Live & Love Crafts - Challenge #23 - Inspiration Collage

Morning everyone!

Are you ready for a brand new LLC Challenge?

I am..

Here's my creation..

What's the theme this month you're asking?

We have this fantastic Inspiration Collage for you..

I knew immediately which elements from the photos I wanted onmy creation..

The tulle, the birdcage and tons of flowers..

And of course I was more than excited to make something pink.. Can you imagine? LOL!

I've finally found some larger bags..

I love the mini bags but you can't really put much into them, right?

This one is a real bag.. ;)

The papers are of course from Maja Design..

Some from the Vintage Summer Basics and some from the Vintage Frost Basics Collection..

The border was made using a Martha Stewart punch..

And here's the birdcage I was talking about..

I've added some Shabby White Frantage to it and of course some Shabby Seam Binding and a charm..

I really love this butterfly..

The doily and ribbon I used for the handles are from my stash..

Here's some more gorgeousness..

The stunning Lace ''Reinette'' and the Clay Heart..

As you can see I've distressed all the paper edges.. And they are machine sewn too..

There's also some Gesso here and there..

The postmarks are from Kort & Godt and Magnolia..

The fantastic Tulle Pleat Trim is also from the LLC store and you can find all the flowers there too..

The majority is from WOC, but there are some gorgeous flowers from Kort & Godt too..

And I think the flower sprays are always a great addition..

Hope you can see that there's a little bit of cheesecloth too..

This is Tilda With Leo The Lion from the Animals Of The Year Collection 2014..

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

Let me know if you want the full list of colours..

Here you can see the Stickles I added to the bow and parts of her dress..

And there's some Frantage around the image too..

Well.. I really hope you like it..

You can find this and many other creations listed in my Etsy shop HERE..

And don't forget to join us!

You don't want to miss the chance to win a great prize, right?

Take care!

Hugs, Tina

Tilda's Town Challenge #88 - Anything Goes

Hi guys!

How are you?

It's been a while since I last posted a project for Tilda's Town but I'm back with a little something..

Noooo... It's not a card..

We have an Anything Goes theme this week and I took the opportunity to make one of those little gift boxes I love so much..

This is Ribbon Dance Tilda, one of the stamps from the beautiful Magnolia Little Circus Moscow Collection 2013..

I make these boxes out of Papermania Textured paper and some Joy!Crafts kraft paper..

The DP's are from Maja Design.. This time from a Limited Edition Collection called Sofiero..

Some parts of the box are decorated with Chunky White Frantage..

I've used some Vintage Seam Binding all around the box.. You can't see it on this pic but you'll get an idea when you get to the end of the post..

I just can't stop using those gorgeous heart shaped doilies..

And this butterfly is one of my favourite metal charms..

It has some half pearls and gesso on..

There's some lace under there too.. 

I've used a Martha Stewart punch to decorate the lid and the stripe of paper in this pic..

The image was cut out with a Spellbinders Circle and I've used a matching Scalloped Circle underneath..

All the paper edges are distressed and sewn..

And there are lots of cheesecloth around..

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I Am Roses and Kort & Godt..

All of them are covered with a small ammount of gesso..

The pin is from the Hobby House pin wheel..

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..

List of colours:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks: Tattered Rose

Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain..

Dress: Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Ribbon: Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Flower: Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

I've added some Shabby White Frantage around her and some Stickles on the flower and parts of her dress..
