New Challenge LHOSM - Favourite Embellishment

Here is my second post today.

 

It's time for a new challenge at LHOSM, and it’s a fab one ‘favourite embellishment’ and the prize this time is for GDT spot!

 

It wasn’t a hard decision, my favourite embellishments are Lace and Flowers, but I guess you all know that lol!

 

I have masked Tilda in Cotton Dress and Castle Background and coloured them with Copics in grey tones and added just a touch of Black Prisma pencil.  I used a Crealies die for the leaves and the swirl is a Magnolia Doohickeys die. The lovely lace, ribbon and flowers are from the Ribbon Girls.

 

Copics I used:

T6, 4, 2, 0

 

Pencil: Black

Well that’s it from me today; enjoy the rest of your weekend.

 

Thank you for popping in.

Magnolia Christmas Card

Good morning my lovelies,

 

I hope you are well!

 

I had a lovely day out at the Sandown Park Craft Show with my friends on Saturday. The show itself was a bit of a disappointment, but it certainly didn’t spoil the day. Phil (bless him) has offered to take me to Ally Pally in a couple of weeks time. I have to keep looking at the exhibitors list because I can’t quite believe my eyes, as Magnolia Sweden is on the list to be there woop woop!!

 I had a bit of a mammoth colouring session  on Sunday and I made this Christmas card, I can’t quite make up mind whether it works or not – what do you think? I think there is room for improvement. As there are so many images on it, and unfortunately some can't be seen, there wasn’t much room for anything else, which as you know is not normal for me lol!

 

 

I have used the following Magnolia stamps (some of them you can’t see very well): Winter Forest, Sweet Christmas Tilda, Log, Tilda with Fir, Tilda in the Forest. I have added Frantage to the image which looks like snow falling. The papers are Maja. I have used a Tim Holtz die to cut the Christmas trees and the ‘25’.

 

Copics I used:

Sweet Christmas Tilda

Skin: E31, 21, 00, 000, R20

Hair: E57, 43, 42, 41, 40

Tilda with Fir:

Skin: E31, 21, 00, 000, R20

Hair: E44, 42, 41, 40, R20

Tilda in the Forest:

Skin: E21, 00

Hair: E44, 42, 41, 40

Axe: C5, 3, 1, 0, E37, 35, 33, 31

Clothes for all the Tildas:

Blue – B99, 97, 95, 93, 91

Grey: W7, 5, 3, 1, 0

 

Pencils: Dark Umber, Burnt Ochre, Black

Magnolia 'Tilda with Lantern'

Good morning my lovelies,

 

I hope you are all well and have a lovely crafty weekend planned.

 

It’s been quite a busy week, but I am slowly getting into the swing of being back at work.

 

I am going to Sandown Park Craft fair today with a few friends to have a lovely crafty day out. I am also hoping to go to Ali Pali in a couple of week’s time as well and tomorrow I collect my new glasses so I will be able to see again wahoo. I can’t believe that my eyesite has deteriorated so much in a year; it is real struggle to see when colouring and reading, I guess it’s a sign of old age creeping up on me.

 

This is one of the first Christmas cards I made this year which I forgot to share with you using the lovely Tilda with Lantern and Old Swedish Church which is my favourite Christmas background stamp. The scene has been coloured with Copics and a few highlights added with Prisma Pencils. The ice stars are a Marianne die and I have added some Diamond Dust (Twinklets) to give an icier look. I have also used the Tim Holtz On the Edge Snowflake die at the top of the card.

 

Copics I used:

Skin: E31, 21, 00, 000, R20

Hair: E57, 55, 53, 50

Boots, Hat & Coat: W5, 3, 1, 0

Scarf: E43, 42, 41, 40

Church: E43, 43, 41, 40 Y02

Lantern: E43, 41, 40, Y02, Y000

Pencils: Burnt Ochre, Dark Umber, Black

 

I would just like to say thank for all your lovely comments, they cheer me up no end, particularly when I am struggling with my crafty mojo.

 

Have a lovely weekend.

 

Hugs
