I'm back!!!!!!

Just a quick update since my last post.
My family and I went down to Sydney for our cousins Quinceanera which was so beautiful.

When we got back home the preparations for my daughter's Quinceanera begun. My cousins party inspired me and motivated me to start organising everything we need. We have almost everything, a lot of which came from overseas, including the dress. Anyway, I have been so busy with these preparations, I'm even making the invitations which is my reason for not having any time to play with my stamps until two days ago.
I made this card for my friend. I felt a little rusty with my copic colouring but was excited to try out the new blending paper I bought from Make it Crafty a few months ago. I really love it.
I've used 'Tilda blowing kisses' stamp and Kaisercraft paper (Lovestruck collection).

I'm entering this card in the following challenge:

It's challenge time!

Hello to everyone who has decided to visit my blog.
It is so cold here in sunny Queensland...Brrrrr. Apparently it's the coldest June day since 1916 in Brisbane today. I'm heading down to Sydney tomorrow for my cousins 15th birthday (Quinceañera in Spanish). It's a beautiful celebration of that transition from childhood to womanhood in our culture. My daughter Brianna will be celebrating her Quinceañera next January and we can't wait :)
Anyway, I was so excited to find out the first challenge for The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge is make a birthday project because I made a birthday card for my cousin's 15th birthday. It is my first attempt at a step card. I coloured Lady Tilda with copic markers and then applied glitter to her dress and head band.
The paper I used was Kaisercraft.

I also want to enter this card in the following challenges:

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all those special women in the world.

I love this quote:The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.
She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

Well guess what???

I finally made a card after so many months. I'm still working on my colouring technique but had so much fun making this mother's day card for my special mum. I also need to work on my stitching. lol

As much as I would love to make more of these cards I feel I need TIME. I'm entering this card in

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!

This is my first Christmas card using a Magnolia stamp.

Here is a closer view...

...and here is another version using the same stamp.

I made only four because I'm just learning to colour with copic markers and also started very late.

Hopefully next year I will have mastered the skill and be more organised.

Hope you like them  :)
