Tilda with Bow Knot

Good morning everyone,

I hope you have had a lovely week, I am just pleased it is almost the weekend,  work has been so manic and it has not been one of the best weeks. 

I am just popping in to share a card I made for fun using Tilda with Bow Knot. As you may have guessed I have got the easel card bug again. 

She is coloured using a mixture of distress inks and markers, I really love the green and pink colour palette. The pretty papers are by Trimcraft and the pad is called 'The Promise'.  All the dies are from Noor Design U.K.


The apple, ribbon, beautiful pink diamante heart, lace, peal string and flowers are from the Ribbon Girl.

Well that's it from me today, I will be back on Sunday.

Thank you for popping in.

Take care.

Hugs

Selfie Tilda - New Challenge at LHOSM

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. My hubby is away this weekend, so I am having a crafty one! 

I am just popping in as we have a new challenge at Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia today. We have a lovely easy challenge this time which is 'Flowers', this can be paper flowers, die cuts flowers or simply flowers on the paper .

The shape of the card has been made using a Go Kreate die. The papers are by GCD Studios and called 'Ella Blue' and the edges have been painted with Dutch Doobadoo structure paste.  I have coloured up the beautiful Selfie Tilda and used distress inks to colour her. She has been stamped  onto a spellbinders die, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. Right at the top of the card is Noor Design Circle die which I have sprinkled with Blue Frantage. The butterflies are also a Noor Design die which I have cut using the papers from an old paper pad and added some pearl string in the centre. 



The butterfly I made with a silicone mould by Katy Sue Designs and air dry clay. The tag is also from Noor Design U.K. and the flowers, ribbon and lace are from my stash.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Bikini: Broken China, Tumbled Glass
Phone: Gathered Twigs

Our sponsor for this challenge is Live and Love Crafts.

I would just like to thank you all for all the lovely comments you leave me, I read each and everyone and it makes my day!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Thank you for popping in.

Tilda with Heartphone - New challenge Paradise of Stamps

Good morning everyone,

I hope you have had a good week, it's been a busy one for me and oh my gosh hasn't it been wet and windy?

This morning I am sharing my DT reminder card for the Paradise of Stamps. Our challenge this time is 'Animal'

I was a little bit stuck with this one as I don't own many animal stamps, but I did come across the Cute Magnolia Dog so I decided to mask it with Tilda with Heartphone. I have used a mixture of DI markers and reinkers to colour the scene.

The beautiful 8 point dies are by Noor design and the papers are by Maja. The little Doily Flower die (bottom right) are quite an old Magnolia Doohickey die, I've added some cheesecloth to the centre and finished it off with a paper flower edged with Dutch Doobadoo Structure paste. 


I came across a cute dog charm in my stash which I've placed just below the pearl flower in the centre of the bow. The ribbon, lace and flowers are from my stash. I made the butterfly using a silicone mould and Air Dry Clay.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Top: Dusty Concord
Trousers: Pumice Stone
Shoes: Gathered Twigs
Phone: Aged Mahogany, Spun Sugar
Dog: Pumice Stone, Black

The winner of this challenge will win a GDT spot.

Well that's it from me today.

Have a lovely weekend.

Tilda with Big Big Rose - New challenge at Marvelous Magnolia

Hi everyone,

I hope you are having a wonderful Bank Holiday Monday if you are in the U.K. We have done some walking and managed almost 6 miles on Saturday. Yesterday we  went to George and Katie's for dinner. I have made the template for the wedding invites, I just want to say a big thank you to my crafting friend Judy who helped me with the design. They both loved it so it's just a case of ordering everything now.  I think I am going to be a busy bee!

Anyway enough rambling because we have a new challenge at Marvelous Magnolia  today and this time round our theme is 'Vintage'.

I have coloured the gorgeous Tilda with Big Big Rose with a mixture of DI markers and reinkers and sprinkled some frantage around the outside of the image. I have also added some Ivory pearl string around the outside, underneath the image I've placed some cheesecloth. It doesn't show very well in the photo, but on the top left hand side just above the bow is the new Noor Design Viewmaster die which has been sprinkled with frantage and is gorgeous! The die on the right is a Magnolia Doohickey Wrapped So Lovely die and underneath that is a paper doily. The papers are by Maja. The beautiful lace, cheesecloth and ivory pearl string is from the Ribbon Girl.    The flowers, 3 row pearl string, charm and cameo are from my stash.


The tag on the base of the card is Noor Design tag.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Dress: Gathered Twigs, Aged Mahogany
Rose & Shoe: Aged Mahogany, Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters

Our love sponsor for this challenge is Stamp and Create.

We have some very talented new teamies joining us who have made some beautiful creations, so if you get a chance pop over and  leave them some love.

Well that's it from me today, enjoy what is left of your day.

Thank for your popping in.
