Aurora Wings anything but a card!

A very happy Monday to you all!  We are starting the week off with a new challenge at Aurora Wings. For this challenge we want to see anything but a card.  There are so many possibilities for this challenge especially at this time of year.

I have use the adorable Mistletoe sprite, for my project.  I went with a slider box I think they are just to cute.  You can find instructions on how to make this project here, at Spiltcoast stampers.

Here is the box when it is opened.

and a little side view for you.

I used some metal brads from Graphic 45 for the knob on the little drawer.  The DP is Imaginisce the Polar expressions collections.  My image is colored with copics on Neenah Solar White.

I hope you will find time to join in our challenge.

Pile it on - #95 any holiday celebration

Have a great week!

Shades of Green for Spring

Hi there thanks for stopping by hope you are all having the best week possible!  Today I have a card to show you with a beautiful image from "Aurora Wings" if you have not checked out these amazing images you really need to.  These images have so many possibilities for your imagination to just run wild!  The image I used is "Red Poppies Elf with Poppy blooms"  I did her all up in green for the Shades of Green challenge on the Aurora Wings Facebook group.

 

 

I colored her while I was on vacation so I don't remember the colors I used on her except for the skin, so I apologize for not writing them down.

The DP's is Imaginisce for the floral Go for Baroque- So Rococo.  The striped one is "My Minds Eye" Wild Asparagus.  The border is a MS punch.  The scalloped ovals are cut with the Silhoutte as is the flourish on the inside of the card.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Here is a side view.

Unwrapped Tilda, Christmas All Year Long, MMSC59, MDU51, and Bunny Zoe's

It is that time of the month again when we are having our Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop so if you get lost or have just happened to stop by here you may want to go back and start at the beginning so you don't miss any of the great creations. If you came here from Julie's you are on the right track. I was not sure if I would be doing this hop this month, as I lost my dog of 8 years who was just like my child and I loved her with all my heart. Each day gets a little easier and we spent many hours together in the craft room :)

I have used Unwrapped Tilda #3002 and she is currently out of stock however if you email Diana @ Magnolia-licious I am sure she will get some in shortly. I have followed the sketch over at Midnight Madness MMSC59 the fancy version. Over at Magnolia down Under they want embossing. At Bunny Zoe's they want "Nice and Girly" I used the snowflakes folder for my embossing. My image is stamped on Cryogen White, colored with copics...sorry I did not keep track as this image has been colored for a couple of weeks. The DP is Imaginisce, Polar Expressions, card stock is from my stash, there is 6 layers to this card. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The branch is a MS punch and the pearls are from Say it with Pearls. I have added some Diamond Stickles to Tilda and the flowers for a little extra bling ! Here is a close up to see the detail a little better.
That is it for me and now you can hop on over to the very talented Cheryl and see what she has came up with I know it will be awesome.
Have a great weekend !

Winter Wishes and Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop

Hi and thanks for joining our 1st Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop. Julie from our Yahoo group came up with this great idea to do a Christmas card on the 25th of each month, hey that sounded great to me, when Christmas comes I will have a great head start on cards ! If you arrived from the very talented Tracey's blog then you are on the right track, if not you may want to start at the the very talented Julies and visit all the talented ladies participating in this hop.
This little cutie is Silent Night Tilda and you can get her from Diana at Magnolia-licious I see that she is out of stock at the moment but I am sure if you contact Diana she will gladly get her for you.
This card will also fit in the challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites where the theme of a "Frame Card" for this challenge is from the very talented Sharon thank you so much for stretching me here a little :)
This card was originally created by the very talented Claudia if you would like the instructions you can find them here. My image is colored with copics. I used Baby Blue color box chalks to shade in the background and I have added Polar White flower soft to her jacket. I also used Diamond stickles on her headband, socks and the little swirls, snowflakes and the shadowing at her feet. The little branches are the MS Christmas branch punch, the sentiment is from the Snag'em Stamps Snowy Jo collection. I used my distress tool on the sentiment and walnut distress ink.
DP is Imaginisce "Polar Expressions".
Well I hope you have enjoyed your hop with us from here you go to Julies
Have a great week !
Hugs,

It's your Birthday!

Happy Friday to you all hope you had a great week. Are ya doing anything special this weekend...we are having my DGS 12th birthday party tomorrow not sure how many little guys will be attending but I am sure all his buddies will be ready to go. Then it is church on Sun and more crafting for me !!!! Ok I know what you are thinking she is not going to give this card to her DGS LOL !! No I am not DGS is getting a store bought card this year ! This card is actually for no special reason, I just got my new "wrapped presents #404" stamp from Diana @ Magnolia-licious and I wanted to use them. They are in stock now if you want to grab them. They are in the So Snowy, So Jolly collection. Tilda is Dinner Tilda and I don't see her there right now but I am sure if you contact Diana she can get her for you.

My images are colored with copics and I have to say I did try a new technique with the skin and hair. I used Sharon's tutorials over at Gramma's House of Cards be sure a drop by and just see all the talent she has. I added some little rhinestones for Tilda's jewelry bling. The presents have some stickles on them and I used my new Baby's Breath Shimmerz on the Happy Birthday scallop. I have to tell ya that I am not liking that pink ribbon on there at all but I got a new ATG tape gun and once it is on it stays LOL ! The DP is Imaginisce and just basic purple cardstock. Well that is it for me today. Thanks for coming by.
Hugs,
