Monochrome distressing with Tilda

I've had lots of fun yesterday and today experimenting with Tom Holtz's distress crackle paint, stickles, embossing powder and ink in vintage photo! I've teamed them up with DCWV and K&Co papers and a lovely Fall Tilda coloured with distress ink and PMs. I've sanded the crackle paint once dried then inked over it then stamped it and embossed it and put stickles on it! Hope you like! Sentiment is from Daisy and Dandelion set, swirl is from Personal Impressions and the candy buttons from stash and the flower which has been heavily distressed. Thought I would have a go at entering the Just Magnolia challenge with this one - Monochrome. They have the most stunning creations - go and check them out if you haven't already.
The sketch is by the gorgeous KathyK from the LGS group on Craftbubble. Go and check the creations out. Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to look.

Let it snow Tilda

Firstly thanks to Wynneth for this lovely image. She is coloured with PMs and I've clear embossed her fur lined coat.


I've created the snowy background with acrylic paint and clear embossing using a PM stamp over which I've stamped a See-Ds 'Let it snow' stamp in silver ink. The bottom sheet is the same snow stamp in silver. The wall is made from an Allota stamp in distress ink with embossed snow. I've attached the sentiment with silver/blue thread and added two silver bells. The diecut snowflake and tree were in a package from Artymiss. The snowflakes are by Crafttime.


I am entering this in the Creative Card Crew 'Snowflakes' challenge and the Moving Along with the Times sketch and theme challenge by Hazel (I am hoping this will be close enough girls!).
Thanks for looking Hugs Cherry XXX

LGS Tilda with bells!

Here is Lauren's sketch for LGS and here is my interpretation!


Cardstock is PM - Vintage Christmas. Tilda is from the Fall collection and she is coloured with PMs. Papers are from The Funky Fairy and Artymiss. The sentiment is from a Daisy and Dandelion set. The gold thread is from my stash and the bells were from Metallicbutterfly (thanks).
Happy Sunday all.

All Hallow's Eve

This is my last Halloween card!
I've created an easel card using parchment card in Ivory and the paper is from Pink Paisley and I love it (it's double sided). I've added distress stickles to the tree and the bat and leaves (from an X-cut punch). Tilda is from the Fall collection and she is coloured with PMs and paper pieced. The cauldron is from Shirley's 2 girls as part of a digi set called 'Bubble Bubble' also coloured using PMs and stickles. The All HAllow's Eve and 31st stamps are Pink PAisley ones in Metallic Silver and black. I really enjoyed this card.
I'm entering it in the Stampin' for the Weekend 'A haunting Good Time' and Crafty Creations 'All Hallow's Eve' challenges for obvious reasons and I love their blogs.

Thank you for popping by and I hope you all have a spookalicious 31st! Hugs Cherry XXX
