Tilda with Rose

I've managed to use my new Tilda stamp in between finishing my calendar. Speaking of which I've done July and am just finishing June off. I have seen some others have been inspired by mine and had a go at one too, I suppose they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I'm really pleased with how mine has turned out so far. I'm thinking about making a CD case one for my desk at work after this one.


Anyway back to the card. I have used the new Tilda with Rose (I think its called that) stamp from Magnolia, she is soooo sweet! I coloured her with whispers pens and am really pleased at how the colouring turned out, normally I have such trouble colouring in hair but I think this one looks ok. The papers are from Summertime Designs as always! Flowers are Prima Hydrangeas, swirls are from Sizzix Swirly die, sentiment is from bekahs-escape2scrapland and says 'friends are kisses blown to us by angles'.
I may have some exciting news coming up after a very surprising email from a craft magazine, but I'll let you know about that if and when something happens- watch this space!

Funky Fairy's and Juliet have some blog candy up for grabs, as does Pauline and for her challenge you have to make a card to celebrate something so this card is to celebrate friendship.

Friendship card

I had a great afternoon crafting yesterday after a morning shopping with my mum. I managed to make the image/card swap cards I needed to.

I made this card for my image swap partner. The image swaps have now been banned from the docrafts forum, which I am quite sad about as I received some lovely cards and images from fellow members, one of whom 'made' me go and buy some Tilda stamps after sending me some in a swap- I'm blaming you for my recent purchases Laura!!!

I used my new (and first ever) Tilda with sunflower stamp. The papers are from a kit called Homespun by A Tanabe and was downloaded a while ago, unfortunately i cannot find a link for it now. Flowers are prima daisy's, the leaves are from a grass punch by woodware which I got recently and can see I'll be using a lot. The sentiment is from bekahs-escape2scrapland and the ribbon is from chatterbox.

Here are some close ups

Inside I have made a pocket running along the bottom to hold teh stamped images.

I also made a card as a little surprise for a crafty friend from the docrafts forum, so I can't post a picture until she has received it as I don't want to ruin the surprise.

I'm trying to finish the next two months of my calendar but I seem to have lost all inspiration for it at the moment!

Friday Sketchers Tilda

This is my entry for the Friday Sketchers blog challenge, I hope I got all the elements right

I got the Tilda in an image swap from Laura, the papers, buttons, pin and ribbons are from my stash, the fabric flowers are from papermania.

Shabby Chic Tilda

Used the same papers for this card as the previous one, Summertime designs Beautimous Kit, a Tilda image kindly sent to me by Laura, prima hydrangea flowers, doodlebug button, papermania sparkly brads, iridescent glitter glue, butterfly eyelets, chatterbox ribbon. Comments welcome! x

Tristans back from his holiday now so I wont have as much time for crafting, but I do have a good camera to use again!

Look what I got from the lovely Laura (faerielore) from the docrafts forum! Thanks Laura, I don't have any Tilda's so will enjoy using that image especially!

Another card to upload, this time not using any stamps at all, i made a small birthday card using my nestabilities dies and some downloaded paper from http://www.shabbyprincess.com/ (I love that site). I've also used prima flowers and a computer generated sentiment.

I also decorated the inside with papers and primas. And i got my first comment, thanks for dropping by Sue! If anyone else drops by then leave a comment to let me know you were here. X
