Hatching Chicken “Hoppy Easter” DT card

Hello ladies.. i hope you have had a wonderful weekend. Wow.. i loved the nice and warm Spring temperatures we have had.

Today i can show you an other DT card i made with the supplies Magnolia, Sweden sent in my package. Unfortunately most of the subtle things like Glimmer mist and stickles on shoes, dress and egg do not show on my pictures.

The floral Design paper was a piece i have received with the Raising the Ceiling Collection DT kit.. i can not tell you what the maker is or the line – so you could look it up. I'm sorry! To add a bit more texture besides the flowers and hardware i embossed a piece of Stampin up (River Rock – retired) piece of cardstock with a Stampin up embossing folder (it is retired as well). The circular Sentiment is by Magnolia and is from last years Easter collection.

Stamps: All Magnolia “Tilda w. hatching chicken” (Hoppy Easter Collection 2010), Sentiment: Happy Easter (Easter Collection 2009)

Coloring: Stampin up: Blush Blossom, Pretty in pink, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Barely Banana, Mellow Moss, Summer Sun
Distress Inks: Scattered Straw, Aged Mahogany, Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo

Hoppy Easter “Hello! Tilda”

Good morning everyone. Thank you for your visit today.

I love to show you a card made with one of the cute new Magnolia stamps from the Hoppy Easter Collection 2010.

Well the photos have not turned out very well ... but of course i wanted to show my card today.
The image is stamped onto watercolor paper and i colored her in with Stampin up refillers and Tim Holtz distress inks. The papers are by Stampin up – the pattern paper is unfortunately retired. I really love that one. I could not resist and went with the current trend to frame my image with lots and lots of flowers.

Sentiment: Papertrey Ink

Papers: all Stampin up
Embellishments: Tulips and Daisy’s by Papirlolet (Norway), Prima Marketing (gems), Martha Stewart (pearl stickers), Stickles (Stardust), Stampin up (Taffetta pretty in Pink ribbon, So Saffron wide Grosgrain)

I wanted to make her a very special card but noticed… i do not have ANY stamps that are appropriate for that occasion.

But than i saw this stamp set in the Stampin up catalogue (C is for Cat – it is currently free with a $50 order) and i knew i wanted to make a sympathy card with my Tilda holding kitten (Pet Collection 2009).

Stamps: Magnolia Tilda with kitten (Pet Collection), Lace border (Kitchen Collection), Sentiment: stampin up (C is for cat)
