Love Love Love Tilda with ribbon and pearls.

Hi Crafty blogger's.
I hope you are all enjoying the weekend!
Today I have made a card featuring Love Love Love Tilda from the
Special Moments Collection 2013.
I chose to colour Tilda with Sepia colours. This is a first time for me and  I really enjoyed it.
I could kick myself!
 I wanted to enter my card into MDUC Sepia challenge but, I was too late to enter.
That will teach me for not checking out the closing date.
Anyway here is my card and I hope you like it!
 
 
The papers are Maja Designs "Vintage Spring Basics." I have distressed the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink and matted them onto Woodware recycled card.
I have coloured Tilda with Polychromos pencils, cut her out with a CArt-Us circle die and matted her onto a Sizzix Bigz Scalloped circle.
The Memory Box Pippi butterflies, clay heart and metal corner have been Fran-taged with shabby white embossing enamel.
The clay heart is from Live & Love Crafts.
The 25mm cream satin ribbon and cream Kort & Godt rolled roses are from The Ribbon Girl.
The various sized roses, metal corner, 3mm red pearls and 5mm tan pearls are from
Wild Orchid Crafts.
I have inked the edges of a Tim Holtz sentiment ticket and cut a Valencia border die into two pieces, placing them either side of the sentiment.
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.
 
 
A closer shot of Love Love Love Tilda.
 
I have surrounded the image with a sprinkle of Shabby white Fran-tage from Craft obsessions, adding  some Ranger gold liquid pearls too.
 Tilda's cheeks have been dotted with a Inkssentials opaque white pen.
 
 
I'd love to know what you think!

Waterlily Tilda.

Hi crafty bloggers.
I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful sunshine!
This is the third time I have made a card featuring Waterlily Tilda and this time my card is a shaped one and very summery too. I really love this gorgeous little lady.
 I can finally say that I am now a Tildarette!
 
 
For the shaped card I have used Go Kreate large frames Frilly #2.
I have stamped Tilda with Memento Toffee Crunch ink and coloured her with Polychromos pencils.
She has been cut out with a CArt-Us nesting circle die and matted onto pink card with a
 Sizzix Bigz scallop circle die.
The papers are Magnolia "Summer Memories" Flamingo Flowers and Art Deco Miami.
The papers and white doily have been inked around the edges with Tim Holtz
 Spun Sugar distress ink.
The doily is from Ebay.
The lovely lace is called scalloped Venice "Rose."
I have Frant-aged the daisies with shabby pink embossing enamel and used shabby white on the Memory Box Pippi butterflies colouring their centres with a pink carnation Promarker.
 
 
 
I have taken a shot of the card at an angle.
I have used one of the Sizzix bigz heart dies to stamp the Lili Of The Valley sentiment adding shabby white Fran-tage and cut a Spellbinders scalloped circle for the Happy Birthday sentiment which is from Cuddly Buddly.
 
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.
 
 
A closer shot of the flower arrangement.
The flower arrangement consists of daisies and carnations from The Ribbon Girl and the white Kort & Godt rolled roses, lace and Fran-tage is from Live & Love Crafts. The 15mm white roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I have Fran-taged the 15mm roses with shabby pink embossing enamel.
 
I have added 5mm pink pearls to the centre of the Kort & Godt roses and placed a couple of pink pearl headed pins in the arrangement.
 
 
I have put a few dots onto Tilda's cheeks with an Inkssentials opaque white pen and added
 Glamour Dust to the water.
 
I hope you like my card!
I will be sending her to a special friend for her birthday.

Sweet Pea Tilda.

Hi crafty bloggers.
I hope you are all well!
I have made a card featuring Sweet Pea Tilda with shades of pink and lots of craft stash!
 
 
I stamped Tilda with Memento Toffee Crunch ink onto a Spellbinders floral oval die.
The lmage is coloured with Polychromos pencils.
I have Frant-aged around the image with Shabby pink embossing enamel and adhered a string of white pearls around the inside and placed a piece of cheese cloth underneath.
I have matted Hunkydory papers onto pale pink card and used white net lace, Daisy lace and white Rose organza trim.
 
The Memory Box Pippi butterflies and metal corner have been Fran-taged with Shabby pink enamel and the centres of the butterflies have been coloured with a pink Promarker.
I have used a selection of flowers for my card. Prima roses, Roses, Carnations, Poppies and
 Magnolia beaded berries.
The Cheery Lynn die on the right corner of the card is called Ivy corner flourish. This is also coloured with a pink Promarker .
 
 
I have taken a shot of the card at a different angle.
I think it shows a better colour as the light is very dull today.
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.

Baby Edwin

Good evening, crafty bloggers.
I have made a card for a little baby boy named Alexander.
He is to be christened at the end of June.
I have chosen Baby Edwin for my card.
 
 
I have stamped Baby Edwin onto a Spellbinders Floral Oval with Memento Toffe Crunch ink and coloured him with Polychromos pencils adding Glamour Dust to the stars and surrounded  
the image with shabby blue Fran-tage.
I have adhered white string pearls around the inside of the oval die and added  white 3mm pearls to each of the corners.
I have inked the edges of Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics papers with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink and matted them onto Woodware recycled card.
The Poppy Stamps Simple Banner I have stamped with Craftwork Cards Candi Stamps Alphabet spelling the name Alexander.
If you use these stamps. It is best not to press down too hard otherwise the ink will smudge.
I found this out after three attempts. Lol.
I have tied a small bow on each side of the banner with blue/white twine.
The Memory Box Pippi butterflies have been Fran-taged and the centres coloured with a
Powder blue Promarker.
For the smaller butterflies I have used a woodware punch, inked the wings and added
Ranger gold Stickles along the centres
The pretty Scalloped Venice Rose lace, feathers, Tim Holtz ABC charm, white string pearls and shabby blue Fran-tage are all purchased from Live & Love Crafts.
The Roses and Lilies are from WOC and the Blue Berries are Magnolia.
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated with the pretty papers and a Floral Oval die.
 
 
A close up of adorable Baby Edwin.
 
I hope you like what you see!
