Magnolia Challege - Sketch

The sketch was done by Lorraine (whoese blog scrapmetal is on my list of favourites). I have used windy Tilda and mounted her on a leaf papermania paper. I surrounded the image with glitter outline sticker to keep in the purple theme and have added a hydranger flower in the corner over the ribbon. I think that Tilda been windswept works for the off centre layout.

PennyBlackSaturday - Challenge 3 colour

Sorry that this has no Green in it, but my sister asked me for a wedding card and green is unlucky at weddings, but I hope I am not penalised for this. Penny Black Stamp Hedgehog Kisses has been used. The image has been watercoloured before being mounted and surrounded by paperflowers. I have backed it on a pale pink card. Hope you like x

SBS18 - Challenge 8 Beaches, Summer Sun and Sand

This is Tilda as a Mermaid on a Rock. She has been watercoloured using pencils and then blended. The scales have then been glittered in a pale blue alternate so it is not too much and the jewels on her dress in a darker glitter glue - though it looks like blobs on the photo in the flesh it is not. The backing paper is dovecrafts fantasy. Anita's ribbon and a dovecrafts brad finish the card.

I am so lucky

I have ha a wonderful delievery off the postman, I have had 3 sarah kay stamps and a penny black of my husband for our anniversary on monday (7 years) and I have also had a gorgeous card of Annie, enclosing a magnolia chair and some stamped images I won on Tilda and Friends Midsummer Nights Dream ATC challenge. Unfortunaely blogger will not allow me to upload photo's at the moment but I will put a picture of them on later.

Lorraines Birthday Candy

Lorraine (http://scrapmetalsretreat.blogspot.com/) is celebrating her birthday on the 29th July (this would have been my mothers birthday) and is giving away some wonderful blog candy - I really recommend you visit her blog as her cards are superb and will really blow your mind.

Tilda and Co - Dotty

I got really stuck with this after some inspiration form Cathy and Jacqui, I finally got it sussed. Tilda is coloured in watercolours and is sitting on a dotty circle. I originally had her sitting at a window wil snow falling outside but think one of Tilda and Co's design team did that a while back and I did not want to copy. The background colour is a bit too pink even for me, but it is intended for a 9 year old girls birthday so I think it will be ok!

SBS18 - Just to say

Here is my DT member card for Donna's Just to say challenge. I hope you like.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 2 - Friendship

A cute little hedgehog stamp of two friends chatting. I have used circles again - fond of them with faux stitching at the moment. The papers are a lovely RAK from Cathy. I loved the purple and had to use straight away. Image watercolured as per normal.

Cute Card Thursday - Birthday Card

A simple card I am afraid but effective I think. I have matched the wrapping paper on Tilda's present to the backing paper used, and made the card to resemble a present by use of ribbon. I have mounted the image on pink paper and added a black border around the card. Tilda has been watercoloured as per usual x

I am still here!

Sorry I have not updated for nearly a week now. I did the race for life last wednesday night and was very pleased with myself, then we went away for the weekend and I have lost abit of my mojo too. Thank you to friends whom have sent images and papers and I hope to put some work up tomorrow if not tonight.

Tilda and Friends ATC - A Midsummer Nights Dream

I loved this challenge - nearly went and found my A'level text - so don't be surprised if I do another one. Yeah I got to use my new stamp Tilda in Nightdress which I adore. I have coloured her in using waterpencils and H2O, in lilacs and pinks. The backing paper is dovecraft fantasy and was so apt. The grass is a bit of hologram vellum which I have had ages and was an offcut. The flowers have tiny flower brads in the centre to which I have added pink glitter.

Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mustardseed and Moth are pictured with Tilda in the picture, the flowers are meant to represent the love in idleness which Oberon bids Puck to bring him.
