I did a light take on my pallet this time around. A card with a candle using Mini Tilda with her Bunny from 2011 Butterfly Dreams Collection and regular size Floral Background.

Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the inside but I'll add it on later. Which reminds me I need to add a picture of the last Magnolia card which I will do now. I'm not so use to taking pictures of the inside so I forget :)

I hope you like Miss Tilda with her Bunny and again you could find her at Magnolia-licious and take advantage of the MINI discount going on today. Play with your minis and merge them with your regular size backgrounds. You should shoot to the challenge blog HERE  to see what my other teammies did for you today as well.

Spectrum Noir Markers DT!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!! What a wonderful opportunity I've been given so I'm taking it and I AM RUNNNNNING...(Like Forrest Gump lol!)

Thank you Jennie Black and DT MEMBERS for having me :)

Anywhoo I've been playing with my spectrum markers and GUYS THEY ARE SO JUICY AND LUSCIOUS! The color on my images are so vivid it's crazy.

I've been keeping this hush hush for a bit now and I'm happy that I finally get to scream it out :) 

I will be having more demos for you guys using these markers and what a better time to start now and since I'm the last on the Magnolia-licious Hop line up.

Then you could hang out with me for a bit whoohooo!!!

At the end of the post I will have links and recipe combo for today's showcase.

I created a Book Mark / Tag featuring my cute Tilda with gift for you. I needed to stay with the theme for the Magnolia-licious challenge which is "Back to School projects"

SO who wants to see how I colored her hair using my Spectrum pens on KRAFT PAPER :)

*******************************

Let the fun begin

Step #1 – Using TN9, randomly start by making some small curl strokes on the base of the head.  Do not go to far out because you want to leave the end of the lock lighter.

Step #2 – Using TN3, start by pulling out TN9 and again leave some hair left for a lighter tip on the curl.  Some strands are so short that dotting the color works also.

Step #3 – Using DR7, go back to the root of the head and create the same stroke on top of the original TN9.  Here, we are starting to preserve our shading.

Step #4 – Using CR1, color in all the untouched spots and ends of locks.  Everything should come together nicely.

Step #5 – Using IG6, dot some dark spots closely under the headband and under her hair line to enhance the deep shades.  The dimensional effect that it gives when you add the dark shading is so eye catching. 

and that's all is to it. I hope I have given you some boost to give it a try.

From now on I will try to do as many more demos as possible. If you want to see a specific technique using Spectrum markers please let me know. I'm game for any challenge.....uhhhhh Did I just say that lol!!!

I guess I did lol!!!! Let me know if you want to a color combo for example. A specific image from Magnolia, Little Darlings, Crafters Companion or Make It Crafty(my DT'S). Of course I would have to make sure I have them in my stash :)

Well here is another glance of the finish tag

here is how it comes apart with a corner book mark, baby tag and mother tag :)

Maybe slipping a thank you note to a teacher or some bribing money BAAAHAAA!!! JK!!!!

Speaking of School.

Guess who IS GOING TO SCHOOL OMG!!! I'm so happy but then the more I think of it. I start getting sad and with a big knot in my throat....SOPHIE.

My baby girl ... my last child :(  I'll be home alone now sigh..... she starts school on Tuesday but tomorrow is open house so she gets to hang out the classroom before the big day, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate even saying it OMG!!! but it makes my heart hurt a little.

I do not like to show my tears when I walk them on their first day of school specially on their pre-k debut. 

Last thing I want is for them to feel scare or mainly embarrass of the crying sobbing lady walking them to school everyday lol!

I think I'm gonna brake this time though .... THIS IS IT!!! No more for me.

OMG!!!! I'm tearing already.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME LOL! I am dead serious I'm weeping right now, lol! 

My Sophie is growing TOO FAST and btw we just celebrated her 4th bday on Aug 12. 

Oh we had so much fun but with this long posting as it is I owe you guys pixs. 

OK I'm signing off so make sure you join us for the Magnolia-licious challenge HERE and for more colouring tips using Spectrum Noir pens visit the blog HERE. 

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK!!! Oh and wish me luck on Tuesday. I'll be back sometime this week. I think something for the sweet tooth -_+ is in order.
