SC139 -- Addicted to Magnolia

I admit it, I am totally and completely smitten with these gorgeous stamps from Magnolia. I want more. I am trying to save up some funds to get more. I am also in the middle of some transition in my life. My BIL is moving in with us for awhile and we are about 60 days away from closing on our new house. Not to mention, showing and attempting to sell the house we are in currently. It is absolutely nuts. I am going to have to step away from stamping for a bit in order to get everything packed up in time to move and to get brother in law settled in, but I promise to still blog as I have some cards that I have made that I have not shared with you yet, and some recipes too.

The spiders in the background were created using some awesome acrylic stamps from Papertrey Ink. This was my first time ordering from them, and I was both impressed and excited about the quality of their stamps, the crisp images they leave and the service I got from them. The image was colored using prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits (mine are called Sansodor). The background paper is by KI Memories. The ribbon is double stitched black that I got from Hobby Lobby.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
