Magnolia-licious Highlites Fall Project and an Award

The very talented Magnolia-licious DT used their fall stamps to create a card and coordinating project for their Tricks-n-Treats Blog Hop last week. Check out all the talent here at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog and join in on the fun. You could win a fabulous $10 gift certificate to Magnolia-licious along with a fall stamp of your choice!

Here's my card and coordinating project.

For my card, I cased a layout by the talented Sue Nelson here. I've been wanting to make a card with a circle sentiment generated by WordArt for sometime now. Sue is an inspiration so check out her work and make sure you have a cup of coffee and/or tea with you while you visit.

I used last year's Halloween paper by Heidi Grace ~ love this paper. I purchasaed all the sheets ~ ok hoarded (lol) ~ I could get my little hands on from Skribbles and Scraps. I stamped the Magnolia image on Wausau paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with my Copics. I kept the card layout simple as the paper is very busy. Copic colours used: E000, E01, R20, G20, V04, V12, E35, E59, YR15, YR82 & Y21. Here's a close-up of the image and sentiment circle.

For the coordinating project, I used my Cricut Expression with the Tags, Boxes and More cartridge to make a little purse. Ribbon is from my stash. My oldest daughter is in love with this set so of course I will surprise her with it in her lunch bag at school for Halloween.

On a final note, I am very flattered to have received this award from Bernie, a very talented crafter who I consider to be a good friend. Check out her beautiful creations here. She has an amazing sense of humour as well so you'll be smiling when you visit.

I would like to pass this award on to the following lovely ladies which I admire oh so very much. Nikki, Ila, Aud, Michele & Suzanne.

I'm making up for lost time with this extra-long post ~ phew I'm tired now (lol).

I appreciate you stopping by to visit. Hugs,
Maria
