Catch that bouquet.....

Evening everyone,
This week the challenge at Magnolia down under is Sepia. 
 Let me just say this was a tricky one for me..
I haven't really done a sepia card before...
I had a few attempts first before I was happy with my image lol.

I coloured My catch Tilda and royal rippling fountain using distress ink 
-walnut stain 
-vintage photo.

Here is my card, hope you like it...



I added some shaved ice to my fountain for a beautifull sparkling water effect...



Air dry clay butterflies...


A close up of my coloured image....

Its your special day...

Today I have an easel card to share with you using one of the latest stamps
 DooBee pops Bride Tilda from the Special Moments Collection!!

I just adore this stamp she is so beautiful... 
I coloured her using my copics and added her pretty dress with DooBee pops paper.



The frame, swirl and corner elements I made using the Martha Stewart air dry clay. 
I added in some shabby white frantage and shaved ice for some texture and sparkle.



I really enjoyed making this card and having fun with the new stamp and DooBee pops...
This paper is so cool!!

Hey everyone, 
I was so excited when I received my copy of the latest Magnolia ink Magazine - Sea breeze as its my first time being published as a Magnolia design team member!!

I was in this issue four times, yay yay...one of my cards is in there twice as I made the front index page...
Here is one of my featured projects...

An under the sea card



I coloured these images using derwent pencils.... 
and added an under the sea theme with the seahorse, shells and sea weed.

Hope you all like it...
