United colors of love

Hello everyone,

Some time ago, I saw this image pass on a very well-known social network :


"It's not the color of our skin that makes us different, it's the color of our thoughts"

I found it so beautiful and strong in meaning that I wanted to make a little card out of it by trying my hand, for the first time, at coloring darker skin.


Magnolia stamps from the "Lovely Collection 2021":
Love Letter Tilda
Snail Mail Tilda
Lace Heart Tilda
 
Text stamp Stempelglede
Paper from the 6x6 '"Summertime" Maja Design block

Die Crealies n ° 70


The 3 dolls are sufficient on their own, I voluntarily opted for a very simple sketch by adding almost nothing except 3 mini roses coordinated with the colors of my paper.


I hope that you will like her !

Kisses
Lilly

Open the Window !

Hello everyone,

A very simple card today, just to highlight these two very pretty Magnolia stamps coordinated with the green papers of the equally attractive "Miles Apart" collection by Maja Design.
(links at the end of the article)


For more realism and transparency, I cut each tile with a cutter and placed a piece of rhodoïd behind my first paper.


I also glued 3 very small roses on the roses of the stamp;) and used this "scalloped rectangle" die from My Favorite Things that I love !!




Have a beautiful end of day !
with love
Lilly

Hello everyone,

Today I am offering you a very girly birthday card, made once again with the wonderful collection of "Miles Apart" papers from Maja Design that I love !! (link at the end of the article)

I'll tell you a secret: the blues are as beautiful as the roses, can't wait to scrap them too !!


Stamp "Hippity Hoppity 2019: Flower Bunny Tilda", Magnolia
Dies "Fence" and "Chicken Wire", Magnolia


All thicknesses of papers are mounted on 3D foam to provide depth.


To dress my barrier, I mixed some pretty ready-made roses with two "house" flowers in white Foamiran. The leaves are made of paper.


Frankly, have you ever seen something so cute ??
Another doll that fits in the Top 10 of my favorite stamps ever ... well, the problem is that there are indeed about fifty stamps in my Top 10 ...

See you soon
Lilly

Castle Pop Up Box Card


Good morning!  I have a castle pop up card to show you today using Maja Design papers and the wonderful Magnolia Castle Doohickey die.  The papers are from Maja's Vintage Summer Basics, Denim & Friends and Traditional Christmas collections.


To make a symetrical front to the card I used castle die cut from the reverse side on the right of the card.  I have also used the reverse sides of the paper for the little brick sections for added interest.  The castle gates are made from the Window Doohickey.


I have used the castle again on the top of the card along with two towers cut from a Magnolia die from Volume 5.  The battlements are the top of the Lovely Fence Doohickey die.


On each side I have also added some little bricks from the castle Doohickey die.  The clouds were cut with the Doohickey from Volume 25, Bella Notte.


Once you open the gates the drawbridge drops down to reveal the birthday message.  


The 'portcullis' is the fence Doohickey from Volume 25 turned upside down.  I love it when you can use dies to make other items.


The whole card still folds down flat to be placed into an envelope.  I hope you like it and thanks for looking!
