Magnolia-licious Spring Blog Hop

Welcome to our SPRING BLOG HOP at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!!

If you are arriving from beautiful TAMARA then you are on the right track, if not please go back to the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and you can see the line up of our talented Design Team.

For the occasion I made a canvas using a ton of spring flowers and the big Magnolia Butterfly.  I wanted to create a something carefree and full of color to celebrate new life and all the blooms that are coming out in Spring.

I hope you are counting the tulips here on this first photo!!  

Basically I used a Prima watercolor canvas and Prima water color crayons to create the background. Then I glued flowers and chipboard onto it with some painted cardboard. Lastly I had fun with distressed inks and splattered them onto the canvas.

The butterfly is water colored with the Elegant Writer pen and then I applied modge podge onto it so that it is stiff and able to stand without falling over.

Now for your next stop, HOP over to the super talented...

Easter Magnolia-licious Blog Hop

Hello everyone and Happy Easter from all of us at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!!

  We are having a Easter Blog Hop for you today!

If you have hopped over to me from the talented  Karen Gauthier  then you are on the right track, if not please check back at the Magnolia-licious Blog for the complete list of our design team.

I have a used a bird cage from Prima and Finnabar's Art Alchemy paint to make the cage a metallic green gold color but keeping the shabby feel of it. Prima Frameworks birdcage came with the ceramic bird so I painted it with a few of the Art Alchemy paint colors. 

The background paper is from Pions latest collection Easter Greetings, gorgeous paper!  I also paper mache it on the eggs also.  Then I painted over them with the Art Alchemy paint.

My image is the sweet and sassy Ballerina Bunny Tilda and the Mini Two Egg stamp.  They are both colored with Distressed Inks and stickles for a little shine. 

The Art Alchemy paints turn color depending on the background color your item has. The shabby gray parts turned purple while the antique white turned green gold. I love them.  My Easter decor item is on my dining room table, something I will use for every Easter.

The next talented designer on the Hop is.......
