Magnolia Fever?

Well, it appears I have caught Magnolia fever again! I can't seem to stop creating cards with the new images from the "Catching Butterflies" collection. This is another one of my favorite Edwins. I think what I like so much about this Edwin is the fact he has been caught in action chasing an elusive butterfly. I designed my card to show the butterfly sitting on top of my bow.

I used Copics for coloring and DCWV's Spring Stack dp. The corner embellishments are from a Sizzlit die and the butterfly from a MS punch. My cardstock is SU's certainly celery.

Would love to hear your comments!

Chasing Butterflies Anyone?

Where do the hours in the day go? I had planned to create this card earlier today and update my blog, but here it is...almost 10 p.m. at night. I am really thrilled with the new Magnolia Spring kit, "Chasing Butterflies"! I used my copics again and dp from DCWV's Whimsey collection. The sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Thanks for looking and I'd love to hear your comments!

Butterfly Tilda

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I vowed I would create and post a Magnolia card today and here it is. I'm not sure of the real name, but this little gal is part of the new Spring kit that was just released. I think this is one of the cutest kits ever. I spent most of my time today mounting this kit and other unmounted stamps I had on ez mount foam. I tend to procrastinate until I have a bunch to mount. I cut out some of my adhered stamps with a hot knife and this morning I just had to touch one of my fingers on the wrong spot and "ouch"! More about my card - I colored her with copics (my standard with Magnolia's) and used DCWV's blossoms and butterflies mat stack for my DP. Tilda is mounted on "nested flowers". I used my cuttlebug to emboss and cut the flowers and outlined the larger flower with a gold leaf pen. The small butterfly is also in the Spring kit. I also used candlelight shimmerz on Tilda's wings. I do have a sentiment under Tilda entitled "joy". Sorry about the shadow, but I was late finishing and daylight had disappeared! I don't know about you, but I lose all track of time which I'm upstairs in my craft room. I'd love to hear your comments!

Is This Your Egg?

I just love this Magnolia Edwin, how cute that he seems to be asking the hen if this is "her" egg! I think he is now my favorite Edwin. I used DCWV whimsy DP as well as their card stock, my cuttlebug, Martha Stewart checkerboard border punch and colored with my copics. What is your current favorite Magnolia?

I got into a cleaning frenzy in my craft room and spent most of last night and this morning digging out from under. DH says I have too much stuff - I say I need more room, LOL! I did some rearranging and I must say it looks a whole lot better. I just can't concentrate when I'm surrounded by clutter. Hopefully I can get my mojo back now. I hope everyone has a great weekend and happy stamping!
