Midsummer Night's dream | Magnolia Pop Up Box

Hi friends!

Today's post is all about midsummer day although it was a bit late :)
I read that given Scandinavia’s long, dark winters, it’s not surprising that the arrival of summer is a big deal throughout the Nordic countries. In Sweden, Midsummer’s Eve is one of the most important days of the year, rivaling Christmas with its festive spirit and traditions.

~cmiiw~

Magnolia has released a mini set called Midsummer Night's Dream on a PopUp Box.

and I am gonna show you the sweet image from that box so here is my card,

Isn't she is too sweet?

I am curious about the celebration of the midsummer, but yeah I will give her a rainbow color to complete her cuteness.

After I stamped her on watercolor paper with memento ink rich cocoa I colored her using watercolor mediums; Distress Ink Vintage photo for her skin, Walnut stain for hair and the rest I use Winsor and Newton watercolor paint.

I framed the main panel with the help of Pretty Pink Posh scallop frame dies and I was coloring the frame with watercolor paint in rainbow colors.

I also give her a soft background to describe the Midsummer.

Sentiment also from the kit as well as the dragonflies.

if you don't have a lot of time to create, try to rely on sequins as the final touch.

For me, it works! 

Enjoy your summer vibes!

Summer fruit mini series #3 (the end) | Watermelon Tilda

Hiya sweet peeps!

and this is the last post in Summer fruit mini-series, I am very excited about this parade and I hope the same with you!  Because sometimes fruits are not only good to enjoy but can be a source of inspiration on hot summer days. :) :)

then this is my last inspiration card with fruits:

Featuring Melon Tilda from the Fruit salad collection, I just happy to wrap out this series :)

Thinking about a watermelon,

I just feel like a fresh, juicy and sweet!

although it has so many seeds :D

Life is like eating a watermelon, you know you're going to get some seeds; just spit them out and take another bite.

this quote so true! he he he

First, I stamped the image onto a piece of watercolor paper (I used Canson Illustration paper) then I colored her with the watercolor medium, as usual.

To finish my card I embossed the words using white embossing powder (pardon with my messy embossed)

 See you again on another post, until then Have a fruitful (beautiful) day!

Summer fruit mini series #2 | Pineapple Tilda

Hi lovely readers!

So this is the second post about my Summer fruit mini-series, and while the last one will be my favorite fruit today I am going to to share a tropical fruit which is my husband favorite!

That is a ...

Pineapple!

a tropical plant with an edible fruit :) :)

if you feel pineapple skin, it's hard and rough but the flesh has a crisp, sweet and fresh texture!

You must be patient to peel the skin if you want to enjoy the delicacy of the fruit.

it reminds me about a quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, he says:

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

I am featuring Ananas Tilda from the Fruit salad collection, coloring her with watercolor medium and pick some word to complete my card.

I cut a frame from watercolor paper with Pretty Pink Posh scallop frame and paint it with ombre color.

Have a beautiful summer to all of you!

Summer fruit mini series #1 | Grape Tilda

Hi everyone!

 

I hope you all are having the great summer so far, and enjoy the sunlight.

How is the weather around you? Do you have anything special this summer?

I really want to hear the story from some places on this earth :)

 

I am going to share something that definitely helps me to bring back my mojo after a break for weeks, it seems likely a simple sketch with less decoration but focusing on the image itself.

I am featuring some images from Magnolia stamp, named Fruit Salad collection.

It will come in mini-series, there are three blog post starts from today;

In fact, she is Raspberry Tilda but I consider her to represent "Grape" :) :)

 I just love this color combo finally I can present purple pretty well, I usually have difficulty with this color, really!
I used only standard design for a greeting card and I tell you the truth that I am a big fan for Hallmark cards, I adore their design with the elegance of simplicity.

Oh I just LOVE with the words of Mighty Hands - Fruit of the spirits

It complete my card and brings such a perfect combination.

 

I don't re-write the words here but I do recommend you to check this stamp set if you need some spiritual refreshment, for me, it works well!!

 

 

Have a great week ahead!

and stay blessed!
