"Vintage" Spring Card

Hello and happy Wednesday to all of you. Thank you for swinging by. Before i start about the challenge card for today i wanted to tell you something that happened yesterday morning. I have sent my application to Shimmerz paints, the DT call ended this Sunday and OMG Kim sent me a email yesterday and accepted me! Iam so thrilled because i was drooling over those paints for a while now - i know they will just look gorgeous on flowers and on the Magnolia's to give them some extra shimmer instead of the Stickles i always use. I can not wait to get started :-)

My dear friend Bea picked for our Wednesday challenge to use "older" Magnolia stamps Tilda holding Magnolia's. I have not used her in a very long time - so i was quite happy to use her again. The card is sized 6 1/4 by 5.5 i felt it was a better size to use with just a vertical image and i was also able to use up some of my scrap papers i have produced over the time by cutting my 8.5x11 papers to use with 6x6 cards. As you can see iam experimenting how to color dark hair in :-) no way iam even close on what Marlene does on her cards. She is just a natural!!! look at this fantastic card gosh.. she just rocks!!!

Stamps: Magnolia with Magnolia's from the Spring Collection
Papers: Bo Bunny, Riding Hood Red
Tag: Martha Stewart (to label Jam :-) and Prima Flowers

Gift Tags

Hello and happy Thursday. Thank you for swinging by today - if you came to leave me a comment because you have seen my "Tough Guy" card over for CCT Challenge - THANK YOU SO much! :-) I can not show this card here on this blog but you could see that card in bigger on "Pretty Cards" thats my second blog. I have posted there today 2 cards.

I did not want to show anything here - it is not much only 3 little tags i have made to decorate gifts. :-) I like to use images iam not happy with my coloring for that. Most of the time my Copic marker makes a big "blub" of ink just when iam about to finish... it is so upsetting. Rather than tossing the image in the trash. i keep it and try using it on other things. Stamps: Magnolia can be found in the Love Collection 2009 and Shabby Chic Collection 2008,

Thank you!
Hugs and Love Claudia

Hello and happy Sunday :-) gosh it feels really akward to show you card with Winter images :-) This is one of the cards i have submitted to a magazine but i has not been taken. The "problem" here was that i have used Stampin up paper, and in the country i have submitted this card to - Stampin up is not available. I really did like this card and hopefully i will get it returned. I have submitted to a magazine in the US in August 2008 (Just Cards) 2 Flaterates full of cards with return envelope and to gotten back so far. It is sad, because of all the money you put into the cards and i think well.. they would have been nice to sent to friends. I still hope that they have a chance to make it into a issue.
