Goodbye LLC

Hi everyone!
Did you miss me??

This is a very sad day for me..

I hate goodbyes but it's time for me to leave the amazing LLC team..

As you might already know these past few months have been pretty tough for me..

My health is slowly improving but I'm frequently too tired to sit there and colour, cut, glue etc..
But I'll be back.. Top speed.. Very, very soon..
I promise.. ;)

Let's move on..

Here's my last project for the Live & Love Crafts blog..

I used my GoKreate dies for the card's shape..

And I really wanted to show you these gorgeous new Maja Design papers..

They are so incredibly beautiful, aren't they?

The flowers on this card are from WOC and Kort&Godt and I love them to bits..

And there are some berries and flower sprays too..
The tag is a Magnolia die and I added a little bit of white Shabby Seam Binding on it..

Here's one of the super cute Clay Hearts and the lovely Maya Road Love Heart Clip..

There are lots and lots of pearls all over the place..
And there's a doily under there too..

Of course I had to use some beautiful Lace ''Reinette'' and a charm.. 

My beloved Butterfly that I decorated with some rhinestones and a bit of gesso..
The Ornated Circle under the image is from Marianne Design..

Here you can see some more stunning flowers and some cheesecloth sneaking under those..

All the paper edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and some Walnut Stain Distress Ink..
I cut the image out with a Spellbinders Circle..
The postmarks are from Magnolia and Kort & Godt..

The image is coloured with Distress Inks..

The white dots around it are made with Frantage..
I've added some Stickles on their bows..

Well..
I just want you to know that I've enjoyed every second on this amazing team and it's been a pleasure to work with Sandy and all the other ladies!

I promise it won't be long till I post again.. ;)

Have a great Eve everyone!!

And of course.. Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Tina

Live & Love Crafts - Challenge #20 - Love N' Lace

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge over at Live & Love Crafts..

 For this month's challenge we have a more traditional theme...perfect for Valentine's... it's Love!

But there's a little twist to it...

One of the most beloved embellishments by vintage crafters is Lace, so we'd like to see some of that as well on your creation!

Here's some Love N' Lace inspiration from the me:

For this card I've used Tilda Spreads Love from the Magnolia You Are So Special Collection 2011..

One thing I've noticed is how grown up she looks.. Doesn't she?

The card's shape was made using a GoKreate die..

The papers are from the Maja Design Vintage Autumn Basics Collection..

I love layers and I've added a doily on the upper half of the card..

There are pearls all over the place and some Shaby White Frantage around the image..

The Bloomy Tags are a Magnolia Doohickey..

I've added some Gesso and Shabby Seam Binding on them..

The gorgeous clay heart is one of my fave embellishments..

These gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I Am Roses and some were a part of a prize I won some time ago..

Here you can also see the Bark Heart with some cheesecloth on..

A small part of a Marianne Design die can be spotted here also..

And finally a better pic of the gorgeous laces I've used for this one..

The frame was made using a mold bought on Etsy and some Fimo Air..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

HERE's a video if you wanna see how I do that..

I use both the ink pads and the reinkers..
