Just Magnolia #84.... Believe and No Peeking!

Hey crafty friends! I made a few more christmas cards for the Just Magnolia challenge, Anything Goes with Sparkle!

I love this stamp, Tilda with Fir, she is so sweet and I love her Uggs, (I soooo want a pair,lol)! Again, I made yet another easel card with BG Jovial and a Magnolia Tree stamp embossed with Northern Lights embossing powder! I have to say keeping a similar style to all my Christmas cards has made the process easier. I used some AC ribbon, cotton lace trim and a Melissa Frances Rub-on and a Catslife Press label stamp.

For this card I coloured my favorite stamp, Secret Tilda, from the Magnolia Merry Little Christmas collection this year. I am totally in love with my new toner Copic markers too. I got T1, T3 and T5 at Scrapfest and will have to get a few more. They are absolutely fabulous for toning down some of the more vibrant colours. Adding the toner marker on Tilda's outfit gave me a grey teal colour that matched the paper better. Also my new fave Copic colour combo for Hair is E41, E42, E43, E44, E49....I have been using it a lot lately.  I used BG Jovial papers, an Elements sticker tag, a sheet from Capella pad and an Olivia fabric brad.  I embellished with Prima Flowers and lace trim. The sentiment stamped on the BG Elements sticker is from the Kelly Panacci Christmas stamp set.

I once again used the Magnolia tree embossed with Northern lights embossing powder for the sparkle and I also used my MFT large Scalloped border Die-namics die.

Your streamlining of the cards is so cleverly done for they look so different. The colours of both are great & I like your work with those T Copics. That's my next project - for 2011 - work on colouring.
