Tilda with Flower

Hi there

Hope you are enjoying this Saturday afternoon or should I say evening.  Doesn't the time fly when you are crafting. 

For today's card I decided to ink up 'Tilda with Daisy' which I coloured with Copics and a touch of pencil. The trim on her dress was given the glitter treatment.

The paper is Vintage Rose Bouquet Crackle by Making Memories. I just love this paper and wish I had bought two sheets - what's the betting that you can't get it now as I have had it for while. 

The flowers (roses, carnation and aster daisy) and small silver filigree corner are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The pearls are from Mei Flower.   

I would like to enter the card into the following challenges:

Wild Orchrid Crafts : Week 51 - Bingo (Lilac, Glitter (on trim of dress and rose) and Pearls)
Simon Says Stamp : Add Crowns and/or Gems (I added lots of pearl gems).

That's it from me.  Tomorrow I'm off to Doncaster for the Stamp Magic Show.

Thank you for all your comments - they are very much appreciated. 

Birthday Wishes

Good evening, 

Happy Easter - hope you have had a good Easter Sunday and you haven't overdone the chocolate (although I don't think you can ever have too much chocolate!!).  I've had a good day as my son returned from his school ski trip - oh how I have missed him even though he has only been gone a week.  The house just seemed too quiet without him - if you know what I mean.

Anyway onto today's card which features Christmas Tilda.  No I haven't decided to start making Christmas cards just yet, but perhaps I should judging by how quickly this year seems to be going - can't believe it's Easter already.  I thought it would be a shame just to keep this image for Christmas as it could be used for other occasions - eg. birthdays. 

The image has been coloured using copic pens and layed onto papers from the Sweet Owl collection by Frist Edition.  The small flower arrangement contains Cherry Blossom, Aster Daisy, Sweetheart Blossoms and 4mm rosebuds all available from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

• Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes (with the optional extra of having a monotone theme, excluding hair and skin)
• Just Magnolia and hAnglar & sTanglar Challenge Blog - Week 151 Anything Goes

Hope you enjoy what's left of this Easter Sunday. 

Tilda with Balloon

Good morning

For today’s card I have attempted a Stepper Card.  The image is Tilda with Balloon from the Magnolia You Are So Special collection.  I’ve used Copic pens to colour her (Skin – E11, 00, 000, 0000; Hair – E29, 25, 23, 50; Dress – R81, RV000, 0000; Balloon – B01, B00, 000, 0000).  Glossy Accents has been added to the Balloon and the frill on the dress, together with her socks, has been glittered.

The paper is a digi kit from Nitwits Collections - Little Mittens.  The sentiment is a rub-on transfer which has been put onto an oval shape cut from a nestie.  Embellishments include ribbon from the blue-mini ribbon kit from the Ribbon Girl and the flowers are Sweetheart Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

• The Ribbon Girl – Colour Challenge No 15 : Blue and Pink
• Papertake Weekly Challenge – Happy Highlights (highlighted the Balloon with Glossy Accents and Socks/Frill on dress with Glitter)

Have a great weekend.
