TILDA WITH FLOWER

Hi all, over the last few weeks I have been very blessed and won some challenges, my gift from the 'Come and Get It Challenge' was a gift voucher from Stamp and Create I ordered a couple of Magnolia stamps and this is one of them, I received them on Friday and this one I stamped for the first time yesterday, oh I do love my Magnolia stamps, I am going to try and use them as much as possible, I have so many that have not seen the light of day, this little girl has been one of the lucky ones, lol.

I used Momento Tuxedo ink then coloured her with a mixture of Graph It Markers and Copics, I used a square Spellbinders frame in black to show her up then added pink card candy and pink flower pearls, I also added some cream Viva Decor pearl drops, pink gems, pink organza ribbon and bow, pink buttons, pink flower, pink sentiment and some punched butterflies in black with cream Viva Decor pearl drops.

My second Christmas card is based on the Christmas Card Club theme that has been chosen by Sue and is the 12 days of Christmas, my card features the first 3.  I have used an 8x8 red scalloped base card the blue card, images and sentiment are all Hunkydory, I used gold mirri card for the matting.  I added some white ribbon and bows to the tags then added some buttons and punched snowflakes

THANKS A BUNCH

Hi all, before I get onto my post I really want to thank everyone who sent me birthday wishes for Tuesday and to my friends who sent me cards, I was awed by their beauty, you all made the day that bit special for me.

With that in mind I decided to make a 'Thank You' card dedicated to you all.

I have been trying to have a big clear out of all my craft stuff and found some really old printouts from CDs that I must have done some years ago, talk about hoarding, lol, the bp and flowers are from a Sharon Duncan CD I liked the colours and decided to cut out all the flowers and use the paper.

I have used gold mirri card for mounting both paper and the flower on, I used green card for mounting the image which is a digi stamp from La La Land coloured with Copics, the sentiment actually comes with the image so I used MCS to put it at the side, I used Viva Decor for the pearls centres and on the flowers in the wheelbarrow. 

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

I stamped the main body of the box with flower stamps from a set that I bought from Waltzingmouse stamps a long time ago, I used TH distress ink.  I used pink linen effect card around the edge of the top of the box and punched it with an EK Success border punch, I used the same pink card for the scalloped die cut circles around the four sides.

I have paper pieced her, I can remember not too far back this technique scared me but I do like to use it now and again, I am very pleased with how this one came out.  I coloured her skin and hair with copics.  The papers are Back to Basics I added a few flower gems.
