Strawberry, Cream and Chocolate Tilda

I've just discovered 'Moving Along with the Times' challenge blog and their challenge is a sketchie with the added twist starwberries and cream.

So I got to use the Tilda I painted on Saturday and teamed it with some lovely freebie papers from Kathryn Band and Friends. I've used Whisper Archival Ink Pad on the card in Sraw Matt. I've used a cocktail stick as the sign post and decoupaged the strawberries.

Thanks for looking. XXX

DCD#3 Anything but a card.

Susie and Vikki over ar DCD have set - anything but a card as their theme for this week. This got me thinking and I decided to have a go at a crayon box - so after grabbing some K&Co Amy Butler papers and die cut, Laura Ashley letter gems and some PM sticky ribbon this is what I made.

I'm quite pleased with it and I enjoyed it. Thanks Susie and Vikki! XXX

Another lucky win!

I was so excited this morning when I discovered that I was the lucky winner of a £20 voucher at Joanna Sheen having entered The Next Level Challenge Blog. If you haven't been over you must because it is so much more than a challenge blog. There are tutorials and links to free stash and the quality of makes is outstanding and the challenges are great. Now trying to decide what to buy!
It has really cheered me up as I fell on Wednesday and tore ligaments in my right foot and I'm a bit housebound at present.


Have a lovely Tuesday everyone. XXX

Pocket Tilda

The theme over at 'Stampin' for the Weekend' is to make a pocket card - so I thought I would have a go this week. I've done a few things for the first time - made a pocket card in this way, used paper piecing for Tilda's outfit and made my own tags.

I've used PM's Bluberry Hill papers, which are just so dreamy. The stamps are all PM with metallic ink and PM paper lace. Glitz Sparkles has been added to the rose decoupage, flower in Tilda's hair and the actual fabric rose.

I've really enjoyed making this, although it's taken ages. Thanks for looking and any comments are gratefully received. XXX

Let's get Stamping 27th June

Had some time this afternoon and had a go at Katie's lovely sketch. Also purchased downloads from Willow Designs - Grace and Bella! Had great fun with magic dust and magic motifs - although I think I may have overdone it! Loving the Dovecraft papers - Wild Blossom - at the moment too. Used whisper 'Strokes' to colour and added an embellishment from Dovecraft and cut out butterflies from paper to add interest. Thanks for looking. XXX

Allsorts Acetate Challenge #7

Challenge set by Jacky this week over at Allsorts is to use acetate. I've never done this but decided to make a shaker card with glitter and shapes behind the acetate. I purchased and received on Friday two new Sugar Nellie stamps and decided to use my GG one. I watercoloured her and added some silver and sparkles. I've teamed it with papers and sentiment from the Paper Pizazz Kids pack and silver glitter paper and co-ordinating roses from Colour Connections. Then I've added swirls, stars, silver and blue glitter and moons from stash.

I really enjoyed creating this as it was different and using a medium I've not used before - I'm now wanting to experiment further. Thanks for a great challenge and thanks for looking and any comments. XXX

DCD#2 Dots and Spots

Susie and Vikki over at DCD have a lovely challenge blog and this week the theme is Spots and Dots. Here is my girly pamper card with spots and dots. I've used pearlescent card in lilac with papers from stash. I've made a dressing table from LP Creative Marble finish card in cream and freebie die cuts. I've punched the edge of the bottom paper and used sticker corners on the top. I've doodled the stand for the dress and the dressing table draw.

Thanks for looking. XXX
