Bells & Bows with Glittering Tilda

Hello again,

Time just flew away yesterday so i didn't get around to posting this then, time does fly when your crafting.
I have gone for a less traditional colour for this Christmas card as i had some lovely papers from Live & Love Crafts called wintertime in swedish lapland,northern lights  & the gorgeous Bark Star that i was dying to use.
I have coloured up Glittering Tilda with distressed markers & added glamour dust the the tinsel she is holding.
I have used the Memory Box Flowering Christmas Tree die & added some pearls. The Ribbon is from the Range & the wooden bells is from Hobbycraft.









This card is for sale in my facebook store - SOLD

Christmas boxes with Tilda

Good Afternoon,

Its a lovely cold day here & we've just come back from taking our little dog Kacey for a walk. She wasn't overly happy about being hosed down when we got back but she was filthy ;-)

I have had a go at making the tower of boxes that i watched Dawny P make on Lili of the Valleys show on Create & Craft. They are super easy to make & look fab when you've finished. I used 3 of the papers from Lili of the Valleys Classic Christmas pad & added some Merry Christmas ribbon that i bought in HobbyCraft. I have added Pink Ribbon Tilda on the front, she has been coloured using Distressed Markers & a spot of glamour dust has been added to her bow.




This is for sale in my facebook store

I would like to enter this project into the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday - Anything but a card

I will be back later with another post, see you soon

Spotlight on Molly

Afternoon all,

I thought I would have a go at the Spotlight technique as it is the challenge theme at Passion for Pro Markers challenge this week & I have never heard of it before.
I have used the fab Molly Rules stamp set from Visible Image & coloured her head up with Pro Markers. I have used WOW embossing powders on the naughty & nice sentiment, skull & heart stamps to give them a bit of sparkle.








You can see the sparkle of the WOW embossing powder better in this pic.

Pink & White

Hello everyone,

Wow we have had our first frost of the year; it was really pretty this morning with the mist over the field & just the tops of the trees showing, if only I had time to take a photo.
Today's card I have made using Kitty Gifts from Lili of the Valley I have coloured them up with my Pro Markers & have added glamour dust to the hat & bobbles on the scarves. I thought it looks at tad bare with only the stamp image so I added some pink polka dot ribbon to finish it off.


 

You can see the glamour dust better on this picture.

Tilly


Good Afternoon,
 
I am back with another Christmas card, I have used the gorgeous Tilly rubber stamp  from Saturated Canary. She is a very versatile stamp as I've turned her into a Christmas fairy, I have stamped her onto watercolour paper & coloured her with distressed markers, this is only the 3rd time i have used them & I was really pleased with how she turned out.


The Papers are from Live & Love crafts Pion Designs Wintertime in swedish lapland 6x6/deer 6x6, the flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.


Sadly you can't see on the picture that I have added some glamour dust to her wings, skirt & where she's sprinkling.

Tilda & her bow

On the Ice

Good Morning,
 
Finally i seem to be getting somewhere with the Christmas Cards, i don;t know if it's because the clocks have gone back & it's dark when i come home from work which means that the festive season is nearly here. I have made this card using Nikki from Saturated Canary I have coloured her hair with Copics & i am really pleased with how it looks, everything else has been coloured with Pro Markers.

I have added some gems & pearls to the snowflakes as i love a bit of bling & there is some glamour dust on her underskirt & bow for that added sparkle.
