Tilda's Town Challenge #129 - Anything Goes

Hey guys!

I've been neglecting my Edwins for too long..

But you know what? Male cards are really not my thing..

A good friend of mine asked me to make a card for a gentleman who's celebrating his 60th Birthday..

She said: "..and no lace and no flowers!!!"..

Are you kidding me??

How am I gonna do that? LOL!

I had no choice.. 

Here's my card with Edwin With Derbyhat from the Little London Collection 2013..

I've decided to use this card for Tilda's Town new challenge Anything Goes..

Here are some more details..

The papers are from Pion Design and Maja Design..

My absolute favourites when talking about designer paper..

There's a doily and some cheesecloth.. I couldn't resist..

You can also see a light bulb charm and some corrugated cardboard painted with a bit of Gesso and Picket Fence Crackle Paint..

I really wanted to keep it simle so I used two super cute bronze buttons from my stash and some thin natural cord..

I've also added two brads on the corners of the image..

The postmarks are from Kort & Godt..

The paper edges are distressed and sewn..

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

I've only used a few colours this time:

Pumice Stone, Weathered Wood, Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Black Soot, Antique Linen and Old Paper..

The dots around the image are made with Chunky White Frantage..

So.. This is my creation..

Live & Love Crafts - Shoreline Treasures

Hi everyone, I'm still here..

And I'm ready to show you my creation with the gorgeous papers from Pion Design's Shoreline Treasures collection..

You know blue is not my colour..

But I just got this fantastic stamp and I thought this was the ideal occasion to make a gift for a boy..

I made a bag.. A mini gift bag..

I wanted to keep it pretty simple but then it's always the same story..

With all the yummy things from the LLC store how could I not load it.. Again.. LOL!

Here's a close up of the Bark Heart..

I've added some cheesecloth and the gorgeous Curly Roses from Kort & Godt on top of it..

The Starlight Lace is a Magnolia die..

The doily is from my stash..

I've used the Lace "Estée" and the ''Madame de Pompadour'' in brown..

Then there are some brown Pearl Stamens, the awesome Light Bulb charm and some WOC flowers..

I've used a Spellbinders die to cut the striped paper..

All the paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and some Walnut Stain Distress Ink and 

then machine sewn..

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

I use both, the ink pads and reinkers..

I almost forgot..

This is Edwin With Teo The Dragon from the Animals Of The Year Collection 2014..

The postmarks are from Magnolia too..

I've used some Stickles, Glossy Accents and Liquid Pearls for the final touches..

This and many other creations are for sale in my Etsy store HERE..
