Just Magnolia and Cute Card Thursday


Wow, I have finally managed to get some crafting done and a couple of challenges at that !!

I made my card for Just Magnolia as I've been wanting to join in since it started and then I found out on Tara's blog that it also qualifies for Cute Card Thursday as they would like to see punching and die cutting. I don't usually manage to do one challenge let alone two !!

Rach has designed a fabby sketch on Just Magnolia and I shall be using this one again although next time, I will get my eyes tested first ! I could have sworn the centre was an oval and not a circle. I hope it still qualifies although I think one of the DT used an oval shape ?



The patterned paper is BasicGrey Blush.

The image is a gorgeous Tilda my lovely, lovely friend Tara sent to me. She has been coloured with Prismacolor pencils and a little touch of Cosmic Shimmer paint on the flowers. The background has been inked using broken china and tattered rose distress inks.

The dark red card and bluey/green card are Core'dinations. I used an unknown clear stamp on the red card and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder to give a watermarked look. The green card has been punched with a Fiskars border punch.

The ribbon is from my stash and is gorgeous. It's a brown/copper colour and has a shimmer of blue in it (I think you can just see it in the photo). It actually goes really well with the blue in the paper.

The flowers have been cut with a retro flower punch and daisy punch and I have added some Distress Stickles to the petals and centres.

The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp Exclusive set called "Simply the Best" and the little heart was left over from the Fiskars border punch I used.


Now I could also enter this card into the Simon Says Challenge this week but I can't as I'm on the DT but you could if you have made one like this ! Why not hop over and see what you have to do and be in with a chance of not only winning a $25 spending spree in the Simon Says Stamp Store but also a SIGNED piece of Tim Holtz artwork !!!

Have a great Saturday and thank you so much for popping by and saying hello !

  1. Yummy card Jo - it's so pretty and that paper is gorgeous. It's a set that I don't have and I think I need it, lol! You did a fab job with your Prismas too as Tilda is beautifully coloured. I reckon you'll pass with the oval - I nearly used one on mine, anyway my ribbon is in the wrong place, lol! xx
