I love these patterned Prima Roses, they are divine!

 

The scrapiniec chip board sentiment is frantaged. The two straws are bound together with 2 types of natural hemp twine.

 

Seashells, chip board and beach hut ribbon.

Tilda Picking Olives

 

Afternoon Everyone.

 

The weather is lovely here in the UK at the moment, so nice to see some sunshine for a change he he!

 

I have been practicing colouring with my distress inks, here is a card that I have coloured.

 

I am quite partial to purple and green and as a colour combo they are quite striking.

 

I have used Maja Design plum papers, as these are similar in colour and shape to the olives in my picture. The frame is cut from designer paper for the top layer and a second layer of deep plum coloured card, I offset them a little, so that the plumb colour shows through a little.

The large purple roses and seam binding are all hand dyed and I created a little pearl pin to match!

The gorgeous ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl and I've used a wooden swirl from Craft heaven shop and woodchip Happy Birthday from Unique Crafts.

Dancing Italian Tilda

 

Good Aternoon,

 

Here is a card that I made in pink for a change. I wouldn't consider my self a a person who favours blue, as I am quite girly.

But I've made a few blue cards lately, especially as our theme at LHOSM is something blue, so here is a pink card for a bit of a change!

 



I have used dancing Italian Tilda and coloured her with distress inks and added a touch of frantage.

 

 

I love this chipboard sentiment that I have frantaged too, the gorgeous papers are from the new 'Crafts and You' range, that the Ribbon Girl now stock and the butterflies and magnolia tag, are cut from the same paper.

 

Thank you for stopping by today.

Pine apple and beach themed card

 

 

Good morning everyone,

 

 

I am here with a beach themed card that I made for fun! I love making beach themed cards, I think as I don't get to make them on a regular basis.

 

 

Coloured With Copics, I Used Spring basics papers and all the die cuts are Magnolia doohickeys, except my Joy Craft butterfly border..

The two little sentiments are just perfect for this beach themed card.



I hand dyed my lace and seam binding  with DI's, to add a lighter touch of colour to my card. I also added an ALOHA charm to the seam binding and little sea shells mixed in with my gorgeous WOC florals. 

 



 

Thank you for stopping by today, have a lovely day!

Mid Way Post for Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia Challenge

 

Good Afternoon Everyone

 

This is the midway post for Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia.

 

Our super easy theme is add blue, this can be any kind of blue, including any blue embellishment, ribbon, flowers, die cuts, buttons, blue papers or simply add a little or a lot of blue (like me) in your colouring.

 

We have two fabulous sponsors for this challenge who a know, are firm favourites of everyone.

 

The Ribbon Girl and

Magnolia Liscious!

 

Here is my card...

 



I used my Dutch doobadoo template, to create the card and all three layers of hand cut papers. The papers are a mix of Maja and Pion design papers.

I have coloured celebration Tilda with copics, added a few pearl drops on the champagne bubbles and stamped one of my sentiments, which I think is a nice co ordinating one and used my Joy Craft torn page die on the edge.

 



 

The film wheels and envelopes, are both Magnolia and I have used designer papers to create them. I just love the little chipboard swirl underneath the image.

 

I also created a little moon pearl decorative pin and the stunning flowers are WOC from a variety of on line stores.

 

 

We cant wait to see your fabulous creations and look forward to seeing you over at our challenge!

Post Card from Paris

 

Hiya Everyone

 

My daughter is off to Paris with her university at the end of the week and I said not to forget to send us a post card. It got me thinking, does anyone actually do that any more?

 

I used to get writers cramp, writing to everyone when I was younger, but now with modern technology, I don't think anyone does that anymore.

 

Therefore I dedicate this card, to the long lost tradition of writing post cards he he!

 

 

I coloured both Tildas from the we did it collection, with copics. I used my post card stamp at the top and added a couple of post marks.

The cute paper clip is from Craft Heaven shop and so are the chipboard circles peeking out at the corners of the image.



 

I made my own hand made pin and added a selection of flowers and berries from a variety of craft shops. The lovely pearls are from my friend Jules, who very kindly sent them to me.

 

Its almost the weekend, have a good one.

Dancing Queen Tilda Card

Good Morning Everyone

I have coloured up this gorgeous image of Dancing Queen Tilda. From the new collection. 

I have coloured her up with distress inks for a change and went for a bit of a vintage look with the card. 

Its quite different style for me and I am pleased with how it turned out, as I quite often struggle when trying to change my style. 

I made my own matching moon pearls pin (top left) and of my paper elements are hand cut from DPs, except the two tickets.

The gorgeous ribbon is my absolute favourite ribbon of all. I have it in 3 colours and its actually on sale and available at the Ribbon Girl!

That's all from me today, have a great day!
