Tilda Binding Flowers

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday, I hope you have all had a good week.

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

I have coloured up Tilda Binding Flowers with distress ink reinkers.

The shape of  the card has been cut with a Gummiapan postage nesting set of dies. The papers are by Maja and I've painted the edges with white gesso.

The pretty die down the left hand side has been cut with a LDRS Victorian Border die. The butterflies and french lilies on the right hand side are Joy Craft dies.

The beautiful flowers, lace, ribbon, pearl string, pearl and diamante flower embellishment and pearl trim are from the Ribbon Girl.

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Dress and Shoes: Gathered Twigs, Black Soot

That's all from me today.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you for popping in.

Sending Wishes

Hi everyone,

I hope you enjoyed the extended weekend if you are in the U.K. Crikey it was glorious weather, if a little too hot for me. It was a fairly relaxing weekend. Phil and I went on a 7.5 mile bike ride this morning, but that was early before it became too hot. The rest of time I was either in my craft room or sat in the shade doing some crocheting.

I am popping in to share another Polkadoodles card, I am really enjoying colouring up these cute images. This gorgeous stamp is called 'Sending Wishes'.

I painted the image with DI reinkers and wanted the colour to be quite soft.

The flowers in the two corners, the postcard and the postage stamps are from a Stempelglede 'Postcard from Paris' set of stamps. Tucked underneath the postage card is a Fantasy doily die cut. The birch leaves are also cut from a Fantasy die.

The small pink envelope has been cut from a Woodware punch.

The lace, silver butterfly and pearl trim are from the Ribbon Girl. The pink organza ribbon is from my stash, but the RG have lots of beautiful ribbons to choose from.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Dress, Shoes and Bows: Victorian Velvet
Envelope: Hickory Smoke, Black Soot

That's all from me today.

Thank you for popping in.

This little sweetie is called 'Winnie Fairy Sparkle' and I have coloured her with distress reinkers. I added a small amount of frantage around the outside of the image and some stardust stickles to her wand.

You can just about make out some cheesecloth which I've placed underneath the image.

I've cut a few new dies which I also bought at Ally Pally.On the left hand side is a LDRS crown glory border die. The corner die comes in a pack of four by Robert Addams and the die peeping out underneath the flowers on the right hand side is a Fantasy die. The butterfly is an old  Joy Crafts die.

Midway post - Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well. What fabulous weather we had yesterday, I managed to spend a bit of time tidying up the garden.  We are still decorating, but I think it will be finished by the end of next week.

Today I am joining in with the mid-way post at Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia.

Our current challenge is .....

Spring Flowers

On this card, the roses are my spring flowers, you would think they are a summer flower, but you do get species that bloom in spring.

This Maggie is another of my older stamps and she is called 'Sneaky Tilda'. 

I stamped her onto a some Artistico extra white watercolour card and cut her with a Spellbinder oval die. Once she was coloured with distress reinkers, I mounted her onto a Joy Crafts die cut and added some pearl string.

The die cuts on the left and right hand side of the card are by Joy Crafts and Little Darlings

I made the butterfly out of air dry clay and a mould and added some pearl trim along the centre.

The flowers, lace, ribbon bow and bronze butterfly charm are from my crafty stash.

The furry bon bon (just above the pink and brown roses on the left hand side of the card) is from Noor Design U.K (Crafteezee).
