pink tilda christmas

hello!  i havent made a tilda card in awhile, but i really wanted to use my new christmas tildas, and just havent gotten a chance, the christmas season has kept me so busy!  here's the one that ive made, hope you like it! :)

it's so shabby chic and pretty! i colored my tilda's with my distress markers, ive really focused on getting better at this, watercolor is not one of my strong points but i think that i nailed it on this one! :)  i used my tim holtz snowflake edger and painted them blue then added stampendous embossing enamel to the flakes, i love this stuff!  i also made a frame with my spellbinders and painted them then dipped it into some diamond dust crystals,  the stars are a wooden star diecuts that i covered with paper and used my picket fence on the edge.

here's a close up of my tildas!

i would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

tilda's town - freezing season

magnolia licious - pink christmas

magnolia down under - christmas

it's a magnolia challenge - christmas

crafty mess - vintage christmas

simon says stamp - use your favorite (mine's magnolia!) :)

country tilda

hello everyone! ive made a new tilda card for the just magnolia challenge the theme is country.  i really like this theme being from the midwest, i really love country style which is how i decided to interpret this theme.  im also entering it into the tilda's town challenge the them is choose your own technique i chose distressing.  im also in creative inspirations with a tremendously beautiful color scheme of peach and blues. 

so this is thee card i came up with i hope you like it! :)

i used a large scalloped circle that i crackeld, and inked the edges.  i added a doily over it.  the background blue lace paper is a antique table linen that i got at a thrift store, and made a photo copy of it with some plain blue fabric behind the lace to make the lace pattern stand out more.  the ribbon is some quilting fabric that i ripped, and lightly tea dyed, and added an antique button on top.  i made the wire hearts out of floral wire and painted them white.  

here's a close up of the pretty flowers these are from i am roses.  you can see the floral wire hearts better too.  i also added some tea colored crystal flat backs for shine.

here's tilda.  im getting use to thee tim holtz distress markers.  they're  a lot of fun to use :)

thanks for stopping by! i hope you like this tilda as much as i do! :)

just magnolia mania

hello everyone!  ive made a card for the magnolia mania challenge the theme is Prince and Princess  so cute! :) and in the just magnolia challenge 166- Let’s make a birthday card!
and the tilda's town anything goes challenge

i really love the fairy tale tilda collection and i haven't really got to use them very much, so i was really excited about getting to color some of these princess stamps :).

here's what i came up with...

 i love the way this came out.  i used papers that i got from michelles in the "impulse" section they had a bunch of blue and white mini paper packs for 50 cents each, so i got all of them.  lol.  i also used a wooden frame from there that i painted blue and crackled.

 here's a close up of the bunting.  it's some lace that i made into triangles and added buttons, and silk ribbon in the eyelets.

i made this little crown out of some multi size pearls that i had, and added crystals to the points to make it more princess-y.

here's the other corner that i added i am roses to. and some pearl swirls.

here's a close up of tilda and i added some vellum behind the horse to soften the frame and make thee image stand out more from the frame. 


i hope you ladies like this card! thanks for stopping by! :)

simply and midweek magnolia challenges

hey there!  ive made a cute little card here and i want to share it with you :)  ive made this card for the simply magnolia challenge and their theme was embossing with wet or dry techniques ( i did both)  and the other one is the midweek magnolia challenge and their theme was elegance.  here's what i came up with useing both themes.

 i love the way this card turned out!  i really challenged myself to use only scraps of paper to make this card.  even the card base is a scrap of cardstock.

here's a close up of cute little tilda.  the heart frame around the side is wet embosses with white and inked pink.  the background is dry embossed with daises. 

here's a close up of the corner with the roses.  you can tell better that i patchworked the scraps of paper in the background.  i  wanted to reflect tilda's patchwork wrapping job on her heart present. :)

well that's it for me today! :) i love this card and i hope you do too :) 

CLP, whimsy stamps, DT challenge

hello everyone! :) ive got another card today, this one im really proud of :)

im entering it in the creating lifes pieces challenge blog here is the sketch they gave out to use

the whimsy stamps challenge blog and their theme was monochormatic

and the anything goes all that scraps DT call  i really hope they like what ive made. :)

this sketch had a lot going on in it.  it was really hard for me to be able to wrap my head around adding all the rows of decoration on the bottom, paper layering and swirls on the edges of the focal design.  so i came up with the brilliant (to me it was) :) idea of doing it in layers heres what i cam up with. :)

the top vellum has the swirls and the bottom lace decoration which i decided to use stitching for  my bottom 3 rows of decoration, which doesnt take away from the over all effect.

for this project i used flowers from i am roses, bling from k & company, the metal butterfly is from 7 gypies, paper from k and company, my minds eye, and basic grey.  the stamp is from whimsy stamps.

  there is a tag in the pocket behind the fairy picture that has plenty of space to write your message on.

i hope you like this project!  i had a lot of fun making it :)

TOMIC and magnolia-licious challenge

i made the cutest little card today!  :)  The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge  is to make a fruity pocket, and i have some adorable little vintage strawberry fabric that i took to staples and colored copied, and i thought this would be the perfect oppertunity to use it! :) and magnolia-licious  has a wonderful picture for their color inspiration i love the berry tones in this and the green! :) 

so using these two components i made the following card and im entering it in both challenges :)

i love the way this card turned out!  i used my copies for the background and just plain colored cardstock for the mats and die cut outs.  i used the large spellbinders beaded circle die that i inked with Martha stewart's spray rose pink stamp pad, and inked a magnolia doohicky with brown, and added a circle of origami paper behind tilda and edges the whole circle with some white lace that i inked wit tim holtz peeled paint destress stain.  i added a flourish that is inked with the peeled paint and spun sugar to created a tie died effect, add some small pink i am roses, and some large silk roses that i got from hobby lobby, added a tag that i embellished with lace fabric and a sentiment from fisker's, and some stamped paper roses inked onto crackled paper.

 here' a close up of the tag,

 here's the flower corner, i forgot that i added some pearls from say it in pearls too.

 and little strawberry tilda herself! :) she's so cute! :)

 the pocket is on the inside, i thought it would be a great place to add a photo, invitation, gift card, long letter or whatever.  just to make it a bit different on the inside.

thanks for stopping by!
