Tropical Shadow Box

Hi all, at the moment the sun is shining but there are an awful lot of clouds around as well, don't give much for the chances of a dry sunny day, not that I mind I have plenty to do indoors.

I wanted to do something a little different so I decided to make a shadow box, the card stock is Hunkadory silk, I used one of my fancy Spellbinder dies to cut out the centre, the papers are from the new set recently launched from Bearly Mine designs call Tropical Dreams.

Once I cut the aperture I used the centre for the inside of the box, I added Memory Box Flower Die cut and a 25mm Rose, for the outside of the box I added 2 x 15mm Taupe Roses, a bow, Memory Box Small Dragon Fly dies, Viva Decor around the aperture shape, SU Daisy Die Cut and not one but two of my beloved Tilda's, both of which I have coloured with Promarkers.  Down each side of the box I added some small flowers.

The Roses I bought from Wild Orchid Crafts, the majority of all my Roses are from Wild Orchid.

Here is a side view of the box 

Below is a view of the inside

OOH LA LA CHALLENGE #105

Hi all, it is overcast here in Glos today it has been raining overnight such a change from the wonderful sunshine of yesterday.

Anyway I hope that my DT card for Ooh la La will help brighten your day whether you have sunshine or not.

We had a fantastic amount of entries for our last challenge it was really great to see so many fabulous cards/projects, I hope that our new challenge will inspire you to come and join us again for the next fortnight at

OOH LA LA 

the theme is 

RIBBON AND TWINE.

I have used papers and image called Wisteria Purse, I chose this particular one as I have always loved Wisteria, I think it looks amazing when in bloom.

The design is quite simple I have used blue card for mounting the papers and image on, I added card candy, pearls, wide ribbon and some twine the sentiment is also from Ooh la La Designs.

I do hope that you will come join us at

OOH LA LA CHALLENGES

If you want to see some gorgeous creations and some inspiration then please do visit the other DT there work is amazing.

I will see you later, hugs to all

Vintage Tilda

Hi all, I would like to wish all the Mum's a very happy Mother's Day I hope it is a special one for you all.

I would also like to thank you all for the wonderful comments that I received on my previous post it really boosts my confidence to read all the lovely things you have said.

Today I have a card to show you that I have made using one of the very first Tilda's I bought, I have made this into a Vintage style card as I think the earlier Tilda's do have that vintage look to them.

I have never used this little girl before but she was a joy to colour, I used Copics on this occasion, I have mounted her onto a bronze coloured mirri card, the papers are from one of the new sets launched recently at Bearly Mine designs, called 'Patchwork Party'  I have added wide cream lace, that sort of soft cotton as the ribbon and double bow, the flowers are from Wild Orchid, I added pearl hearts, hat pin, gems, butterfly and stamped sentiment. I have used TH Vintage Photo to give the distressed look around the image and the bow.

I would like to enter this card into the challenge at

Midweek Magnolia's - Monochromatic

TROPICAL DREAMS
