Lillyrose the Dragon

Today I have made a card called a Peek-a-Boo card. I got the pattern from Norma's blog. She is so good at doing tutorials and this one I really loved making.
The paper I used is from The Paper Shelter and is one of their digi packs called 'Vintage flower for you'.
I also used the Spellbinders ovals and scalloped ovals.
The little mini dragon is from the Princes and Princesses Magnolia stamp collection. She is called Lillyrose. I think she is really cute. I made this card for my sister's birthday. she loves dragons so this was ideal for her card.
I coloured Lillyrose with my ShinHan twin brush markers.
Here are some photo's.

The angles of the photo's were a bit hard to take.

You can find the Tutorial on Norma's blog and see her lovely creation.

Bear Hugs

My card today is made with the Magnolia Hobbie bear. Isn't he cute?
I used Promarkers to colour them. Leaves are a mixture of punches in my stash. the flowers are die cuts.
I distressed the edges with Antique Linen. MS around the corner punches were used as well.

My DH has his appointment with the surgeon next Tuesday so it shouldn't be long before his operation.
the waiting is always the hardest time.

Anyhow here is my card.

Miss Muu Muu

It has been awhile since I have posted anything. I have been looking after my DH. He is feeling much better and will soon be having his lung operation. The sooner the better I say.
Don't you just love Miss Muu Muu the cow.
I have made a very simple card and colored her with Promarkers.

The whole card.

Tilda with Hawaiian Flower

Today my card has 'Tilda with Hawaiian flower' from the Butterfly Dreams Collection.
The DP is from Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden Collection. I just love that paper. The strip down the middle is from 'My Minds Eye Home.
The doily behind the Spellbinder scalloped circle nestie is from My Favorite things and is called High Tea party.
I also used a DooHickey vintage tag. The flowers are from WOC with some fernery thrown in.
I have been enjoying using my Prismacolor Premier pencils lately and have colored Tilda with them. The sky I did with Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Distress ink.
I meant to mention that I got the tutorial for the clouds from Cabio's blog here  Thanks Cabio. I really enjoyed making these clouds

Magnolia-licious extravaganza Competition

At last another post. This is my entry for the Magnolia-licious Extravaganza Competition

There is still time to enter. Diana is offering fabulous prizes. This one is for the category #1 Full size Magnolia image. I used Tilda with bunny. I think she is so cute. I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The corner dies are from Nellie Snellen called Nellie's multi frames. I stitched around the DP that is one from a friend so have no idea what it is called. The flowers are from W.O.C.

Close up of Tilda.

Another close up.

I went to the hospital to find out what was going to be done next and I have now been referred to a Respiratory specialist. A little frustrating as I now have to wait for an appointment. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long. My Urologist has said that it is no longer his department. Oh well!! That's life huh!!

Tilda and Friend

At long last I have put a new card on. I must say it has taken me a long time.
Since my DH Doug had his operation (a roaring success) I have had some sort of infection in my body that just doesn't seem to want to go no matter what. I certainly have improved but find my energy levels are very low. I enjoyed making this card of Tilda with lamb. Little lamb looks not quite right in color but I wll practice some more. I actually used my Prismacolor pencils and white spirits for this one.

Bereavement card

I have made this card for a friend who lost her Mother last Tuesday. She is Dutch and I thought this Magnolia stamp of two flowers was so right. I wanted to make the card very simple.
I have coloured it with distress inks. Dusty concord for the flowers and Bundled sage for the leaves. I used Pumice stone to put shading around it. I used Spellbinders oval frames and a scalloped frame. I also used a spellbinders tag for the sentiment. The two side panels are from an embossing folder. Sorry I can't remember the name of it.
The Magnolia Stamp is called Two Tulips and it's from the Hoppy Easter collection. You can get it here

Tilda's Easter Baket

Hi!

I have been having fun making this great woven Easter basket from here
I made the flowers from the Nelli Snellon punches and the leaves from Martha Stewart punch. This Dinner Tilda was one of my first Tilda's from Magnolia stamps 
Tilda is coloured with distress inks. I must say I still haven't really got the hang of them yet but hey! I'm having fun learning. Tilda is sitting inside a Spellbinders frame.

No Easter eggs in there yet.

Tilda with umbrella

This is a card I did for a friends birthday. I coloured her with Prismacolor premier pencils and OMS. I tend to not put a lot of patterned papers on my cards as you have probably noticed. The side panel is one that a friend had given me and I believe it is a Martha Stewart punch. Tilda's background is a cuttlebug embossing folder.
I hope you like it. Hopefully my colouring is improving.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone.
Yes! I know I am a little late. I have had a computer crash and it has taken me since before New years eve to fix it.
Here is my wrapped Tilda that I was able to finally put on.
I coloured her with Prismacolor premier pencils and odorless spirits. I have put her on Spellbinders scalloped oval and the plain oval. The flowers are ones I have made and the leaves I punched from the maple leaves punch and coloured them to look like Ivy. Then I added Faux brads that I copied from Patti Jo's card. I thought that was a great idea. I haven't made them before. Hope you like it. My colouring is still being worked on.
Hugs Marion

Silent Night

Gosh! not long to Christmas. Where did this year go?
Here is another cute Tilda. I feel so relaxed colouring these gorgeous little girls in.
I have coloured her with my Prismacolor pencils and a colorless blender. I usually use an odorless white spirits but thought I would try the blender pencil. They work quite good I think! I sat her on a Spellbinders die cut frame and blinged it up a bit.
I hope you like her. I'm really getting to like stamping (something very new to me). I didn't even put flowers on this. Most unusual for me as that is my passion...to make sculptured flowers. It is nice to have a change.
Hugs Marion
