A Magnolia card for a birthday boy

Hi there! Sitting here while the kids are toring the house down. It sounds like it anyway. Promissed them a surprise if they could leave me alone for as long as it takes me to finish this off. At the moment it doesn't sound so good. Home alone with the little monsters until Sunday when my partner in "crime" gets back home from a buisness trip. At the moment if feels like he will be gone forever. Of corse my bXXXXX body woun't play fair with me either, so on top of being alone, I have pain that I don't even wish for my worst enemy.

 The insides upper part of the card.

So as my olders is going to a five year olds birthday party on Sunday and W didn't want to make the card this time I have spend the day working with it between contacting doctors of all kinds.

Here is the inside that will be completed with a white circle to write on, when I have figured out what to write. A few days left to do that. :)

Have used soccer Edwin and the goal scenery from the Winner takes it all collection. Coloured the little guy in the local teams colours. Used the Magnolia soccer designer paper together with another green one that is abit older. Raised the laces inside the card, but made them flat outside not to take the focos from the main image. And I kind of needed the space. :) Now I just need to write down the birthday greeting and maybe add another "5" on the inside. I play along with the Just Magnolia Hänglar challenges witch is distressing this week and at the TOMIC challenge the theme is set to sporty + a sketch. Thanks for that theme, I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do for one the best buddies in W's life at this point.

Afternoon to you all!

Hot like crazy here today and I have got absolutly nothing done here today. Not a bad thing, I got a surprise visit from my sister in law, mum and two sweet kids. It's wonderful not doing anything just relax.

Lucky for me the weather wasn't that good the other day and then I got a card done. And as I droped by the challenge blog over at TOMIC I saw that my card fitted their challenge this week. Their theme is Shimmer and pearls this time. I got some glitter going on the flowers and then there is some shimmer sprayed on as well but the photo shows absolutly nothing of that. But it's there, and so is the pearls...

This time I have coloured with distress inks for a change, kind of relaxing. Flowers are from WOC, Prima and Kaiser Kraft for a change, pearls from Bunny Zoe. The white corners are also from WOC, but silver in original, covered with some hobby paint from Panduro. DP are from Bearly Mine, Summer's roses.

So with this I leave you today, short and sweet.

Love n hugs

Hello summer!

Mid summer Eve coming up tomorrow and I have been fixing and baking in the kitchen the whole morning. I thought I take a break and show off one of my cards that I have made lately.

I have used a bunch of designer papers from Bearly Mine, the striped one in green with roses are probably my all time favourite, I just love it and have to stop myself from using it all the time. :)

The stamps I have used is from Sweet Rainbow collection which I totally adore! The very best images in a long time from Magnolia I think. And when I got my club kit the other day I was very happy to see so many Edwins, and especially the tennis player. Awsome!

OK, back to the card, DP from Bearly Mine, that was done... Flowers from Wild Orchid and so is the lace and pearls from Bunny Zoe. The images is colored with pro- and triamarkers. Kind of experimented a bit here with only colouring parts with colour on the back ground stamp and the rest in a warm grey scale. I really like the result as it makes the Tilda image stand out great. :)

I would like to enter this card to the TOMIC challenge blog which has the theme of summer.

Have a wonderful weekend, stay crafty!

With love n hugs
Marie
