Just Magnolia Challenge Card - A Card for Someone Special



Todays card has been created for the Just Magnolia Challenge, a card for someone special, Ive used one of the new Christmas stamps this one has Tilda holding a Christmas present, Ive stamped her onto a piece of white card and coloured her with my copic pens, and my clear glitter pen on the hat and cuffs. Because shes quite a big stamp Ive used my Martha Steward circular cutting tool to cut her out, and used a larger hole for the mount, Ive used a red card for this.
For the base card Ive used a 8"x 8" white card and for my first layer Ive used a piece of the same red card and one of two papers from the Dovecraft "Tis the Season" set, this one has a red background with a design of snowmen and fir trees on, the second mount Ive used another piece of red card and this time Ive used white design paper with a selection of fir trees and flourishes, this was positioned in the centre at the top of the first layer.
I then stamped a greeting onto white card and punched it out with one of the ribbon tag Nestabilitie dies, with a red mount, then threaded a ribbon through the two end holes and positioned across the bottom of my card. I mounted my stamped image in the centre of my card.
I then created three flowers from some left over paper from my mounts, these were punched out with my flower punches then I moulded them with a ball tool, then popped a pearl brad with a silver spacer through the centres and hung a stocking charm from the bottom one. I then arranged some fern leaves in a circle and my stuck my flowers on top.

  23. oh another brilliant brilliant card Shirley I love those Christmas papers, sadly yet another crafty shop near me has closed down, even though they'd ordered loads of stuff for me, so it looks as tho' I'll be hunting out on-line stores from now on!(Lyn)

  24. Shirley darin...its been so long since I have been over. Please forgive me. I just wanted to come and catch up with you before xmas. I also wanted to say that I recieved a beutiful card from you darlin, thank you so much..unfortunately it was really battered about and hubby phoned the post office and really complained also, looking at the post mark it was obviously lost as from what I can make out it says the 3rd or it could be the 8th? Thank you for thinking of us sweetheart.I shall be sending all mine early next week.
    Your crissy cards are awsome hunny as always.
    Hugs
