Happy 2nd Birthday Magnolia-licious Blog Hop!

Happy 2nd Birthday Magnolia-licious!

I have been waiting to post this project for about a month! We have a Birthday/Celebration theme for an Explosion Box! If you haven’t made one of these you just HAVE to! They are so much fun to make and there’s endless possibilities to what you can do with them!

I have never seen anything like this before, a castle made from an explosion box, if you decide to make anything similiar to my project, would you be ever so kind to link where you got the inspiration from. Thank you so much!

I have turned my Explosion box into a Magical Castle, I just couldn’t resist with these darling Fairytale Stamps, from the Fairytale Collection.

Please visit the Magnolia-licious Highlights Blog for all the details on the project, prize ect. If you have come from Barb’s Blog you are on the right track. Your next stop on the hop is Janiel. So pop on over and see the gorgeous creation she made!

Stamps-#263 PRINCESS TILDA, #605 CASTLE WINDOW, #728 ONCE UPON A TIME, #3035 MINI TILDA , #3039 LONGING TILDA

Paper – SU!

Ink – Copics and watercoloring with SU ink

    I love the idea of the "Explosion Box" being a castle. The Magnolia Fairytale Stamps are definitely my favorite Magnolia stamps...I don't have any of them yet but will be ordering some soon. Thank you for your inspiration. I can't wait to try an explosion box.

    Very beautiful!
