, Vintage Christmas Stripe and Vintage Christmas Spot and I used a Martha Stewart punch in some areas to give a different effect.

I chose to make the card using ribbon, and I was totally in the zone, not really thinking about anything, I didn't  realise I had used some lace it until the card was finished, I think I am programmed to automatically to use it, but at least it is just  a little bit so hopefully I can get away with it.

The lace, pearl and square trim are from the Ribbon Girl.

The circular wreath peeping out on the left hand side is a Memory Box die called Frostyville Wreath and the Christmas text is a Crafters Companion Des'ire die.

I have cut the gorgeous holly leaves out from a Sizzix die called Holiday Greens and added some gesso to the tips of the leaves.

The ribbon, flowers and bells are from my stash

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hat/Ball Balls: Aged Mahogany, Fired Brick
Tree: Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters

The winner will win a $35  voucher to spend in the lovely I am Roses shop


Well that's it from me today.

Thank you for popping in.

Take care.

Hugs
Gina xx

  6. A stunning Christmas card, one which would adorn the mantel piece for many a year, being looked at and appreciated each time. A lovely traditionally coloured creation with a fabulous Tilda image and those snowballs look great too.
