Magnolia Monday ~ on Tuesday? RRR10

Ok, I've been bitten by the Magnolia bug.  Yup.  I just love those images.  At first I really did not care too much for them - but now, I love them.  And no, I don't own any yet, but I hope to soon.  I was blessed with a dear friend who sent me a bunch of the stamped images.  So you wanna see what I came up with?  I'm sorry that I don't have all the info for these cards, but here goes.

This card is 5" x 5" and I can tell you that the base card is Tangerine Tango and that I layered it with some old DP that did not list where it was from.  I used my Martha Stewart punch and some ribbon.  The bat's are from The Angel Company and the set is called Spooktacular.  I colored the image with my pencils and gamsol and used my markers here and there for some highlights.  The circles are cut out with my coluzzle and I added a bit of doodles to the purple layer.

The base card is Green Galore that I layered with some DP from My Minds Eye and other various papers.  I colored her in with my pencils and gamsol and my markers.  The cauldron and sentiment is from SU! an old set called Haunting Halloween that I also colored with my pencils and gamsol.  I added some ribbon and a cool button and that was it.  This card is also 5" x 5".

I hope that you like them and that they inspire you.  Sorry for the short post today - but I'll have more for you tomorrow, promise!  Have a super great day!

**Edited to add:  Thanks to True for letting me know about Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings challenge.  I entered this card into their challenge RRR10 - go take a peek.

Have a spooky good day!

Halloween!!  Yippie, only 17 more days!!  Woo-Hoo!!  You know I love that day!
And it seems that the weather is playing tricks on us.  I can remember back in California on year it was warm, one year it was cold, once it rained.  I never knew how to dress Danielle up.  Well the same can be said here ~ although the weather changes so fast here.  They are actually calling for snow this Friday night/Saturday morning.  I'm sure that it wont stick if it does, but really?  Snow in October?  What the heck is going on?!?  Personally (on no, look out ~ I'm on the soap box) I think that we've all messed with our ozone layer so much that we are doing this to ourselves.  We really need to take care of this world because it might not be here for our family to come.

Ok - I'm off of the soap box now.  Whew, that was a quick one...

How about a card?  I must first say sorry for the picture - my last two pictures that I've taken have not turned out too well.  It could be the weird weather we are having (remember all the windows in my craft room?) or I just need a new camera.  Maybe a little of both...  This picture almost looks cartoon like, so sorry.

My base card is Tangerine Tango that I layered with some dark purple DP and some DP by Pressed Petals.  I stamped the image from SU! Haunting Halloween and colored it in with my pencils and gamsol.  I also used some glitter pens for a little sparkle.  I added some ribbon and a piece of DP from an old SU! Halloween pack (I don't remember the name) before I added the image to the card.  For a finishing touch I added a flower that Mom made with her orange and black thread, using a crystal brad in the middle.  The inside I stamped the sentiment and I was complete. 

Short and sweet.  I'm going to try another card this afternoon as long as the puppy let's me.  She's been into everything the past couple of days.  I knew it when I got her - but she's worth it.

Have a great day!  See you back tomorrow!
