"Be Mine" - Magnolia DT

Is it too late for Valentines??....Ahh....maybe we'll just call this a Love card....the colors are a little non traditional anyway.....

I've used one of the new Magnolia Love Collection stamps on this card......."LC09 Be Mine" ...As soon as I saw this stamp I thought of this little Tilda from the Magnolia New Year 2008 Collection ..."NY08 Dreamy Tilda". She almost seems to fit on top...lol. I've also used Jacquelines sketch here from a past Friday Sketchers. Thanks for the great sketch Jacqueline!!

The images were colored with prisamacolor pencils (oms), twinkling h20's and a copic E00 skin white marker for the skin (face and hands).

I used the SU Paisley background Stamp and Sahara Sand ink to give the white cs a little bit of texture. (heart, white layer and scrolls)

Quick Kutz die for the scrolls. Nesties for the scalloped heart. Cuttle bug die for the corners. Martha Stewart punches for the foliage.

Shimmerz on the flowers. Glitter on Tilda's wings, lace, be mine lace, scrolls and brads.

Tilda and Be Mine are popped up with foam dots.....and then the whole heart for added dimension.

Paper - GP white, Michael's white, Magnolia CS, dcwv and Fancy Pants (sweetpea), green scraps for leaves.

Ink - versafine black, creamy caramel, garden green, sahara sand

Accessories - pearls. bling, ribbon, cord, flowers, brads trim, stitching, Cuttle bug, MS punches

Hm mm...my counter is getting higher and higher......Wow!.....almost 150,000 hits......Just about time to celebrate with some candy in the near future!!

We are on the road again this weekend.......we're going to visit my 90 yr old mother who lives almost 4 hrs away!....It will be so good to see her!!

Have a Great Weekend everyone!!......and Thank You for all your Wonderful comments!!!

The Fabulous stamps I used for this card are all from High Hopes and are "Alberts Gift" - "Abigail" - "Wild Thing" - "Perched Birdie" - "Landing Birdie" and "Tree Element".

I also made this card to participate in the Stamp Something Challenge which is to made something 3D. For the layout I used the SC216 sketch (great sketch)

All images are colored with Prismacolor pencils (oms) and H20's. I continued the sentiment into the inside........I am not very good at decorating the inside of a card...but gave it a shot anyway.

The top part of the tree (leaves) are sponged with 2 different green inks.......SU Old Olive and SU Certainly celery. I also sponged the edges of the sentiment with SU creamy caramel ink.

The tree is masked and the background is brushed on with SU bashful blue, creamy caramel and close to cocoa inks.

Most of the images on the card are pop dotted...the dragons, flowers, birds, sentiment....and the whole panel. There is glitter on the dragon wings, flowers and Abigails bow.

I used nesties for the scallops (two pieces made and taped together to make a larger rectangle)...and a Martha Stewart punch for the fancy borders.

The raffia lace on the narrow panel behind the scene is lace I received from Bernie last year...I love this stuff!! Thank you so much Bernie!!

Paper - Georgia Pacific white, Treasures CS, K&Company
