Magnolia Spring Collection 2012, lazy summer days!

It's been a while since I made a card using my favourite stamps collection! so to put that right I have made this summery stepper card using the new Magnolia spring stamp release, I have used acetate and created a beach scene in the background, used Tim Holtz crackle paints (difficult to capture how lovely this card looks using acetate on camera!) have to say given the amount of rain we have this week it certainly cheered me up :)) hope it has you too! .....Have fun crafting folks!

April's Magnolia card....

Hi everyone.... oooh quite a while since i posted a card so thought i would share this Tilda card i have done this evening, i have used some free papers from Simply cards and paper craft magazine, the colours green and peach was inspired from a blog candy challenge, i must admit i struggled to find peachy tones in the hundreds of paper collections i have so i was thankful for the free gift in the mag....it worked i think....the camera image is a lovely stamp and works very well if you are a magnolia collector,  Edwin also looks fab when used in this image,  i have used  momento dye ink for the stamped images, coloured with pro markers, satin ribbon threaded through the  border trims, flowers handmade...glitz and glitter and pearls ..... hope you like it....back soon bloggers ....X
