Golden Week Tilda

Hi everyone, 

I am back after an amazing few days in Wales. The weather was very kind to us apart from the last day and I had the most fantastic time. Thank you to my wonderful hubby Phil, for making my birthday even more special. I have popped a couple of pics at the end of the post.  I was also very spoilt as I received some lovely crafting gifts from my family and from a special crafty friend Judy (thank you). 

I thought I would just share a card I made before I went away using Golden Week Tilda which I've coloured with Distress Inks. Peeping out from the top is a paper doily. The butterfly is made from a silicone mould and air dry clay. The swirl is a Magnolia Doohickey die and the film strip is by Noor Design. The flowers, charm, ribbon, star space embellishment and lace is from my stash.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Dress: Pumice Stone
Flowers: Aged Mahogany, Spun Sugar

Here are a few pics from our trip:

Rhossili Bay, there is a steep walk down to the beach, which is stunning, but it took all my puff to get back up! 

Worms Head, when the tide is out you can walk across to LLangennith

This is the view from out hotel room window

Well that's it from me today.

Have a lovely weekend.

New Challenge at LHOSM - Tilda with Knee Socks

Hi everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend, and if you are in the U.K. enjoy your extended weekend. We have been making the most of the mild weather this weekend and been pottering in the garden, it looks all neat and tidy again. We both have the week off and on Thursday I will be celebrating my birthday so Phil and I are going to have a couple of days away in Porthcawl South Wales.

Anyway on with the task in hand as we have a new challenge today at Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia and our challenge this time is 'buttons or bows', I decided to use both.

I have stamped up one of the new Tildas from the latest Sakura collection. This little sweetie is called 'Tilda' with Knee Socks'. She has been coloured with a mixture of distress ink markers and reinkers. The shape has been cut using a Go Kreate die. At the top of the card I've used a  Sizzix die, Torn Notebook and I've added a tiny bit of Dutch Doobadoo Structuer paste to the edges and some ivory pearl daisy trim along the centre. The bow is made from Pink Silky Crush ribbon and I've added a button and some natural twine. I've made a bow on the right using natural twine and added a silver heart charm and pearl gem. 

The pretty heart swirl has been cut from a Magnolia Doohickey die. The flowers, lace and butterfly are from my stash.

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen

Dress & Hat: Picked Raspberry, Shabby Shutters

Socks Shabby Shutters

New Colour Challenge at the Ribbon girl - Whimsy Iris

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I have one more week left and then we break up  for half term, wow I can't believe how quickly the time has gone!

This morning we have a new colour challenge at the Ribbon Girl and the colour this month is Aqua.

I have coloured up a Whimsy stamp called Iris and edged it with Ivory Pearl String. She is coloured with Distress Ink Markers and Reinkers. The papers are from LOTV and are called 'Beach Bliss'. Tucked underneath the image is some cheesecloth  and just peeping out from the top is a new Noor Design Viewmaster die.  The banner and text stamp are also from Noor Design.

The tag is also by Noor Design UK and to the right of it are some sweet Aqua Vintage Blooms .

I've given her wings some extra dimension by decoupaging them and added some stickles for a bit of sparkle. 

All the flowers and beautiful Ivory Lace leaves are from Ribbon Girl, tucked underneath them is a Noor Design Leaf Swirl die.

The lace is so pretty and the ribbon is really soft and easy to form a bow with, in the centre I've placed a Diamante Spacer and Aqua Blue gem.

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Dress, Wings and Trousers:  Peacock Feathers, Gathered Twigs
