Hello Everyone...I'm still here!! Life has been very busy. We had a houseful over the weekend...celebrating Hubby's retirement...lots of Fun!!. Yesterday we were in the city (4 hrs away) visiting my Mother. Her 91st birthday is on Friday. It was so nice to see her...and she is looking well. We also really enjoyed being able to make this trip during the week instead of on the busy weekend.
The weather has been just Wonderful. We still don't have any snow...Amazing!!..and this afternoon we were outside without coats!! It looks like it may even continue for a bit!!
Onto the card....I actually made this card in September. The beautiful flowers are from Magnolia. This Lovely Tilda stamp is - HV08 Tilda with Wood Basket (Winter Collection 2008), HV08 Ticket - A Merry Christmas (Christmas Collection 2008)
The image is colored with copics under the prismacolor pencils and a touch h20's to deepen the shade and add a little sparkle. *(Please remember.....do not use copics over prismacolor pencils or the wax from the pencils will ruin your copic tips!)*

I used 6 "Magnolia" stamps on this card!! This card was a challenge for me as well because of the size it is. Included in my Magnolia Dt kit was a black card base 8.5" wide x 5.5"height... (21.5 cm wide x 14 cm height). A size a bit out of my comfort zone...so it took a little longer than usual..lol.

The moon, sentiment and pumpkin are glued to the image panel and attached to the back panel with foam popups. The netting is just a tape used for dry walling. The orange fabric on top is cut from a Dollarama fabric Halloween bag. The spider and webs are from dollarama as well. I've added glitter, stickles and shimmerz here and there. The patterned papers are all from Magnolia's So Spooky Collection and can be found at retailers like "the Little Stamp Shoppe"

I also used the ML08 Swing from the Magnolia and Lilac Summer Collection 2008. The sentiment I've used is part of a stamp set I won over a year ago....and is created by Aud...(I love these stamps!!)
Be sure to check out "theLittle Stamp Shoppe" and "the little stamp shoppe blog". Heidi is expecting a new shipment of stamps any day...including more of the Fabulous Halloween stamps from last year. My time as Guest DT has come to an end... It's been fun!. You will still be hearing a Little Stamp Shoppe news from me here and there.

I am actually in time for a couple of challenges with this card....The Fabulous "sketch" at Friday Sketchers and the fun theme being "at the sea" at Stamp with Fun.
The stamps I have used for this card are all from Magnolia's Lazy Summers Day Collection 2009
All these stamps are available right now at "the little Stamp Shop". Here are names of the stamps I've used- "Bathing Ring" - "Beach Tilda" and "You're So Sweet".

Heidi has also received Magnolia's Beautiful Lazy Summers Day Designer Paper!! ...and is offering it in a lovely affordable Sampler pkg!! Be sure to check these Fabulous items and more at...."the little Stamp Shoppe"**

Tilda has been masked off so she could sit on the bathing ring. To create the sentiment...I also masked off the adjoining works on the You're So Sweet stamp so I could stamp them out separately...then just tore around them and inked the edges with SU Creamy Caramel ink. I used nesties for the circle and scalloped layer and attached the image circle with foam pop ups onto the scalloped layer. There is shimmerz (Angel wings) brushed on the flowers along the bottom of the image.
Ink - memento black, bashful blue, creamy caramel. Paper - GP white, basic grey "Euphoria", Michael's, bazill cs. Accessories - flowers, lace, glitter brads, shimmerz, ribbon, nesties, stitching, acrylic paint for detail dots.
