Lazy Summer Day Picnic - Summer Bash Blog Hop

Hello.

I am participating in a blog hop...woo-hoo. The Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog DT are joining the Magnolia-licious Highlites DT in their Summer Bash Blog Hop. Details on how to play and win the fabulous prizes can be found at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog HERE.

We were asked to create a summertime card/project with one of the following themes:
Beach Bash, Summer Barbecues/Picnics or Fishing Fun!

I went with the picnic theme and this is my Lazy Summer Day Picnic card. I call this type of card a 3-easel card.


Now, the story behind this card is the Tilda gang have decided to go on a picnic on a lazy summer day and everybody assumed that somebody else will bring the picnic blanket/quilt. Of course nobody did...LOL...so they are having their picnic sitting on the grass underneath the old oak tree.






I think I went a bit too ambitious using all these Magnolia images...LOL. All the images/stamps I used here are available for your purchase at Magnolia-licious on-line store.



- Relaxing Tilda from the Magnolia and Lilac Collection 2008

I've dotted the paper with glue and sprinkled green flocking to make it look like grass. I hardly ever work with flocking, but I thought this might work.



I've altered a couple of Magnolia images here:

- Tilda with Spring Bundle from the Hoppy Easter Collection 2010 -- I replaced the spring flower bundle with a bottle of wine.
- Vintage Tilda from the Merry Little Christmas Collection 2010 -- I replaced the Christmas tree ornament with a watermelon.
- Log from the Autumn and Halloween Collection 2008



- Tilda on Elbows from the Easter & Spring Collection 2007
- Sweetie Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow Collection 2011
- Old Oak Tree from the Summer and Sea Collection 2008



I've altered a couple more images...LOL...can you tell I love doing this!...hee hee.
- Wilma With Rose from the Raising the Ceiling & Right Through My Heart Collection 2010 -- Wilma had to let go of the rose in her mouth because she managed to grab some sausages from someone's picnic.
- Gingerbread Tilda from the Merry Little Christmas Collection 2010 -- I replaced the gingerbread hearts with a couple of baguettes.
