Mother's Day Magnolia

In Europe Mother's Day is in March, I live in the US and it's in May, since I can't get a Mother's Day card for my Nana in Scotland I decided to make my own.  Now I know it's past already but we usually send her cards in May so that's what this one is for.  My mum will be heading there in a couple of weeks and will be taking this with her so I wanted to get it on my blog before it was gone!

I used one of my favorite Magnolia's on this card.  I colored her in greens and when I made my card I was sure I had done her in blue's but she does match.  The paper I used is from TLC and the flowers are from CTMH and Prima.  The little charm is also from CTMH.  Ribbon is from TLC.  I colored her with copics.  She is popped off the page for a more dimensional look.  There is a ribbon slide under the knot and the safety pin to hold the charm that says LOVE.  I used little pearls on each of the flowers on the card.

It started out as a standard card like the one shown in the photograph but has since then been converted to an easel card so my Nana can display it!

Monochromatic Magnolia...

Whew!  Say that 3 times fast...

I created this easel card today using only black, white, gray, and red. It's my take on a monochromatic card with a touch of red.  I saw someone else color an image in all grays and I absolutely loved it (I'm sorry, I can't remember who it was and I scoured the internet looking too).  I used a Magnolia image and Copic colors C1, C3, C5 and C7.  I also used the Copic Spica Glitter Pens for her wings and the hearts but it may be hard to see in the pictures.  The paper is from DCWV Glitter Stack and CTMH. Flowers are from Prima and the sentiment, safety pin and charm are from CTMH.

This is my 2nd Tilda and my first try at the easel card and I'm quite pleased *toot toot*

I hope you like her! And guess what?  I have no idea what I'm going to do with her!

Thanks for looking and have a scrapping day!

He Loves me...

This is my very first ever Magnolia card.  This is for the March Mingle on the Magnolia-licious Yahoo group.  I used "Loves Me Tilda" purchased from 7 Kids College Fund.  I really enjoy looking at this card, it's by far the best card I think I have ever made.  So much time went into making this card.  I'm sad to see it go but I know the person who receives it will enjoy it as much as I do!  I'll just have to go make another one :)

Here is another shot of the details of my card:

Kid's got talent!

This is the very first Magnolia card my 12 year old daughter made.  Some talent huh!?!  I haven't even made a Magnolia card yet.  She colored the image all by herself even the shading of the hair (which I've been trying to teach her).  She wanted to do Suzanne Dean's Scandinavian look but it will take more time to teach so she went with the basic coloring and shading.  I'm such a proud mommy :)
This card is to give to her brother's Kindergarten teacher who is always giving her gifts for helping in the classroom.  What a sweetie!

She used paper from one of those Stacks

Ribbon from JoAnn's

Brads from CTMH

Flowers from Prima

Doily is from Mother's Day Cricut Cartridge
