~ Shades of Grey ~

Finally I took some time for me and my crafting and

played along with some challenges.

With so many challenges out there it's hard to know

where to start, all I knew was there were going to be

Magnolia stamps involved.

**

I haven't stamped Romantic Tilda before and I had a

lot of fun with her, she's so pretty.

**

**

My initial thoughts were to colour using pink, but after

choosing my papers I decided for a bit of a monochrome

look with Shades of Grey. Somewhere along my blog

hopping I saw a Vintage Challenge, but now I have no

idea where I saw it.

My next challenge was for a Masculine Card. This wasn't

a blog challenge, simply a challenge for me. I steer clear

of male cards generally however there comes a time when

it's a males birthday when I simply have no choice.

This is my take on the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

I've had this stamp in my collection forever - I think it

was one of the very first stamps that I ever bought.

I think it's very similar to the very popular Popcorn

Bear stamps.

Surely you didn't think I'd just make one Magnolia card.

The bear card would have been a Magnolia card to if they

made bear stamps!!!!

**

Magnolia-licious Highlites are having a Nautical themed

challenge this week - perfect, I got to stamp up one of my

Magnolia Pirates that I so desperately needed and had

yet to use!!!! I think we've all been guilty of that hmmmm.

The sketch is from Friday Sketchers.

**

I didn't have any pirate paper so I used the same

Papermania paper pad as I did for my Shades of

Grey Romantic Tilda card.

Somehow I don't think this little pirate is going to strike

up to much fear on the Seven Seas.
