Square Card....Oh so Fun

Today is my day to be "Hip and Square" at MSL.  Not sure it is good to be both of those at the same time, LOL!

I have created a square card using a Heart Outline Stamp and the special Magnolia with Koala stamp.  This is a very layered card, with lots of colors.

I love the heart that I layered.  Here is a pic of the side view, and a close up of the heart.  I used colored pencils on this with gamsol.

I colored Tilda with copic markers.  Just love this stamp.

I used the Core'dinations Gemstones paper, misc scraps of paper, and Spellbinders Fancy Tags. This card was fund to create.  I hope it will inspire you to create one of your own.

Happy Wednesday,

Hugs, Meg

Hello Stampers!

It is an honor to be part of the Hip 2 Be Square Challenge here at Magnolia Stamp Lovers.   The challenge is to use Tilda or Edwin on a Square Shaped Card.

I choose to use Pearl Tilda.  She is part of the Summer Memories Magnolia Collection (available at www.stampingscrapping.com )

To create an ocean environment, I used glimmer mist.  This was my first experience with it.  It is a lot of fun and not as messy and I thought.  I have avoided the bottles sitting on my shelf because I was fearful of the mess they would create.  Today I put on my brave face on and pulled them down.   I laid a few paper towels on the kitchen counter and sprayed my white card stock.  It took the card stock about 2 hours to dry.  It took less than a minute to clean up.  I'm so mad at myself for letting them sit on the shelf for so long.  I can see that I'm going to be ordering more colors (also available at www.stampingscrapping.com).

Little bits of Illuminate on seahorse

Glimmer Mist comes in a rainbow of colors and has little pieces of mica in it.  It leaves a shimmer on the surface of the paper.  The shades of blue change a bit depending on how the light hits the card.  It was the perfect choice to create a underwater world.  I used three colors of blue (listed below).  I layered them lightest to darkest to give the illusion of light penetrating the water.    Lastly I used Staz-On ink to stamp the landscape, animals and verse.

These are the materials I used:

Stamps:

• Pearl Tilda by Magnolia
• Ocean Floor by Stampscapes
• Fish by Stampin Up
• Turtles by Mark's Finest Papers
• Verse by Great Impressions
• Glimmer Mist: Sea Glass, Turquoise Blue and Riptide
• Copics:
• Skin: E00, E00, E11, E01
• Hair: YR31, Y21, Y26, E50
• Mermaid Tail: BV17, BV13, BV02, BV00, BV000, RV04, RV02, RV00
• Seahorse: BG09, BG07, BG05, BG02, BG01, BG000

I put a little Illuminate Smooch on Tilda's Tail and some Stardust Stickles around the edges of the card to finish it off. 

Sparkles on the Fish

Happy Stamping!  I can't wait to see your Hip 2 Be Square Cards!

Sea You Soon (Ha...Ha..)

Thank You!!!

Hello  Friends,

Vivi here and today I bring a thank you card that I made for the flowers challenge.
Take a look:

I tried to leave it as clean and simple as possible!!!
I love this stamp by Magnolia, it is called Fantasy Flower and it is from Fairy Tale Collection.

I colored it with copic markers. Cardstock is from Basic Grey. I used my Tim Holtz alcohol applicator to add a bit of yellow ink all around the flower.

I place my image in a standard circle and beaded circle nesties. Sentiment and pearls are from my stash!

I hope you come over to join our challenge!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

xoxo

Bouquet of Flowers

I thought this image, Tilda loves Flowers, was a perfect image to post around Mother's Day!  I just love this image, but this is the first time that I have had a chance to use it.  I used Basic Grey Sweet Threads cardstock on this card.  The base of the card is Core'dinations Gemstones.

I used rhinestones down the left side and used two different Martha Stewart Punches on the right side of the card.

Here is a close up of the adorable Tilda on the card.

I hope this inspires you to create a card using a Tilda with flowers on it and join the MSL Challenge!

Hugs, Meg
