Vintage Tilda

Hi Everyone,
Today I have a card using the Sketch from Just Magnolia & Hanglar Stanglar Challenge Blog. My Tilda with Balloon was coloured with copic’s after watching the fabulously talented Suzanne Dean video on you tube, if you havn’t seen Suzanne before check her out  HERE . I have a very long way to go, but I was pleased with my first attempt at colouring with copic’s  to look like Distress Inks.
I hope you can see the sketch in my design, I got a little lost along the way I think, I blame the cards, sometimes they take control LOL.

Over at Cute Card Thursday the Challenge is No Text, and that is harder than you think, but at least with this Tilda with Balloon you know she is celebrating something.

Thinking of Chocolate

Hi Everyone,
Well not long now until the Easter Bunny comes so I thought I would make this easel card for my Mum. I used this cute Tilda with eggs in her apron from Magnolia, and some little chicks & sentiment from Crafty Secrets stamps all coloured with Copic’s  (scroll down). The DP is Kaisercraft Chanteuse Collection. Lots of nesties circles small, Fleur De Lis Pendant and Label 4, for the chickens. Memento Rose bud and New sprout for sponging.

Blue Clematis

Hi Everyone,
Today I have created a card for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #113 which is hosted by Dee and she would like to see Flowers. I thought I would use one of my favourites from Flourishes Clematis and Butterflies this set is gorgeous, I coloured with copic’s, the flowers B91 & B95, the leaves are W1 & YG93 I tried something a little different because I didn’t want a lot of green, I was very happy with the result. I used Pebbles Chalk around the image and butterfly, I havn’t used these very much but I wanted a softer look to match the beautiful DP from Prima – Botanical. I coloured the twill ribbon with B95 to match my flowers, the lace is from my stash and the pearls are from Kaiser. The sentiment is computer generated.

I hope you like my creation.

Test Page

Hi Everyone, I hope you are having a crafty sort of day. I am testing a new program called Windows Live Writer I have been having a bit of trouble getting my photo’s and words to sit just where I want them, so after doing a little research I found this which seems to be more like word, and I am a little more comfortable with this, (I think ) we will see how it goes.
I thought I would show you a card that I made a little while ago, just for the fun of it.

The Crocus is from Flourishes Stamps
Hugs to all  

Make a Wish

Hi Everyone,
Well today I have Miss Tilda from the Fairytale Collection - Simsalabim Tilda. The DP is from Kaisercraft and is called Magic Happens, I actually used the die cut page for those gorgeous silver flourishes, the plain silver paper is from a $2 shop. The cardstock is Gina K - Ocean Mist and the Embossing folder is from Craft Concepts -Budding vine, I sponged this with Memento - Grape Jelly and I used a Versa cube Turquoise around Tilda and sentiment which was computer generated. The ribbon, buckle and flowers are all from my ever growing stash. The silver & pearl brads were a free gift from Anna's Craft Cupboard online store.

I am trying to give more details to my posts, but it ends up very long, I hope I am not boring you too much.
When I first saw the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #90 I thought "Heavy Metal" I didn't think I could do it. But it just goes to show you, give it a go and you may surprise yourself like I did he he he ......
I also have a few photos for this one, so if I havn't lost you already scroll down...

Happy Easter

Hi Everyone,

Today I have some Easter cards I have been working on, I hadn't made Easter cards before and they were a lot of fun to make, the soft pastel colours were lovely to work with. On all these I used Crafty Secrets clear art stamps, very vintage images I think. I also used Prima - Jack & Jill Celebrate 6x6 paper pad. So here we go

Ok I am showing the fronts and the inside fronts , if that makes any sense hahaha!
I hope you like them

PS - I seemed to have a bit of trouble with this post tonight, sorry if it's abit wishy washy haha

Hi Everyone

I hope you all like it as much as I do, I am still learning lots about blogging and it is always great to learn something new. Ok I better stop blogging for now and get creating more cards. Hugs to all
