Card for mom with Tilda by Magnolia

Oh my gosh....I just finished watching the movie "Marley and Me". I'm tellin ya....I sobbed like a baby, but what a great movie! I loved it! If you watch it, be sure and have some tissues close by! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! The weather is beautiful and I'm loving every minute of it! I actually got to wear capris today! YAY!! Here's a card I put together for Mother's Day, but it could actually be used for any day for your mom, mother-in-law, or mother figure in your life. To make it I used FIVE, yes FIVE Magnolia stamps! I think that's a record for me! LOL!

This was my very first shot at masking, so please tell me, how did I do??? I masked the shabby chic fence and stamped the spring tree. WOOHOO! I was so proud! LOL! Tilda, along with the new bench, and the sun, were all stamped and cut out. The bench is popped up off the card and so is Tilda of course. The Magnolia stamps are available at Magnolia-licious. I came soooo close to try airbrushing the background in blue for the first time ever, but was too afraid. Now I definitely wish I had. The background is WAY too flat for me. Oh well...can't win them all, huh?

The oval sentiment stamp is from an awesome HUGE set of downloadable stamps "ALL ABOUT MOM" that is available at The Cutting Cafe'. This set is amazing and I can't wait to use it more. I stamped the Magnolias with my Memento ink and colored them with Copic markers. The DP is Enchanted Forest by Imaginisce, and cardstock is Bazzill. That pretty pink pearl in the center of the bow is by Kaiser.

There's a big special going on right now over at The Cutting Cafe'! Of you purchase the ALL ABOUT MOM stamp set, you get to choose two other sets of Regina's stamps FOR FREE!!! That's right....FOR FREE!! The special runs through midnight Tuesday, so be sure and pop over there and take advanctage of it.

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by to see me, and hope to see you back again soon. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! HUGS!

Happy Birthday to you! Tilda in hat Magnolia stamp

Ok, is it just me? Why is it that I always seem to see things in my work after I'm finished and taken the photo and getting ready to post it here? Like on this one...I thought the green and peachy flowers looked good. Then when I look at the card in the photo, I'm thinking...hmmmm...maybe the back flower should have been blue. Of course everything is glued down way beyond the point of being taken off. And of coure I had tried every color of flower to make sure I liked the look before I glued it down. YET...... And maybe I should have colored the box rather than try to make it look like kraft paper...hmmmmm... Am I the only one that does that?? LOL!

I just got some new stamps from Magnolia-licious yesterday!! YAY!! Thanks Diana! I had completely fallen in love with this Tilda the very moment I laid eyes on her. And I just really love that box with the huge bow too! I did turn the box on it's side cause I didn't want to cover up that beautiful bow with Tilda's butt! *smile*

I colored Tilda with my Copic markers which are now available at Hallmark Scrapbook! The DP is Making Memories and that cute circle tag is from a set of printable stamps that are available over at The Cutting Cafe'. I cut the circles and scalloped circles out with my Nestabilities. Added some Prima flowers on the ribbon with a Making Memories brad in the center.

Did some machine stitching around the edges and also used one of my Martha Stewart border punches. The circles are popped up off the card, and the present and Tilda are popped up from the circle. I do love dimension on a card!! Here are the copic colors I used. I did notice that I left out E02 and R20, so add those to the mix too. Sorry about that!

That's it for today! This will be for sale in my etsy shop which I hope to have up and running by the end of this weekend. Thanks for stopping by to see me tody, and hope to see you back again soon! hugs!!!
