Stamp and Create DT

Great news folks..

I can finally shout it out loud..

I'm a Stamp and Create Design Team member..

Yayyyyy!!!

And here's my first creation for the Stamp and Create blog:

I've used North Pole Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013..

I got a gorgeous Christmas card from Lacey, the owner of Stamp and Create, with this cutie on and I just had to ink mine up..

She's one of my favourites from this collection but they are all adorable.. And most important.. All available in the store..

The papers are once again from Maja Design.. 

This time from the Vintage Frost Basics Collection..

The Tilda Tag of course is from Magnolia..

I've added two mini bells on it with a bit of twine..

The small snowflake is one of the latest Doohickey's.. It's just a part of the set called So Wrapped Snowflake..

And take a look at those gorgeous headpins..

Take a look at this gorgeous White Silk Ribbon.. Amazing to the touch..

I use the Bow Easy tool to make perfect bows..

I also love this cute little snowflake charm..

The circle used to cut out the image is a Marianne Design die..

I've added a doily and lots of pearls as usual..

The Poinsettia is one of my favourite Magnolia dies..

All the paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and then inked..

They are machine sewn too..

The Slender Fir is also a Magnolia die..

I've added some Frantage on it..

The Chrysantemum is from Kort & Godt.. All the other flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts..

The lace is just stunning, isn't it?

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both ink pads and reinkers..

List of colours:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks: Tattered Rose

Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Background: Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone

Jacket, hat and boots: Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Gloves and tights: Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Something I really like to use on my Winter cards is the Liquid Applique..

I've added some under her feet and on the hat..

Can you see the fantastic effect it gives?

There's some Frantage around the image too.. I wanted it to look like snow..

Soooo.. Do you like it?

If the answer is yes:

You can find this and many other one of a kind Magnolia cards in my Etsy shop HERE..

A great gift for a loved one or even for yourself.. LOL!

Tea Time

Hi everyone!

This is going to be a strange post..

I'm mixing all kinds of challenges and things in this post..

I haven't been feeling very well lately and I had to come up with something..

Here's my newest creation..

I love the new Little London Collection 2013 and I couldn't wait any longer to colour my Afternoon Tea Tilda.. She's so gorgeous.. And the Afternoon Tea Bench as well..

The DP's are of course from Maja Design.. This is a sheet from the Autumn Basics Collection and it's so gorgeous on both sides that I decided to go with just this one..

Of course there's some vintage seam binding on the tags.. Those are Magnolia Doohickey's..

And there's a doily too..

I've added some Shabby White Frantage around the image and on the tags..

There's a piece of corrugated cardboard under the image and I covered it with Crackle Paint..

The pearls are a must have and I'm falling in love with all those gorgeous pins, berries and other stuff you can find in Sandy's store..

You cand find the lace and the gingham ribbon there too..

And of course all those flowers and the foam flower buds are just amazing, don't you think?

The frame is made out of FIMO Air with a mould I got on Etsy..

Some more gorgeous flowers on the right..

And let's not forget that awesome charm.. It says 'tea time'.. Love it!

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks and re-inkers..

This is the first time I colour a whole image with only Walnut Stain..

Except for the flower of course.. I've used Aged Mahogany for that one..

The flourishes are from Stempelglede and the postmark is from Magnolia..

I still haven't told you that this card is for the Midweek Magnolias midway reminder..

The theme is song bird and I've chosen a very nice song - Doris Day - Tea For Two..

The other challenge is the Marvelous Magnolia challenge..

We have a Halloween theme this week..

What do you think? I thought it would be nice not to make the usual spooky card.. LOL!

Well..

I really hope you can join both challenges cos' you don't want to miss the chance to win some great prizes..

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

1. Dutch Magnolia Lovers - Challenge #66

2. You Me and Magnolia - Challenge #20 - Anything Goes

3. Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia - Challenge #80 - Dots or Stripes

You can find the links to most of the products used for this card at the end of the post..
