Don't Be Square....

Morning me lovelies, time for a new challenge at Totally Tilda our theme this time is 'No Square Cards'.

I have coloured Libra Tilda with distress markers and reinkers, there is a bit of sparkle with glamour dust, and I have also used shabby white frantage around her too.

The papers are from the new Shoreline Treasures from Pion Design. I have used a Go Kreate die to cut the card and paper, the edges have then been lightly distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and Walnut Stain ink.

Buttons and Bows at Totally Tilda

Morning everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Totally Tilda, our challenge this time is 'Buttons & Bows'.

I have coloured Tilda in with distress maerkers, and added sparkle with stardust stickles and aged rose frantage. I have just got my Tim Holtz present die, so I had to have a little play, it's great for using scraps of paper up.

The paper is from Maja Designs Vintage Autumn Basics, the edges have been distressed with a Tim Holtz tool, and then machine sewn with top stitch thread. I have shabbied it up further with gesso, and stardust stickles.

We are sponsored this challenge by the lovely Nikki from Bunny Zoe Crafts.

Rose Garden Tilda

Hi everyone, time for another challenge at Totally Tilda and this fortnight we want to see your cards with Tilda and a magnolia sentiment. We're sponsored this challenge by the lovely Nikki at Bunny Zoe Crafts. This is a scheduled post as we will have came back from the Lakes yesterday, and if we've had weather like we're having now before we go I can imagine the amount of washing I'm going to have to get through. We're staying in a cottage on a hill so we shouldn't have any flooding.

I've used the absolutely stunning cornflower 6 x 6 sheet from the new Grandma's School Book collection from Pion. I've slightly distressed the edges and as Gesso is on my payday wish list I've had to improvise and use SnowTex on the edges and embellishments. I've coloured Rosegarden Tilda in with distress markers, I picked up the wrong one for the background, I aimed for Tumbled Glass and instead got Broken China, but I like the effect.

I'll start with the top left photo, the stunning Enchanted Butterfly has had White Opal Liquid Pearls added in the gem spaces. I like using liquid pearls as you can use the size you want, I've also dotted them around Tilda. I've also used the Romantic Lock on the tag with some of the Pearl String and Champagne Lace. You can also see the Organza Roses Trim. Moving on to the bottom left picture I've used Hortensia, Roses with Glass Pearls,  rolled roses and chrysanthemums from Kort og Godt. I've also had to show a close up of the butterfly, it is stunning.

Pop over to Totally Tilda and have a look at the amazing inspiration there is there from the DT girls. You've got two weeks to enter your card, we can't wait to see them.

Hugs,
Becky

Easter Tilda

Time for another challenge at Totally Tilda, and this time we want to see Tilda on an Easter Card.

I've not made an easel card for absolutely ages, I don't think I've ever put one on here. I've used Pion papers, again. I'm loving these at the mo.

I've distressed all of the edges with Vintage Photo ink, and sewn them all. I'm not sure where I got that gorgeous lace from, I'm off to see if I can find it as I 'need' some more. I've used some more of those fab daffs and lillies.

I've coloured Tilda in with distress inks, the sentiment is also from Magnolia.

Pop over to Totally Tilda and show us your Easter cards.

Tilda With Daffodil

Here's a midway reminder for the current challenge over at Totally Tilda, the theme for the challenge is Tilda with Die Cuts and Punches, you must use both. The prize up for grabs is a voucher from Bunnyzoecrafts.
Here's my card.

I've used Go Kreate dies, and a Cheery Lynn Doily Die. I've used Martha Stewart border punch to punch out the borders. I've also used a doohickey die for the tag.

The ribbon and daffodils are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The love charm I picked up off eBay. I'm not sure where I got the tulips from.

I've masked Tilda with Daffodil onto a watering can from an older collection, and coloured it in with distress inks.

Totally Tilda

Have any of you noticed my newest badge I've been displaying for a while in my left hand side bar? That's right I'm on the DT at Totally Tilda. When Susie asked me I didn't even have to think about it, of course I wanted to join. I've looked admiringly at the work on their for ages, and I was thrilled to have been asked.

The theme this fortnight is Die Cut and Punches, you must use both on your card.

I've used a Martha Stewart border punch for the border, and I've die cut the circles for the sentiment and I've used a Doohickey die for the swirl leaf.

Once again I've stitched the edges using the gorge top stitch thread from the Ribbon Girl, the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

The flowers and ribbon are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I was dead brave and cut into some gorgeous Pion paper, it was a tough decision though, lol.

I've coloured Tilda in with distress inks. One of the loveliest ladies I work with is retiring at the end of the month, the jammy so and so and I've made this card for her.
