Hi all today I have a card to show you that I have made for the following challenges:

Saturday Challenge - Dust Off Your Stash

Well I certainly dusted off my stash with this one, I actually got one of my Sarah Kaye stamps out to ink up, this range of stamps was one of the first I ever bought when I started out in the the land of blog. They were my favourites and I used them lots, then...nothing, they have been sat waiting patiently in my folder for the day that they would see sunlight again. I have seen my blogging buddy VICKY use them and she has encouraged me to get mine out and ink them up, thank you Vicky for the encouragement

I did get two out but I haven't finished the second one yet, I stamped the image in SU Choc Chip ink then used a Nestie to die cut her, I knew she would not fit so I had stamped a second image, coloured her with Copics cut her out by hand then mounted her onto the first. The base bp is Basic Grey, the blue paper is from Bearlymine, I added a ribbon, flowers and sentiment.

I want to apologise for not visiting yesterday but after I finished colouring my hands were in rather a lot of pain and very swollen, they still are but not as bad as yesterday, I suppose that is old age creeping up on me fast, lol.

I will see you later so take care and I hope you like my card.

Mini Tilda's New Home

Hi all today I have this card to show you which I hope you will like.

I have used a Mini Tilda, I bought two and this is one of them, I didn't think I would be able to colour her as I normally would due to her wee size but I am so pleased with the finished card.

For my card I have used SU textured card and SU papers, I added some grosgrain ribbon, gems and pearls. Tilda I coloured with Copics I did some masking so that I could get her to sit on her new home, the mushroom house is one of the new stamps I bought from Polka Doodles, also coloured with Copics. I had seen the house stamps being demo'd on Create & Craft there is a set of 3 houses with lots of little extras.

I followed the sketch at The Pink Elephant then made it into and easel card which I haven't done for awhile. I punched out a couple of little butterflies and used my Hello Kitty nesting flowers die for the large flower, the sentiment is SU which I stamped with SU Choc Chip ink then punched it out with an SU punch.

This is a close up of Tilda

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

Crafty Sentiments - Flowers

Paper Play Challenge - Show Us Your Style (I love easel cards)

Tulip Fairy

Hi all I hope you are well

I have made a card for several challenges that I will list below.

I have used on of my rubber stamps that I won at PCP a few years ago, I believe she is from Fairie Art Song, I have not used her for quite some time so thought it would make a change to get her inked up, which I did with SU Choc Chip ink. I coloured her with Copics then cut her out with a scalloped Nestie I then mounted her onto a pearlescent pink card also die cut with a slightly larges Nestie. Once i had coloured her I added glitter to her wings and headband.

The papers bought last month they are SU Springtime Vintage, all were mounted onto yellow card. I added some flowers, gems and pearls.

Digital Tuesday Challenge #109

Hi all today we have a new challenge for you the theme is to use

Ribbons and Lace on your projects

Our Sponsor is

Digital Delights

Here is my DT card using one of their beautiful images called Bride and Groom

I have used Bearlymine paper added some butterfly ribbon which is quite soft and just a touch of sparkle, I also added some of my treasured lace. I cut several different sized scalloped circles using a Nestie then embossed them using the Daisy embossing folder, I then die cut two hearts, I used pink card and silver mirri card for the die cutting. I printed out the image twice coloured with promarkers then cut them out and 3d'd them, the sentiment is from LOTV and stamped using Momento ink, finally I made the flower with the same pink ribbon, some white ribbon and added a rose for the centre.

The ribbon is wired so the long bits I had left after making the flower I twirled and added it as a little extra effect.

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

Sugar Creek Hollow - embossing

OSAAT - Embossing.

Top Tip Tuesday - Open

I hope you like my card and come join us this week at

Tilda In Pink Dress

Hi all today I have this card to show you I am entering this one into several challenges which I will list at the end.

I have used one of my new Tilda's and I really enjoyed using her she is a real beauty. I have paper pieced her with a small scrap of paper that I had in my stash but have no name for it, I think it may be Cuddly Bubbly digi paper but I am not really sure, I just thought it would make the perfect colour and design for Tilda.

I have paper pieced the bow on her hat, her wellies and dress.

I then coloured her with Copics. The papers are Basic grey Bittersweet, I have followed a sketch from Sketch'n'Stash, the butterfly and bird I stamped with SU Melon Mambo ink then used the co-ordinating SU punches to punch them out. I added some flowers, charm and brads, I also used some grass and flower stamps for Tilda to stand on, they are only little wee stamps from a set that I bought from Polka Doodles.
