Water and Fire.....

Hello everyone!  I hope all are staying warm.  Today I am showcasing a new artist at SWEET PEA STAMPS.  Her name is Terrell Dorfeo. I love the comic nature of her stamps.  This beauty comes with another stamp and two sentiments.

When I saw this sweet mermaid her hair just kept screaming fire to me so I colored it to look like a great flame flowing from her head.  I know it seems weird to have fire in water but that is the beauty of Fantasy stamps, you can create whatever you want with them.  I wanted to keep this a cheerful card so I used mostly primary colors and just kept adding shapes and more color.  I hope you like!!!

Don't forget to check out the current challenge at "In A Sweet Pea Dream".   It is a great way to win some of these new stamps!!

Winter Storm.....

Last but not least of my Magnolia cards is this one I call Winter Storm.  I hope you have enjoyed my Tilda themed Christmas cards.  Each one has a special someone that it will be sent to, and I am on time.  I like to get my cards out in the beginning of December!!!  That way they can be enjoyed more than a day or two.

On this one Tilda colored with copics gets her self caught in a Winter swirl.  I added stickles to her wings and the trim of her clothes.  Her boots and the bottle in her basket got a coating of glossy accents. She was placed in the middle of double matted circles and two DP's.  Flowers adorn the upper corner and a bow of yarn in the lower.  I wasn't certain about using brown as an accent on this one but once finished she is one of my favorites.  I hope you agree.

Anyone For A Ride....

Only one more after this one.  I hope I didn't bore you to death with all these Magnolia cards.

Tilda was once again colored with copics and then glistened with some stickles, her fur had all been given a coating of fun flock and her boots are glossed with glossy accents.  Double matted and then placed under a double punched border that I laced my ribbon through. At first I was certain about the aqua and peach but I really like the brightness of the two together! What about you?

Guiding Light......

Only 3 more Magnolia Cards to showcase.  I hope you are not tired of them yet!!!

I colored my girl again with copics and cut her out and placed her on a double matted label Nestie.The green was also embossed.  A criss cross of ribbon and a couple of snowflakes and some evergreens finished her off.  She is the guiding light through life's forest!!!

Not So Traditional Colors.....

I really liked this DP I had found at Hobby Lobby and wanted to use it again so here is a not so traditional colored Christmas Card!

My Tilda was colored with copics and then cut out.  She got a bit of stickles added to her for sparkle and her boots got shine from some glossy accents.  I placed her on a double cut scalloped Nestie and backed her with a couple different DP's.  I added a seam binding and ribbon flower that I made in the corner and once again used that freebie ticket as a sentiment.  Although not your traditional colored card, I like the final outcome!  What do you think?

Sing His Praise........

My next card is another Magnolia Christmas card. I did warn you that I have quite a few to show.

This is one of those cards that grew on me as I put it together.  At first I wasn't a big fan of this stamp but colored her anyway. I cut her out and then started with my distress inks, first layer was Antique Linen but that just wasn't enough so I added Tea Dye on top of that.  I was so very pleased with the look.  I decided to go with the vintage look and pulled out some old looking DP and a page of music from an old hymnal.  The sheet music got the same inking treatment.  Layered on my card, some holly and a couple of gold bows finished it off.  I hope you think it turned out well too!

Santa Tilda...

My Brother in law has small children so his family will get this Santa Tilda!!!  

As usual she was colored with copics, fun flock was put on her fur.  Glossy accents on her boots and the sleigh.  Stickles gives her the sparkle! I distressed the edges of my card stock on this one and used my DP as a sentiment.  Candy canes finished the corners.  I hope the kids like it!
