Magnolia Windy Tilda Falling For You Card


Hello Dearest Readers,

I hope you are doing well and enjoying your Fall. I've been in bed for the past week with a severe respiratory infection. It has been very bad. I thought about going to the hospital once or twice because I couldn't breathe due to the severe coughing. I think I'm on the mend, but am not so sure yet. I need to get well because Thanksgiving is coming and I have dinner to prepare. As you know, these holiday dinners take a lot of time, effort, and stamina. I'm pretty weak right now.

I have a card to share with you today. It's been done for a couple of weeks, but I never got around to taking a photo of it. Here it is:



This card features Windy Tilda from the 2007 Fall Stamps Collection. Notice the movement drawn into the image. I had talked about that in the previous post below. I love those older stamps because of that characteristic. I think this stamp is a cutie.

Tilda has been colored with DIs. There are many layers of card stock, decorative papers, doilies, and die cuts. All of the leaves have been punched from various colors of card stock. I used Doohickey dies for the mushrooms, street lamp, and fence. The cluster in the upper right features some little fruit I got from Magnolia as well as some textured grass leaves. I added real mini pine cones and a sweet little acorn charm. A bow of twine finishes off the cluster.
Here are a couple of close ups:

Magnolia Flower Power Tilda Vintage Tag


Hello Dearest Readers,

Well, it's been a while. Sorry about my absence. Things are so busy here, and I've been sick. I haven't even gotten to play with some of my new Magnolia "toys!" LOL

Today, I'm going to share with you a sweet tag featuring Flower Power Tilda from the 2006 Shabby Chic Collection. I love this little stamp. She was one of the first stamps I bought when I started card making after getting bored with scrapbooking. There's something so special about the earlier Magnolia stamps. I think it's the simple lines and the movement shown in the details. In this case, the way Tilda's hair is flowing. Here she is:



Tilda has been colored with Distress Inks, Prismacolor Pencils, and Derwent Watercolor Pencils. The paper used is Pion. The flowers are from my supply. I used Joy Craft dies, pearls, and a stick pin I put together.

Want to see the back? I did finish it but wanted it to be something on which a message could be written.



I just love this Pion paper. It is so feminine.
