Inspiration Challenge Tuesday - Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog

 http://magnolia-liciouschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/inspiration-challenge-tuesday.html

Magnolia-licious Challenge blog had an Inspiration Challenge this week.  We were able to look at a photo and make a card using a Magnolia image from what inspired us from that photo.  For me it was the COLORS of the pink, yellow and a splash of BLUE!  At first I thought surely I can't use the blue.....  But after the card was finished I LOVE IT!  haha......  Again I used my Prismacolor pencils to outline and shade with.  I used my stump and odorless mineral spirits to help move the pencil line for a shadow look.  I sprayed the frame and starts with GRAPHITE colored Glimmer Mist.  Sentiment is by Hero Arts.  This card will be going postal Monday to my friend, Alma in St. Marys, GA to help her celebrate her birthday.  Thanks for stopping by.

Merry Christmas

I DECIDED TO GO WITH A VERY SIMPLE CHRISTMAS CARD THIS YEAR.  I WAS ABLE TO MAKE ALL MY CARDS IN 2 DAYS.  AND THAT FELT WONDERFUL!  I ALSO DID NOT USE UP TONS OF MY SUPPLIES OR TIME MAKING THEM EITHER.  SO MANY TIMES OUR CARDS WE'VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS MAKING GO TOSSED INTO THE TRASH BY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS THAT JUST DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT TOOK TO MAKE THEM THAT SPECIAL CARD.  SO...... THIS YEAR I WENT SIMPLE, BUT STILL HANDMADE AND PRETTY TOO.  A LITTLE CRYSTAL EFFECTS WENT ON THE RED BERRIES TO GIVE THEM SOME SHINE!  AND OUR ANNUAL LETTER WILL GET TUCKED DOWN INSIDE.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TO SEE ME.....

CELEBRATE Magnolia-licious Challenge PINK & YELLOW

This is my Magnolia-licious Challenge card for the first challenge on the blog for yellow and pink.  I plan to send this card to my dear friend, Gail who will be celebrating her birthday in a couple more weeks.  PP is by Heidi Grace called It's my Party.  The ribbon was given to me by Cynthia and is actually a holiday ribbon that has a flocked feel to it.  You won't believe. It came from Walmart and the cost was $2......  Love it!  Great even for a wedding card. 
I have played with my prismacolor pencils after coloring my image with copics to do some shadowing.  I love this look on an image.  I plan to keep playing and practicing it. 
Thanks for stopping by.

Snowflakes fall.....

This is my mingle card for November using a Magnolia image that I'll be sending out to Jody Blaufus.  I saw this pretty pp from Anna Griffin and knew it would make a pretty card for a sweet Magnolia image.  Several nesties were used on this card.  Coarse glitter from MS, along with the MS snowflake punch.  Computer generated sentiment.  Satin ribbon.  Flowers from my stash.  Image colored with copics.  Thanks for stopping by.
