Finished Tilda with Flowers

Yeah, I finished my Tilda with Flowers Shadow Box.

I wasnt sure about the box itself, but I think I will leave it alone. I was going to paint it and rough it up a bit, but I think its growing on me. The browns in the flowers stand out more, since the box is wooden.

What do you all think? Should I paint it white and antique it, or leave it as is?

This is the right side. I added some flowers to the front glass to give it more depth.

And the left side. Tilda is popped out but its hard to tell from these pictures. I love how she turned out and will display her in my "library"

Tilda 5x7

Hi, This is my Un finished Tilda. She is set on a 5x7 canvas, that I plan to put into a shadow box for framing. I just love her.

Although I am not finished yet. I need to "stickle" the butterfly on the left, and I need to find some pearlized heart stick pins. She will also be popped off the window frame. Dont know if you can see the pearls on all the corners, but they are there.

I colored her with Copics. So much fun! Thanks for looking

Beagles

A few people have asked about my Beagles, so I thought I would post one with both my "kids"

More Maggies later. Im off to the shop.

Another Mag colored

OK, giving this another shot after I think I worked out blog user issues.

This is Tilda and Edwin married. Used Colored pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits (oms) Also used some Stickles on veil and flowers

Also, just because he is a love, here is Jack at about 2 months.

Hello from Iowa

HI, I am new at this blogging, so please bear with me.

My name is Jody and I am a crafter!

I decided to start a blog for my Magnolia cards and images. I fell in love with Tilda and Edwin about 2 months ago and have managed to collect 20 stamps. That is not an easy task. In the States, there are 3 stores that carry Magnolia. Just by chance, Cottage Corner in Davenport does. But they are expensive there. $15 each image. Yikes.

Then I found a wonderful Yahoo group and through them I now have an online store to shop at and the stamps are $11 or less, unless they go on special. Plus free shipping if I spend enough. :)

So, enough about me...I need to post some cards! Any advice is most welcome.
