SCMC: Seeing Stars

Hello Friends! It's time for another challenge at 

Stamp and Create with Magnolia.

Our theme for the next 2 weeks is:

Seeing Stars

In celebration of the 4th of July, Independence Day, we would like to see stars on your cards/projects.  It doesn't have to be 4th of July related. Just remember to add stars on your cards/projects.

For my take on this challenge, I made a birthday card for my son who is turning 12 this month. I colored Edwin with Derby Hat using Copic Markers. And I used die cut stars to embellish the card.

Now. it's your turn! Link up your creations HERE for a chance to win:

Thank you for stopping by and  have a safe July 4th!

WOC soon at Stamp and Create

Do you love mulberry paper flowers? I do!

Stamp and Create will be carrying Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers soon!

Here I have Guard of the Castle (Edwin) from the Little London Collection. I made this for a classmate in nursing school who is a nurse in London.

I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers.

Four Seasons

Hello there!

I'd like to share a very simple and very easy project/frame I made last night. There's a hole in the wall in my craft room that I'd like to cover so I thought of making something to cover it...so I don't have to stare at it.

Here, I used the Afternoon Tea Plant from the Little London Collection. And I colored it with Copics Sketch Markers in 4 different shades, representing the 4 seasons.

I ope you like my simple project today. 

Thanks for looking and let me know that you came over and stopped by.

See you again soon!

London Tilda

It's a wet, (but not so) gloomy day here in Chicago. 

A perfect day craft and also to snuggle up and have some hot cocoa or a bowl of warm chicken soup.  And because it is raining, my card for you today features London Tilda from the 

Little London Collection. 

I used Magnolia Blue Vintage Hydrangea designer paper from the Sea Breeze Collection.

As usual, I colored her with DI Reinkers and I stamped the image using Archival Ink Coffee (2nd/3rd generation).  It may look like it's a no-lines technique but actually you can still the light brown lines. It sort of fades when the image is colored with darker ink so it seems like there are no lines.  But in the light colored areas of the image, you can see the lines.

Flowers are from WOC and the charms, metal corner, doily, lace, seam binding are all from my stash.
I also covered the air clay heart with Crackle Accents.  For the rain drops, I used Glass Effects.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Don't forget, tomorrow is Magnolia Day in Boras, Sweden!

There will be prizes and give aways, tutorials/demos and lots of fun stuff!

Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for stopping by and I really appreciate all your comments...
and letting me know you were here.

See you soon!
Hugs!
