JOY TO THE WORLD with Japanese Tilda

It's Thursday and time for the

Colour Create Challenge!!

You are going to love these colors that our very talented Liz has choosen this time around.

Red, Gold, White or Off White
Optional extras: Christmas or Oriental

It's Challenge #53 and here is the inspiration picture.

Our sponsor this week is Michelle's Scrapbooking.

I have used #227 Japanese Tilda from Magnolia-licious Store.

As you can see I did get both of the extra options on my card! I have used Kaiser Craft paper, Canston and Bazzill cardstock. If you look close you will see that I used my Cuttlebug Swiss dot folder on the gold paper. I have added some beautiful trims, gold domes, gold stars, gold photo corners a few prima FLowers and some tulle. I have used some Glam by Tattered Angels on my tulle bow so give it some sparkle. The joy to Wolrd is chipboard by K&Company. I have also sewn my card. The coloring has been done with my copic markers and watercolor pencils.

I really do need to get more practice with the black hair. Not so great with that!! LOL...

I hope you will find the time to join us this challenge. It a great way to get into the Christmas card making!! Christmas will be upon us before we know it.

I was wondering if any of you are having problems with blogger? I write my posts up in another program and then copy and paste it to blogger but for some reason it won't let me this past week!!!!!!!!!!! uuhhhgggggggggggggggg!!

It just drives me nuts!!! I also find that I can't get on some of your blogs. :o( It just shuts down!!! boooo hooooooo

Thanks for stopping by today..

big Thursday hugs,

Magnolia DT Challenge card.....

Good Afternoon!!!!! Yes, this my second post for the day.
It's time for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge

The challenge this week is PAPER TOLE..3D

Okay, as for me I have not done a true Paper Tole for my card today but more of the 3D thing.Paper tole is the same image stacked and the edges curled as you stack. I only have one of each image and popped with foam. :o) Let me tell you why..

I had all of the pieces for this card done and cut out sitting on my table here and my 55 pound dog came in and jumped up and bumped my arm while I had a cup of HOT coffee. Oh yes you guessed it!!! I spilled al over my hand and my artwork!!!!!! uhgggggggggg! So I had to start again with most of the pieces. :o(

I have a very red nasty burn all over the top of my hand! uhggggggggg..

Do I need to say I about cried!! The dog was put outside and left there ALL DAY! :o(

I still LOVE him but such a stinker!!!

here is my card........... For my card I have masked the fence and butterfly background together and then I have popped and cut out my Tilda, birdhouse, butterfies and mushroom. I have colored all images with my copic markers and watercolor pencils. As you can see I have not use anything other than a few pearls and a big bow for my embellies. The scene is the whole card. I have used my new Martha Stewart punch for 2 of the edges and then the whole scene has been popped. The birdhouse, Tilda and mushroom have been popped again onto the background. I had to make a stick /pole for my birdhouse. As I couldn't just have it sitting up there in mid air. LOL...In the last picture I hope you can see the popped images. I have used my stickles on parts of the images to give it that little extra sparkle.

Card Ingredients.....
Papers: bazill cardstocks, Bo Bunny, PJK Designs
Stamps: Tilda with flowing hair,Magnolia Butterfly background CC Designs, MEL JEN DESIGNS
Ink: Copic markers, watercolor pencils, Distressed ink for edges
