Tilda's Town Challenge #78 - Christmas

Hello there!

Ready for another Tilda's Town Challenge??

I am..

Here's my card for this week's Christmas theme..

I just had to use one of my newest stamps..

This is Merry Christmas Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013..

Isn't she gorgeous??

I love this week's challenge over at MDUC and I've decided to use their sketch for this card..

I have a new Tim Holtz die and it was just the thing I needed to decorate the bottom of the card.. I'm talking of the Brackets Alterations die..

And I had to use one of my GoKreate dies too..

The wonderful DP's are from Magnolia..

The Tilda Tag is a Magnolia Doohickey die and is made out of kraft paper..

The lace is from my stash..

And thake a look at the bark star.. So cute..

It's such a pity you can't see properly the mini bell on the tag.. It even makes a nice sound when you move the card around.. 

The corner is made out of FIMO Air..

I made it with a silicone mould my father made for me..

All the pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts..

There's a piece of corrugated cardboard under the image that I've covered with Crackle paint..

I've also added some Gesso here and there..

Some of the flowers are from WOC and some from Kort & Godt..

The frosted berries are from Live & Love Crafts..

The lace and Gingham ribbon are from LLC too..

The doily is from my stash..

All the paper edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and then inked with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

I always sew the edges with my sewing machine..

The Spellbinders Opulent Ovals are one of my newer dies too..

The cones are one of my favourite embellies for winter cards and I just had to add the snowflake charm too..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks and reinkers..

There's some Shabby White Frantage around the image..

I use an Inkssentials white opaque pen for the highlights..

That's all from me for now..

Hope you can join us in this great challenge..

Tea Time

Hi everyone!

This is going to be a strange post..

I'm mixing all kinds of challenges and things in this post..

I haven't been feeling very well lately and I had to come up with something..

Here's my newest creation..

I love the new Little London Collection 2013 and I couldn't wait any longer to colour my Afternoon Tea Tilda.. She's so gorgeous.. And the Afternoon Tea Bench as well..

The DP's are of course from Maja Design.. This is a sheet from the Autumn Basics Collection and it's so gorgeous on both sides that I decided to go with just this one..

Of course there's some vintage seam binding on the tags.. Those are Magnolia Doohickey's..

And there's a doily too..

I've added some Shabby White Frantage around the image and on the tags..

There's a piece of corrugated cardboard under the image and I covered it with Crackle Paint..

The pearls are a must have and I'm falling in love with all those gorgeous pins, berries and other stuff you can find in Sandy's store..

You cand find the lace and the gingham ribbon there too..

And of course all those flowers and the foam flower buds are just amazing, don't you think?

The frame is made out of FIMO Air with a mould I got on Etsy..

Some more gorgeous flowers on the right..

And let's not forget that awesome charm.. It says 'tea time'.. Love it!

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks and re-inkers..

This is the first time I colour a whole image with only Walnut Stain..

Except for the flower of course.. I've used Aged Mahogany for that one..

The flourishes are from Stempelglede and the postmark is from Magnolia..

I still haven't told you that this card is for the Midweek Magnolias midway reminder..

The theme is song bird and I've chosen a very nice song - Doris Day - Tea For Two..

The other challenge is the Marvelous Magnolia challenge..

We have a Halloween theme this week..

What do you think? I thought it would be nice not to make the usual spooky card.. LOL!

Well..

I really hope you can join both challenges cos' you don't want to miss the chance to win some great prizes..
