Magnolia-licious Challenge - Pretty In Pink (wink, wink)

Buon Giorno amici!  Good morning, friends!  
We have a new challenge going on at Magnolia-licious™ Challenge Blog once again.  This time our theme is "Pretty In Pink" and for the next several weeks you can join in the fun and show off your paper crafting skills. I sure hope you will!!

Have you heard the latest from Diana's fabulous online store, Magnolia Stamps.  She is selling all Memory Box Dies at 40% off!  Yes you read that right!  ALL MB Dies at 40% off.  Many of them are listed for below $10!!  What a steal.

AND:
If you leave a comment on any/all the designers blogs, you will be entered into a drawing for a free gift from Diana.

So hop on over to the Challenge Blog, leave the girls some love by clicking on their names to go directly to their blog,  and best of luck in the drawing.

I have created another A2 sized card for this challenge.  This time I've used "He Loves Me Not Tilda" from the Lovely Duo Collection.  This item is no longer available in the store, but there are still several others available.  Each image comes with a matching sentiment.  What a great idea!


Here is "He Loves Me Not" Tilda set on a backdrop of pink, yellow and purple.  Such fun colors for the spring.  I also made a little matching envelope to send her in.
Tilda is colored with Copic Markers, except for her cheeks, which are done with chalk.  The DP's are from my stash box, the CS is from SU and the ribbon is a remnant from something!
Here is how I finished the inside of the card.  This sentiment is from SU "God's Blessings"
Thanks for stopping by.  It's always a pleasure to find out who's been reading my blog.

Many Blessings,
Ciao, ciao,
Barb

You Rock my World

Hello everyone!  I'm back with a new, really NEW card today.  Yesterday I received my newest images from Magnolia-licious and couldn't wait to sit down and put some ink to paper.  These new collections are ADOR-able! =)

If you haven't been over to Diana's marvelous online store, you need to get on over.  She has some wonderful discounts to offer you and some delightful new collections!

As you can see, I've started to use my images on A2 sized cards.  That's a standard 4 1/4 X 5 1/2" card.  Now I admit, there's not a lot of room for all the goodies you can put on a 6 X 6 card, but I'm so enjoying the design challenge.  I've also been adding matching paper to the  flap of envelopes to coordinate, which of course, means you must keep your card pretty flat.

I chose on this card to stretch myself a little and add a little spray of flowers, a bow and a stick pin.  Well then I had to make a box envelope to accommodate the added dimension.  I used a small velcro closure on the back of the envelope to hold it closed.  Of course this would never fit through the mail, it will need to be hand delivered.  No problemo!!

Here is my card:

This is #02 Earth Tilda from the newest collection called World Wide Web.  It is on pre-order in the store.

The inside of the card.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The left side of the inside is for writing a personal note.


Here is the artsy view of the card.
 Well, that's it!  I'm so glad you decided to stop by today.  As always your comments are much appreciated.

Many blessings,
Hugs,
Barb
