My first Marvelous Magnolia DT Post-Challenge #92 "Vintage"!!

Good Monday morning dear blogging friends!!

I'm super excited to be here with my first post as a new member of the Marvelous Magnolia Design Team!!!!  Today we begin a new challenge...for the next two weeks we want you to bring out every thing "Vintage"!!  Our wonderful sponsor for our challenge is Stamp and Create where you'll find stamps, dies and many more craft necessities in their on-line store!!

Okay so I have been wanting to work on something special for my "Vintage" friend Dianne...now when I say "Vintage" that doesn't mean that she's old...lol...it just means that we have been friends forever!!!!  Dianne has just finished renovating her craft room so I thought that I would make her a little "dresser" to store some of her embellies in and she just happens to be having a birthday coming up!!!

Here is what I came up with...

please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...

I forgot to take a picture of the "naked" dresser before I got to work on it...

I stained it with Ranger Distress Ink-Vintage Photo...

then covered it with Decou-page added tissue paper then another layer of the Decou-page to seal it...

when it was dry I rubbed on some Inka Gold...

okay I may have enlarged this a bit much...lol... but I wanted to show details...

 another angle...

I added a lace "runner", pearl strands, feather cluster, flowers, shabby seam binding, ribbon, a cameo made using molding clay and a mold and a stick pin with crystal/pink glass...

 this sweet Tilda is "Christmas Kitchen Tilda" from the Waiting for Christmas 2014 collection...

coloured using just two colours of distress re-inkers...Tea Dye and Tattered Rose...

I wanted to give it more of a sepia appearance...

then framed her with lace/rhinestones...

I made an easel at the back to prop the "photo" up...

 love these "vintage" mirrors...

 close up from the side...

the cameo, ribbon, lace,shabby seam binding and stick pin...

I sewed a shabby seam binding ribbon onto the lace runner when I hemmed it to form a triangle end...

 the back of the "photo"...

the tag is Magnolia and I've written my "Happy Birthday" message to my "Vintage" friend...

 the top opens to reveal this sectioned tray...

the bottom drawer opens for more storage (as seen in first pic)...

 

That completes my very first Marvelous Magnolia DT post!!!  Now please go on over to the Marvelous Magnolia Challenge blog...you have to see the gorgeous creations that my VERY talented team mates have to show you...then it's your turn to inspire us!! 

Until next time...thank you for taking the time to stop by!!  Your visits and comments are SO very much appreciated!!!

Midweek Magnolias-Challenge #112 "Masculine"

Well happy Wednesday dear bloggers!!

Today we begin another new challenge at Midweek Magnolias and our theme for the next two weeks is "Masculine"!!  As always our fabulous sponsor is Magnolia Sweden!!!  

Now any of you who visit me often know how I cringe at the "masculine" style...while I admire everyone else's work I find myself struggling to keep the lace and frills from invading MY card!!  So I decided to do my four month old Grandson's birthday card REALLY early cause I get to at least make it cutesy right...lol!!  His birthday isn't until December...well heck for once I am WAY ahead of the game!!!

Here is what I came up with for our darling Max...

please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...

I made a simple 6x6 card base and added an "envelope" as the decorative part...

I used both sides of double sided paper by "imaginisce"...

it's called "Twitterpated-Mushroom Fancy"...

folded over the top flap...added a brad and fibre to keep it down and curled over one of the top corners...just for a little bit of flair...lol...

and at the bottom are buttons with fibre through the holes...

 this is "Little Cute Edwin" from the Special Moments 2013 collection...

I masked him on Magnolia "Mushrooms with Snail"...sorry can't remember which collection...

coloured with my distress re-inkers...

I just had to add a touch of Chunky White Frantage!!...

 "Happy Birthday" is a new die that I just got from Frantic Stamper Inc...

they cut like a dream!!!...

thanks America for putting me onto them...

and the inside...

"Happy Birthday" once again...

the matts (also the one that Edwin is stamped on) are Go Kreate #360028 & #120021...



 

Well that is Mr.  Max's first birthday card done!!  Now for experts on the masculine style you really need to check out the fabulous inspiration that my Midweek Magnolias teamies have in store for you!!
