Believe - Tilda With Wreath

I wanted to make one more Tilda card today and I finally completed it! I have been wanting to use my Basic Grey Wassail papers and I love the colors I was able to select from my Copics to compliment my paper. I knew as soon as I saw this Tilda that I had to add her to my collection. I just received my new "Nestie" label die and this made a perfect backdrop for Tilda. Poinseittias from Prima add the finishing touch. My card measure 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". This was a recent sketch from Friday Sketchers. And... I don't want to forget to mention some great blog candy! Kristine is celebrating her blogoversary - 350 posts in one year! She designs for Friday Sketchers and is very talented. Visit her blog here. I will be following her blog from now on! Hope to post more cards later "today" (yes, it is after midnight!). Goodnight!

Winter Wonderland

Busy week! I made a birthday card, a get well card, a sympathy card and four Magnolia cards. My grandchildren spent Veteran's Day with me and they love to help "Gramie" make cards! The two girls always want to make a Magnolia card. The 8-year old is very talented - stamping crisp images and especially careful with her coloring. I created this card for my Magnolia-licious group November "raining cards" event. I used "Rowdy Tilda" and "Tree With Snow" stamps to create this wintery scene. I embossed the blue background with the Cuttlebug snowflakes folder. I used a Nestability die cut circle on the tree and added silver Stickles to bring out the snowflakes. My top border and landscape border were punched with a Fiskars snowflake border punch. Tilda and the tree were colored with copic markers. I actually made four duplicate cards and had fun with all of these! I prefer to cut out my Tilda and Edwin images and attach to my backgrounds.
Thanks for looking!

Visions of Sugar Plums........

I want to share with you today a card I made just for fun! I definitely have the Christmas spirit. I received this cute C. C. Designs set and it reminded me of Christmases when I was a little girl. Here is a photo of my card:

Christmas cards are so much fun to make! I used the Basic Grey Wassail papers and my copic markers to color.
