Magical Magnolias

It is now Spring in Melbourne and it is the most wonderful time of the year with the weather warming up and blossoms on our fruit trees blooming and new leaves appearing. We recently planted two Magnolia trees in our front yard, but they have not bloomed yet, we may have to wait until next year. This card was inspired by all the spring flowers. The card was stamped with Archival Brown ink and coloured with distress markers and misted with Perfect Pearls. I'm sharing this card on Moxie Fab World Handmade Cards - Colour Media Challenge. I also have a photo of some lovely Magnolias I photographed at a recent trip to a Nursery (Yes, I bring my camera to the Nursery!) As both these stamps are available from Simon Says Stamp, I'm linking up to SSS Stamptember Challenge.

CARDS August Issue

It's been a month since the CARDS magazine August issue was published and I can show my card now. Yay! This card was submitted for the sketch category and I inked up my Hero Arts Etched Flower for the first time when I made this card. The flower and leaves were coloured with distress markers using Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters and Picket Fence.

Inspired by Jennifer McGuire

I'm getting itchy fingers as I have not crafted for a while and I have so many new stamps, inks and dies to try out. I have been dying to try out my new Tim Holtz Distress Markers. The current challenge at A Blog Named Hero is to make a card inspired by a Hero Arts Artist. One of my inspirations is Jennifer McGuire and she tested these markers before most of us could even get our hands on it!  This is my card using all the colours in the pack (excluding black and white) inspired by Jennifer's card. The card was white embossed with the HA/Studio Calico lattice stamp and coloured with Distress markers. The card was sprayed with Perfert pearls mist. I love the marbled effects when the inks reacted with the water. The beauty about the lattice stamp is that each colour is contained within each pattern, so there is no bleeding. I added white embossed vellum flowers to the card so that I can submit this card for the Hero Arts Paper Flowers Challenge. I'm also submitting this card to the Moxie Fab World Card Challenge!
