Magnolia Birthday Girl!!

Okay, I'm hooked!! I looooooooooove these Magnolia stamps!! My gal Phebe is awesome, 'cause her store has them!!! I'm addicted....and she's my 'dealer' and I gotta have my fix!! Haahahahaa! The images are just SO cute and fun to work with!!

So I was able to play with this one last night. Her name is Tilda med Ballong and I think she is perfect for a birthday card and I can't wait to use her for Valentine's Day too!!

They posted 4 challenges last night as a Mini Virtual Stamping Night on Splitcoast, so I was able to play along. The challenge was to use Abundant Supplies!!! Well, I got THAT one covered, no problem!! Hahaha! You had to use 2 stamped images, 4 layers, 6 colours and 8 embellishments. I went over on a couple of them....can you imagine.....me....going overboard??? Also I used Beate's awesome Weekend Sketch Challenge for the layout!!

Anyway, I started by stamping Tilda on this awesome white cardstock that I got from Papertrey. It's the first time I've used it and it totally rocks!! It's super white and super thick and takes the markers beautifully!! I used my Archival Versafine Black Onyx ink. As you can see, I just can't seem to get away from this yummy dp by Fancy Pants!! The colour combination is so ME and they match perfectly with SU colours. I coloured her in using my SU markers in Blush Blossom, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Bashful Blue, Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa. I used my Aquapainter to create somewhere for her to sit and then I added some sparkle around the balloon and around her wings with my Sakura Stardust gel pen. I also added some white with my Signo gel pen. Then I made the little pop up sentiment area using several different punches and a Bella sentiment!

Do you love her???? If I've got you hooked on them like me, (insert evil laugh here) I'd be happy to give you Phebe's email address!!! And she'd be more than happy to help you get some!!
