A Special Gift - A Foamiran project for Magnolia-licious

Hi! I hope you're having a wonderful start of the week, and that you have no Monday blues after the weekend :) 

Here i am again to share with you a sweet and special gift, which incorporates also some Foamiran flowers. We had a new addition to our Community of Sisters some weeks ago, and as part of the Welcoming Gift, I decided to make this lovely set, based on blue shades when it comes to colour. 






There is this lovely Bible verse hand made cushion (which I did not do myself, but another lady did it and was selling these cushions to raise money for charity), a pair of matching tea light candle holders, and this scented blue (Ocean smell) candle in a jar, which one can purchase from candle shops and Supermarkets etc. 


I peeled off its cover and decorated it with some lovely crafty stuff. I really had fun doing it, and I think I will alter some more of these candle jars in the future. 






On the cute blue ribbon with hearts I added these two charms - a cross and a sandal. The reason why I specifically chose these two is to signify the beginning of the journey which the person chose to start- the one that follows the Lord by becoming more and more like Him through the Vocation of Religious Life. 

As you can notice, I also added a blue and a yellow foamiran flower, which seem to have become part of my projects at the moment. 




For these gorgeous flowers I have used sky blue and yellow foamiran. Stamens used: 

(1) white (001) and gold (034) for the blue flower. 

(2) White (001) and light blue (021) stamens for the yellow ones.

Obviously all these products and much much more can be found at Magnolia-licious Store. And DO GO and check out, both the Store and our CHALLENGE BLOG, as there is a fantastic offer and giveaway right at this moment! 


Cheers, 
Rosette

A Fairy Nest to accompany you to a magical world

Hi there!


Here I am again to share with you another sweet image from Mo's Digital Pencil. I just fell in love when Mo put this image on her website and Fb page. It is called Fairy Nest and I decided to play with it by creating a bookmark.





💜💜💜

I do think that books take you to a magical world where you become part of a story, visit new places in your imagination and befriend characters which invite you to their story, their circumstances. Therefore I really found it very fitting for this cutie to be used in a book mark.




💜💜💜


I coloured the image with Copics, and the main paper I used is from Bo Bunny's Provence Collection. I also added some clouds using my self-made template, and last, but not least, some Stardust Stickles on the Fairy wings and around the image.




💜💜💜


I just love how this turned out, and I finished with a computer generated sentiment on the back of the bookmark.

I really hope that have you have some time to play as well, and that you're having an awesome week! I already have some flu symptoms, it seems that Autumn is getting into some windy cold temperatures.





💜💜💜


Many blessings, and keep smiling always! And if you love reading, and may have neglected this hobby a bit, do pick up a new book for some motivation and let go into this magical world!

A gift for you I bring - Magnolia-licious DT

Happy Friday dear special people!!

I hope you had a wonderful week, and that you are ready for a smashing weekend. Mine was quite a busy week, and am looking forward for a quieter end of the week. Today it's my turn for an inspirational card at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog, and I chose to feature not only an older Magnolia stamp, which is Tilda with Wedding Gifts, form 2010, but also some fabulous paper which Shawn has in Store, ready for grabs!




As you can see, most Magnolia stamps are very versatile and can be used for various occasions. In my case, Tilda is not bearing Wedding gifts, but Christmas ones :) Remeber that at Magnolia-licious you can find many, many of these stamps, and most of them with a smashing sale price that is unbelievable!

The papers are Lemon Craft's Christmas Carols papers, and you can find them HERE. There are many more awesome Christmas papers for you, like Maja Design's Home for the Holidays, and the I Wish Collection. 

The postcard which you can see, is part of one one of Pion's Long Time Ago in Betlehem's papers. The panel behind the postcard, is created with another older Magnolia stamp, which is the Silent Night music notes. I stamped this on a piece of watercolour paper inked with Distress Colours.





I checked another Christmas card off the list, a happy girl I am! To be honest, I do not send these cards to everyone, as I prefer to use traditional Christmas cards, believing that the Birth of Jesus is the reason for the Season, therefore He needs to be the spotlight. But I either send these to other Crafters, or give them as gifts to be used for someone else.






This is a chipboard Christmas decoration, which I made more beautiful with Stardust Stickles and red bling. I also Distressed the edges with Walnut Stain for more effect.





I used a gold pen for one of the gifts and one of the ribbon, to add more shine. Unluckily this does not really sohw well on the photograph, but IRL it looks pretty :)







I hope you liked this card, and that you check out the STORE for more toys to play! Shawn keeps adding things for our crafty craziness, and we just love them! 

Sending a warm smile and some positive vibes across to you who spent some time with me here. Let me know you think about it, and if you ever tried some of these products yourself! Happy Weekend!

Peggy - Mo's DT

Hi again dear awesome crafty friends!!!


I am back with another card, this time showcasing one of Maurie Manning's awesome digi stamps. This cute girl's name is Peggy, and she can be found HERE.





It was a delight to colour her, and had lots of fun creating dimension and a background. I have coloured her with Copics, and matched her with a paper which has a lot of small hearts. It inspired me to use this one because of the heart which Peggy has on her top.





I also added some fun embellishments, including this wooden butterfly, on which I stuck some rhinestones. Added to that, some film strip ribbon, paper and foamiran flowers and some Stickles made sure that the card is girly enough! :)





I hope that you get to visit Mo's Store and check out the fun stamps you can find there! I am always amazed at what she can do with some digital stuff!! Now I'm off to rest, it's night here :) And a thunderstorm is fast approaching! Wohooo!!! 

Many blessings dears, and please let me know what you think of this card. have an awesome day/night!

Laze Around Tilda - amidst many roses

Good morning sunshines!!

It's a beautiful autumn rainy day here, and it's my pleasure to announce a brand new challenge at Magnolia-licious. 






Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog #14 Option Halloween


Shawn is hoping to reach 50 cards submitted this month, so let's help him reach the goal!

This is my take on the challenge. For once I bowed out of the option part, as I don't use Halloween cards. Instead I got inspired by the rose I have in my small "garden", and decided that Tilda is taking some time off, instead of me, to chill amongst lots of roses. 







I hope you like the card and that it encourages you to take part and join the fun - not only to be in chance of becoming our Guest Designer for next challenge, but also to win a lovely $20 to spend at the Store. 








Stamp used: Laze around Tilda - from Yay! It's your birthday collection, found HERE on a special price! 
Paper: Magnolia 
Embellishments, Lace, Tim Holtz Ephemera pack, white buttons, paper flowers, die cuts, postal stamps, Walnut Stain Distress ink
Colouring medium: Copics 

Have a most wonderful day!!!
