Reminder August Challenge Simply Magnolia

Just a reminder of the 

challenge over at Simply Magnolia. We are now halfway through that challenge so please come and join us. :)

You can make whatever you like as long as your card/creation has Magnolia products on it.

I have used Rainy Edwin from the Summer, Sun & Rain Collection from 2006 by Magnolia. An oldie but a goodie. :) I loved jumping in the puddles during the Summer rain when I was I child. I mean it is Sweden - it is going to rain. 🙈I coloured Edwin with Distress Inks and added some Stickles in Diamond on his wings and Glossy Accents on the puddle. The patterned papers are from the Pink Lemonade by Lawn Fawn. I wrote Du gör mig glad när himlen är grå, which means You make me happy when the sky is grey in Swedish, with Label letters by Tim Holtz/Idea-ology.

Reminder January Challenge Simply Magnolia

Just a reminder of the 

challenge over at Simply Magnolia. We are now halfway through that challenge so please come and join us. :)

You can make whatever you like as long as your card/creation has Magnolia products on it.

I have used an oldie today for my card. She is called Little Ballerina and she is from the Summer & Sun/Rain Collection from 2006 by Magnolia. I coloured her with Distress Inks. I have used a post stamp die and embellished the card with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and some pink pearls. I have really challenged myself with this card. I find it difficult to make cards that are monochrome and cards that have the colour pink on it but I think it turned out ok.
