Tulip Tilda and a MAGNOLIA-licious Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope everyone’s week has started out great!

This stamp, Tulip Tilda, has been waiting a couple of weeks to be inked. And I finally made the time. I also purchased some of the new Magnolia roses. These paper flowers are marvelous and well worth the expense.


I originally created her for the MAGNOLIA-licious Highlites March sketch challenge. This is the wonderful sketch:

And then I started some blog surfing and came up with seven more challenges. They are:
Nichole Heady Spring Schemes Challenges: I chose Betsy Veldman's color scheme;
Cooking it up with Katie Challenge #12: Use the Decoupage/3D/Paper Tole technique and use metal;
Cute Card Thursday Challenge 103: Celebrations;
Magnolia Down Under Challenge #37: Birthdays;
Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge #6: Die Cuts;
Cute Daisy May Challenge: Anything Goes;
Flutterby Wednesdays Challenge #100: open challenge; butterflies, fairies, or angels, a must (Tilda is an angel).


The other details for this card is:
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up!, Papertrey Ink, My Minds Eye;
Flowers: Magnolia roses and Hobby Lobby Wedding supplies;
Ribbon: Silk leaf from Papertrey Ink;
Punch: Martha Stewart;
Distress Inks in Peeled Paint and Tea Dye;
Sentiment: Stampin’ Up!
I have also used various Spica and Gel pens.


The Copics I used are:
Smock & shoes: YG21, 25, and 67;
Dress & socks: RV09, 10, and 17;
Tulip: YR01 and 07, RV 09 and 10, YG 25;
Skin: E00, 11, and 13, RV21;
Hair: W1, E34 and 47.

I hope you enjoyed reading and thanks so much for stopping by!

“Happy Easter!” Easel Card #2

Okay, I am stuck on the easel card design. So I had to do another one.

I have entered several challenges with this little egg-cellent card. (Had to do it!)
This first two are for the Any Stamp Will Do ning group. If you have not joined yet, do so now at this link. Yes that’s an order from an elder. You will have fun!

Here’s the challenges:
Any Stamp Will Do Sketch Challenge;

Any Stamp Will Do The New Color Challenge in lime green and turquoise/aqua;
Copic Creations Challenge No. 23-A Wee Bit ‘O Green;
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday-Scallops;
Magnolia Down Under Challenge #35-Easter Theme; and,
Papertake Weekly Challenge-Buttons, Bows, Brads, and Bling.

The first three pictures are the “easel” angles.



These next ones are close ups of all my layers.


This last one is the Copics I have used.

This is short and sweet. I almost feel guilty. I know I left out a lot of information so...if you have any questions please contact me via my email, ajsdesigns@cox.net.

Have a great and creative weekend!
