Sweet Pastel Present Shaped Card

Hi crafty friends! It’s time for Marvelous Magnolia reminder post today. The current challenge is

No Fall Colours

You have 1 more week to submit your project here.

To stay away from fall colours like yellow, orange, and brown, I selected pastel blue, purple, and pink for this project as they are my favourite colours. And I’m glad this theme is not for autumn because I really wanted to use new Magnolia stamps which are in Christmas theme. I used one of the stamps from the Fall 2015 Stamp club. This is “Lace Hood Tilda” from the new preorder A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection. She is holding a Christmas gift box so I create a present shaped card to match with the image.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Lace Hood Tilda” stamp from A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection
• Magnolia “Christmas Tag Packages” stamp from A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection
• LOTV “Christmas Wishes” clear stamp set
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 7 “Holidays are coming”
• Magnolia Doohickey “Christmas Tags” die
• Magnolia Doohickey “Cozy Fern and Snowflake” die
• Magnolia Doohickey “Spruce” die
• Spellbinders Nestabilities “Classic Oval Large” Dies
• Spellbinders Nestabilities “Floral Ovals” dies
• Lawn Fawn “Puffy Star Stackables” Dies
• Cuttlebug “Swiss Dots” embossing folder
• Paper flowers and Stamens
• Stampendous Frantage “Shabby Blue” embossing enamel
• Ranger Stickes “Diamond”
• Embellishments: Ribbons, Lace, Pearl string, Rhinestone, Chandelier
• Gesso

The stamped images were coloured with distress ink as usual. I added gesso lightly to soften the colours down to get sweet shabby chic look. Here is the close up. 

The lid of the present box can be pulled out to write the message inside.
