TILDA'S LOVELY LACE

Morning folks,

I am here this morning with another card using one of my older Magnolia Tilda stamps.  I worked to a lovely Sketch for CLP and initially I was working to a Challenge which asked for Mint and Chocolate Chip.  I was right out of my comfort zone here but it does me good to try different things.  Unfortunately I missed the deadline for that one as Blogger was playing up.  Never mind, these things happen though.

Die-cuts:  Memory Box, Cheery Lyn and Magnolia tag (from EBay)
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
Machine Stitched 
Beads from my teamie and friend (thanks Choccy)
Everything else from stash

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

CLP Challenge - Sketch 
Hooked on Craft Challenge - All that glitters

PLAYING

Hi folks,

'Playing' is the theme at Lili's Little Fairies, and this is just what I have been doing too, playing and having fun.  This one has been made a little while now waiting to be posted onto my Blog.  I have used one of the lovely die-cuts from LOTV, do these two cuties look as though they are playing?  I think they do.

I really must remember to write down he name of the papers as i make my cards, these were from my stash pile so I am not sure what they are.

Die-cuts and Punches:  LOTV die-cut and Martha Stewart 'branch' punch
Doiley, Cheesecloth and pearls from EBay
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts

ONE STITCH AT A TIME CHALLENGE #119 - SUMMER DRESSES

Hi folks 

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme is a lovely one, entitled 'Summer Dresses', so think prints, flowers, fabric etc.  A real girlie one which was just upmy street!


Sponsor:  Joanner Sheen with a wonderful prize of a £10 UK Gift Voucher

I was lucky enough to work with this gorgeous image from Beary Dust Stamps called 'Berry'.  This is a brilliant Digi stamp, and the beauty of it is there is no hear to colour!  Ins't she gorgeous!  Perfect for a Summery theme.  She is available from  Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps . 

First I made the background to it all.  I loved doing this!  I had a brilliant Martha Stewart All over the Page heart punch bought for my birthday last year (Thanks Maureen! HUG) so I put this to good use.  I punched hearts randomly over the backing paper and then placed co-ordinating prints in backing paper underneath.  First I tried material but the prints I had did not work as well.  I have taken a photo of it before it was finalised.

PINK AND GREEN

Hi everyone

I am delighted to be back and able to tell you that my Blog was miraculously fixed overnight!  What a relief this is!  I was getting quite worried about it!

Tonight, I have a card to share using a lovely image designed by Tina Wenke for Stampavie whidh has been cleverly coloured by a very dear friend of mine.  I think the image is called 'Bear with Parasol'.  I have gone for the bold and bright look using Pink and Green, lovely roses embossed circle and pearls to embellish.
