Little Moscow Collection Ribbon Dance Tilda

Hello Again Everyone,

Well, another day, another card!!! I am certainly putting my time off to good use! (Probably should do some housework too hee hee!)

But for now, I have used this cute Little Moscow "Ribbon Dance" Tilda, for my card.

I inked her with Sepia archival ink, as I am not too keen on stamping in black, I prefer to used this one or my Tuxedo mocha ink, as they are closer to actual skin colours and just look that little bit better.

I have coloured her with prisma pencils, using my favourite LOS Method and I have used promarkers for her skin and hair.

I decided to go with lots of larger roses this time, instead of using Kort & Godt rolled Roses, as I used them alot over Christmas, the roses are from the Ribbon Girl, I had a bit of a splurge and bought lots of roses in different colours, I used Lilac and White on my last girlie card.

The beautiful deep lace is from Live and Love Crafts as are the cream sprigs, shabby seam binding and clay heart. I've also used a cherry blossom from the Hobby House and a large daisy from my own goodies.

Again, I am using my Tim Holtz Ideology wording, I love the selection and they are small enough to use on just about anything!!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope that you like my card.

Take Care

A Card For Dad

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are all enjoying the festive period with your families.

Yesterday we had a family party for my pops, there were 28 people gathered for his 64th birthday, but he swears he is 63 hee hee!!!

I made this little soldier based card for him and as we are English I added lots of English embellishments to the card too! He loves hand made cards and keeps each one that he receives from his family. Two of my little nieces make card too, ages 5 & 11 and he keeps every single one!!!

So here is my card...

I also used the Castle background from the Tilda prince and Princesses Range.

I didn't have any suitable backing papers for the base layer, so I printed a union jack onto decoupage paper and then sanded it and run my gold paint pen around the edge. The top layer is nautical magnolia paper, I liked it as it sort of suited the design, if not the theme hee hee!

The red taffeta ribbon is from the ribbon girl and I managed to find the beefeater guards ribbon on ebay. All the other little embellies are from my own stash off goodies and I made a removable tag, from poppy type paper ...

Anyway, my pops had a wonderful day and so did all of our family.

Good luck and all the best, to you and yours in 2014.

Little Moscow Collection Card - Tilda In Evening Dress

Good morning all,

Here is my first card using one of the little moscow collection stamps, this one is Tilda in evening dress, a very adult looking stamp for Tildas!!!!

I would like to ask you all a question, why is it, when I use purple papers, they nearly always looks blue in the picture? It throws the whole card off balance!

I would welcome some advice.

So please bear in mind that the paper is lilac not blue as it looks.

Anyway, the paper is Maja and my own LILAC (hee hee) backing papers. The Florals are all from the Ribbon Girl, not sure where I bought the leaves.

The beautiful lace is from Live and Love Crafts, where you can also find the beautiful flowers on a table maja design papers. 

I made a little lilac pearl pin and added a few other embellishments from both of the above on line stores.

For a change I coloured her with copics, as I prefer to use prisma pencils, but I thought I would have a little change!

My new favourite thing, has to be the Tim Holtz, Ideology words, you will probably see them alot on my cards now hee hee!

Thanks for stopping bye and dont forget to enter our Fashionista challenge, the details are in the below post!

Have a great weekend

Take Care

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I am a little late with this post

Fashionista magnolia and more challenge starts again today.

We would love you to come over and join in the fun.

The theme this time around is simple.... Winter With Snowflakes, we are looking foward to seeing your beautiful interpretations for this theme.

We have three wonderful sponosors this week, Live & Love Craft, The Ribbon Girl and Crimson Cloud!

So there you have it, you have three chances to win a prize from three wonderful craft stores!!!

Here is my card

I haven't had chance to use The Day Before Christmas "Noel Tilda" this season, but I just couldn't resist using her in our last Christmas Challenge for the year!

I just love easel and half easel cards, I think that they have so much scope for design. 
I found theses little letter Charms in my goodies and strung them together and spelled out NOEL, to match the image! I also used Unique's Wooden "Let it Snow" wording too!

Both papers are Magnolia in pink and grey tones an I have glittered a large snowflake for the edge of the design.

All flowers are the Ribbon Girl and the little fir cone is from Live and Love Crafts!!!!

All Christmas Carded Out!!!

Hello Everyone,

I have just popped on to show you my baby cards!!!

I felt like I wanted to make something other than Christmas themed cards.

So I have been making these two over the last couple of days!

These are kinda an old favourite of mine, I usually make a mint or lemon one too, but just make the two this time.

And here they are individually.

Both Cute Cherubs were stamped onto Langtons Cold Pressed Card and coloured With DI.

I had a thought about the blue one after I had made it, I should have tied the silver dummy charm through the blue baby pin, not stuck it behind, but hey ho never mind!

Anyway the sweet charms are from ebay and the gingham ribbons are from the Ribbon Girl, as are the sweeetheart blossoms!

The cute little Tim Holtz card board words are from Live and love crafts!
I bought these beautiful swirley frames on ebay ages ago, at
least a year or so ago, but I do think that they are very pretty when distressed. The images are fab for 1st birthday, new baby cards, they are so adorable!

I hope that you like my cards for today.

Dont forget that Fashionista Magnolia and More Challenge Goes Live tomorrow Monday 9th December, we would love you to pop over and join in the fun & maybe win a prize, I will be back in the morning with more information! (link at the top of my sidebar).

Take care
