Just Magnolia


There are so many techniques and projects that I have on my list to try and this was one of them--the tent card.  Many of you have already tried this but if you haven't and you'd like to make this too, you can find Dena's tutorial here.  It's a fun card to make.

Although this card was entered in several challenges, it was especially nice to take part in Just Magnolia's birthday challenge.    Happy 1st Birthday Just Magnolia!!!


To make this card, I flipped the sketch, added foam core to the seat of Tilda's swing (so she could sit comfortably without falling off), cut out some flowers from the DP to scatter on the trellis and added the grass to hide the folds of the card.

The challenges:
KLSNS Challenge #26 - Bling it on!
Creative Belli #89 - Die cut shapes
The Crafty Pad Challenge #67 - Stitching

The recipe:
Paper:  Magnolia Ink - Under the mistletoe
Stamp:  Magnolia Jam Tilda Yummy Tummy and Magnolia Swing
Ink:  Memento, Copic Markers
Tools:  Martha Stewart Garden Trellis, Grass and Butterfly punches; Oval Nestabilities
Other:  Diamond Stickles, half pearls, flowers, rub-on stitches and pop dots

Thanks so much for looking and have a great week!
