Tilda with Heart Snow Ball

Oh my gosh, I am just loving the new collection by Magnolia, My Sweet Dream Christmas. I have alraedy inked up two but have made one card to enter into two challenges. The Mad for Markers Challenge which was a sketch to follow and the very first challenge created by Bron at ShopBron Maggie Lovers Challenge which was to use brown and red/and or pink. Well here is my entry and I am so pleased with the result.

I have used Red cardstock and all the DPs are from the Kaiser collection  'Tis The Season. The DP behind Tilda is called 'Stocking' and the background DP is actually flocked and is just beautiful. On the snowflakes are a new product from Kaiser called Sparklets and boy am I loving them. Here is a close up, the background of the heart snowball is actually pink and then covered in Rock Candy.

Sorry I didn't write down the Copics that I used. The 'tis the season stamp is from Whimsy and are fantastic and super easy to use.

How cute are the Sparklets, they are like a ball of bling!!!!!

Sorry a few technical hitches can you see the number now?

Welcome and yes I am still here

Welcome to all my new followers its great to have you aboard. Only 2 days left until I draw my candy, how exciting. Well I have been busy crafting but it hasn't been making cards. I have been busy basting a quilt to be stitched and I am trying to finish "A Boys Story" that I started a looooong time ago. I was managing a block a month then they had a hold up on fabric and I lost my mojo. Oh well I do have two cards that I would love to share. The first card is one that a lady at work asked me to make and here she is.

and here is a close up

I was also very excited yesterday to have my custom rubber stamp arrive from Whimsy Stamps. I love ordering from these guys, always excellent service, well here is my stamp.

I have also made a card for the Magnolia-Licious Challenge Blog. We don't celebrate Halloween in Australia but I have loved this Tilda image for such a long time and managed to pick her up when someone was selling off their unused Tildas. I also love the colours that I have used, purple, orange, green and black. They look AMAZING together, well I think so take a look what do you think?

Here are the Copics I used

Here is a close up of Tilda. I cut out the cobwebs from the DP and stuck them around Tilda. I then covered the card in Smooch and Glossy accents. The green paper was punched with SU scallop punch and the ribbon was perfect with the cobwebs. I also wanted to share a photo of my boys from the Kaiser Craft kids carnival day last weekend. I am lucky enough to live near a Kaiser Craft outlet and the carnival day last week was lots of fun. I got to shop and never got harassed once about when we were going to leave which usually happens with the two boys and this is why, yes the boys got to play with the reptiles!!! Snakes, crocodiles, lizards, frogs a dream day out for all!!!
