My sentiment tag hiding behind the image, in a little vellum envelope, is also Magnolia. Threaded with seam binding and I have attached a little ski equipment charm with hemp twine.

Autumn Themed Gardening Tilda Card

 

Good Afternoon,

 

Here is my Autumn Themed Card using gardening Tilda.

 

I have coloured her with copics and added some stunning Prima roses and shaded a lot of the items in a mix of autumn colours with my DI's & Liquid pigment chalk.

 

 

Isnt this natural hessian Ribbon just divine!

 I thought that she would make a really lovely autumn themed card, as I am currently in the process of tidying up my garden for Autumn. I grow lots of fruit and veg throughout the summer and as any gardener knows, there is a lot of work to be done in Autumn.

A quick reminder, that the theme of our challenge at

Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia challenge  is flowers this month, please pop along to join in the challenge & you could win a prize from the Ribbon Girl!

 

 

 

You may be able to just make out a pumpkin shaped seed pod on the left of the picture, in amongst the flowers. There is also one on the top right hand side!

Thank you for stopping by today.

Have a great day!

New Challenge begins today at Marvelous Magnolia!!!

 

Good Afternoon Everyone

 

The brand new challenge begins today at Marvelous Magnolia

and the easy theme is

Your Favourite Stamp, I am using Tilda with Snowy the snowman.

 

The amazing sponsor is Magnolia and you will receive a fabulous stamp direct from them to add to your collection!!

 

Here is my card

 

 

Tilda is coloured with copics, I have used Maja paper and die cut lots of  snowflakes and glittered them.

 

 

I have stamped some tiny snowflakes around Tilda and added some powdered flocking to her fluffy hat!

I also made the little candy cane from fimo, it looks a bit marbled, this is because I had to mix Magenta fimo with white to make a lighter pink.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and have a lovely week!

Christmas Tilda with Star Diedam card

Hello Everyone

 

 

This is my first Christmas card of this year and I thought that this little lovely would be perfect for Christmas cards when I received her around valentines day.

 

 

So here she is Tilda with Star Diedam, coloured with copics and I have added some white frantage for snow.
Unfortunately the image is lighter, than it actually is, but I just couldn't manage a clear photo - not for lack of trying he he!

 

 

 

I have used Pion Design papers, the gorgeous lace, real cinnamon sticks, tied with tonal seam binding and tiny pine cone can all be found here. The sentiment is Magnolia too and the multi tonal leaves are just divine.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and have a great week!

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!
