It's time for a new challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog. Angela is our hostess this October and she has chosen 'Halloween Project (no cards)' as the theme for our challenge.
I struggled in deciding what to make. Finally decided to make Treat or Trick bags--well, they're treat bags really, no tricks in them...LOL. With time running out though...yikes, I was able to make only 2 of them.
Here's a view from a different angle to show the sides of the treat bags and also of how I've similarly decorated the back of both bags.
One of the Magnolia images I am featuring is this Wizard Tilda--I call her the female Harry Potter...LOL. She is from the Princes & Princesses Collection 2012.
And this is Sitting Witch Tilda (link is for the mini stamp), from the So Spooky Collection 2009. OMG, I didn't realize that collection was that old. This Tilda looks just as adorable as newer ones, don't you think? I've used my markers to colour these images.Check out Diana's on-line store, Magnolia-licious, as your source for your Magnolia stamps. Diana has a vast colletion of other full-size as well as mini images. You can expect excellent services and discounted prices, as well as earning in-store credit on each order.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring
Norma, I am probably going to short circuit my computer because of the drool dripping from my mouth! Girl, these have been colored with such perfection. I love the second one just a little more because of the depth and highlights you have on Tilda's dress. Both are just amazing (and I rarely use that word)! Oh, how I wish I could color like you! Wow!
