Summer Magnolia Design Team Challenge!!!

So I mentioned that I got the new Magnolia Summer Stamp Club Kit on Friday and I've been having a lot of fun playing with the wonderful new images. It's getting rather hot and muggy here in Southwestern Ontario and feeling a LOT like summer!! So these stamps are perfect right now!



Some of you have asked me how to get in on the Club Kits. Firstly the Kit is not something that you can get through any other vendor as they are sold straight through Magnolia only from Sweden but they do ship worldwide. Eventually these stamps are released individually but they are only sold as a group at a greatly reduced price directly from Magnolia. You can go to THIS LINK and order the Fall Kit now. It will not be released for a few months but when it does, it will be shipped directly to you.



Okay, on to the cards!! This week's Magnolia DT Challenge was to make a 'Summery Card', so these stamps arrived just in time!! I chose to play with this cute little Tilda in her bathing suit and I masked her with a sticky note and stamped the little wooden dock overtop. Both the dock and the girl have rings around the bottom to make it look like there is water there. I made two cards using this same masked image using the Bali Breeze designer papers by Stampin' UP. I coloured the images in with my Copic markers and for the first card the sketch I used is from this week's OCCC Challenge. I used coordinating cardstock in Purely Pomegranate, Apricot Appeal and Taken with Teal. For embellishments I used some Prima flowers and brads, stitched grosgrain ribbon, pop dots, Stardust Stickles and some white acrylic paint for the highlights. On the square one I used a Stampingbella sentiment and on the smaller card the sentiment is by My Favorite Things.



Don't forget to join in my sketch challenge and you could win some of the brand new High Hopes release stamps!!! Have a stampin' good day!!!
