Summer Wedding Tilda

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday:) 

I'm just popping in to share a shaker card I made. 

This little sweetie is by Magnolia and is called Summer Wedding Tilda.

I have used Distress reinkers to colour her and sprinkled a small amount of pink frantage around the outside of her.

The shaker element is made up of pink and cream sequins and I've added some pink pearl string around the outside of the shaker.

The flowers are a mixture of Ribbon Girl and some are from my crafty stash.

The ribbon, pearl trim are from the Ribbon Girl. Although the diamante and pearl embellishment isn't from the Ribbon Girl, they sell some that are very similar.

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique linen

Dress:  Gathered Twigs,

Flowers: Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany

That's all from me today, have a lovely weekend.

Thank you for popping in.

Tilda with Flowers in her Pocket

Good morning,

Golly, it is so hot here in the south at the moment, I am not a fan of the heat, I think its an age thing as I used to love it, but nowadays I much prefer the autumn and winter. 

I am popping in today to share a card I made recently. 

The stamp is by Magnolia and she is called Tilda with Flower in her Pocket, I have coloured her with DI reinkers and sprinkled a little pink frantage around the outside . The flowers in the corners are from a Stempelglede 'Postcard' set of stamps.

The butterfly border die is by Joy Crafts and the die cut peeping out on the right is a Marianne corner die.

The lace, ribbon, pearl string and flowers are from my own crafty stash.

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain
Dress and Shoes: Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Some Exciting News!

Hi everyone,

Yay it's Friday, I hope you have had a good week.

Well I have some very exciting news to share with you. As you know I have been guest designing for Polkadoodles for a couple of weeks which I loved, but then I was contacted by Nikky to ask me join the team full time, wahoo, I am so excited and it only took a nano second to respond, so thank you Nikky for inviting me to be part of this awesome team.

So this is my first DT card. As always the challenge is 'Anything Goes' but the DT are always tasked with a theme. This time the team had to used pastel colours, well you know I love pastel colours so it wasn't a difficult one for me.

This gorgeous girl is called 'Surprise Gift Winnie' and I have coloured her with DI reinkers, but if colouring isn't your thing or you need to make a quick card, you can also buy her pre-coloured. (I have put links to both at the bottom of my post).

 

The gorgeous soft tone papers are also from Polkadoodles and they print out beautifully with a lovely texture.


Just click here to go to the papers as the link is not working properly at the bottom of the post.

The sentiment is also from Polkadoodles from the Winnie Celebrations kit 1.

I printed Winnie onto watercolour card and cut her out with a curricular die, once coloured I mounted it onto a  LDRS butterfly wreath die cut, finishing it off with some white pearl string. The small butterflies are also part of of the die set.

The pom pom trim, most of the flowers, ribbon and lace are from the Ribbon Girl.

Links to the materials I have used are at the bottom of this post, just click on a picture to be taken directly to the product.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Dress, Shoes and Flower: Victorian Velvet
Bow, Ribbon and Tag: Evergreen Bough

The winner of this challenge will win a voucher to spend in the Polkadoodles download store and each of the top 3 selected by the DT will win a free digi stamp voucher to spend in the store and you don't have to use a Polkadoodles image to enter the challenge so it's well worth entering.

Well that's all from me today.

Have a lovely weekend.

The die cut heart is a Joy Crafts die, the paper doily is from my crafty stash.

The ribbon, lace (sorry its currently out of stock, but there is lots more gorgeous lace to choose from), twine, pearl trim and flowers are from the 

Ribbon Girl.
