Goodbye Summer-Hello Fall


Oh I have some exciting news! I was selected to be the Guest Designer for the Hallmark Ladybugs blog. They wanted me to showcase my love of the Magnolia Tilda stamps combined with using my Cricut. I made this card at the lake this past week (hence the horrible photo lighting!). I used the Standing Fall Tilda and colored her with Prismas and OMS. For the scene I used the tree from Stamping Solutions (3 layers, leaves cut off on the brown), the apple basket from Pooh & Friends, and the cute little squirrel from Winter Woodlands. I also cut a little slit in her basket and added a couple of apples from Plantin Schoolbook. The sentiment is a stamp and the background paper is DCWV. For more details and some other examples of using Tilda and Cricut die-cuts please visit the Hallmark Ladybug blog HERE. Don't forget to check out the links from there to the online store and gallery for some awesome deals and great inspiration.
