Haenglar Tea-Light Card

Good Evening to all my blogging friends. Hope you are having a relaxing evening.
I've been busy attempting to create a tea-light card for LOVELY HAENGLARS ONLY.
I have been searching for a tutorial and came upon one by Marianne. She did a wonderful job and you can find it HERE.
I used Melissa Frances "Virginia" papers, Nesties, Magnolia leaf die, flowers by Prima and the gorgeous brad is from Dovecraft. The ribbon is from my stash.
I purchased Balsam Cedar tea lights for the card.
I used a mini Haenglar for the inside of the card. I brushed gold smooch on the wings, but it really doesn't show up well on the picture.
Thank you so much for visiting. Now that I have made my first tea-light card, I will definitely be making more. Hugs, Christina

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Good evening everyone! I have been taking some time and admiring all of your beautiful works of art and I am just amazed at all the talent out there.
I made this card for the MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG. We were to take our inspiration from a picture of a Christmas tree, wreath, gifts and window. I chose to follow up on the Christmas tree and I immediately knew which two Tildas I wanted to use. The tree and both of those cuties are from the 2008 Christmas collection and available for purchase at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store. The gorgeous red glittery ribbons and flower were a gift from my wonderful friend, Jacque.
I also used the Magnolia lace die and chandelier glass, also available at Diana's store.
The lace is from my stash, as well as the gold ribbon and paper.
Thank you so much for visiting. Your wonderful comments mean so much!
