Advent Calendar Window #23


Good morning LLC followers and friends!

It's time to open window #23 of our LLC Advent Calendar, only one more day to go! 

 Behind window #23 is.... 

(drum roll please....)

 ♥♥♥

♥♥

♥


You know I am a "Mangolia- addict", so I'm happy to tell you it's

one of my favorite Magnolia background stamps... 




It's perfect for masking with one of the many sitting Magnolia Tildas (or Edwins), and you can use it both for your summer and winter stamps!

For a chance to win this beauty, all you have to do to is:
1) Become a follower of this blog if you're not already
2) Post our Advent Blinkie in your Blog Sidebar. The html code can be found here.
3) Leave a comment on the blog post with your thoughts on the project.

Here is my inspiration for you:
I made the box with my score-pal. The papers are from the Maja Design It's Christmas time Collection, I used sheets from the 6x6 paper pad. 
All the edges are distressed with Tim Holtz distress ink- walnut stain.  I masked the Magnolia Swing stamp with an older sitting Tilda image. The images are colored with copic markers.

I added white Shabby Seam Binding on the sides and as a bow. The flowers are white Chrysanthemums and the cream berries from  Kort og Godt. The red berries are the Redly Magnolia Vintage Berries. The pins I used (oh I love those pins!) are the  Vintage Pearl Pins, The Vintage Trinklet Heart Pins and the Trinket Mini Heart Pins by Maya Road and I also used cheese cloth. The pearls are a piece of the Pearl Spray.


 For the diecut I used Pion papers (Guardian Angel) and a spellbinder die.



This was my final project in the Advent Calendar, 
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas- time!
crafty hugs, 
Elizabeth
