Shy Edwin In Love

Happy Sunday!  This week on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog we are asking you to use two or more images - this can be a combination of two or more main images, background images, furniture, or even accessory stamps.  For my card I used four of the stamps I just received last week from Diana at Magnolia-licious - and three are from the brand new "You Are So Special" collection!   Meet Shy Rose Edwin and his love, Tilda with Big Ribbon: 

The background stamp is Romantic Window from the new collection and Tilda is sitting on Old Bench.  The papers are from my stash and they are at least a year old - if not two!  The collection is from Making Memories and not only did I buy the papers, but I also bought the matching die cuts, ribbons, notepad, and brads.   

I coloured the images with a combination of copic markers, Koh-I-Noor coloured pencils, and Stampin' Up! chalks.  The trim on Tilda's dress, undershorts, and socks have been treated to Stampin' Up! dazzling diamonds.

Happy New Year My Son, My Moon and My Stars!

Ever since my son was a baby, I have called him "my son, my moon, and my stars".  When Magnolia-licious Highlites set this month's challenge as any shape except the normal rectangle or square, I struggled against the obvious circle and stumbled across star.  I was already colouring a new Magnolia image I received for Christmas and the rest of the card elements just came together from there.  So here is my New Year's card for my darling son!

My appologies to the fabulous Magnolia artist as I cut off her lizard's tongue.  My son's pet bearded dragon loves to ride on his shoulders and while Drago does have a tongue, he doesn't show it often.  The star shape was cut with the Cricut and a sun has been stitched on top of the stars.  On the inside, I stitched a moon and added smaller stars cut with the Cricut.

The new challenge at Roses on Paper is to use your favorite colouring medium which for me is the equivalent of picking between my son and daughter!  I hope they'll settle for picking my favorite coloured pencils - Lyra.  Several challenge blogs are focused on a New Year's theme - Everybody Art Challenge, Cute Card Thursday, Simon Says Challenge, and Stampavie and More so I will be entering Happy New Year Edwin in those as well.

Thank you for stopping by to look!
