Flower Fantasy At Deep Ocean Challenges

Hi everyone, I'm here with my card for Deep Ocean Challenges, our theme this fortnight is 'Flowers & Fantasy'.

I've coloured Tilda Sitting With Butterfly with Distress Markers. 

I've used papers from the new Maja Design collection and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain. I've just got a few more colours of Frantage, I am loving it, I've used it round the picture and also on the metal corner.

The roses and pearl string are from WOC, I've dabbed picket fence crackle paint on and sprinkled with glamour dust.

I've also added stickles, the links are all at the end.

I'm entering this into 'Bingo' at MDUC, I've used the bottom line, 'Anything Goes' at Marvelous Magnolias and also into 'Buttons, Bows or Beads' at Magnolia-licious.

Hugs,

Tangle Tilda

Hi everyone, I'm here today with my card for the Ribbon Girl challenge, our theme is easy peasy 'Add Flowers', I can't not add flowers to my cards, lol.

I've just got my new Tilda's, I had to colour this one first, Grace loves Tangled, and look at all of her hair.

Once again I've used Maja Designs new papers, I love the subtle colours on this one though, you can really pick them out with the flowers and the image. I've distressed the edges with Vintage Stain, and then machine stitched them with top stitch thread.

I've used a couple of doohickey dies on here too. The roses, carnation and poppy are from WOC, the rest of the flowers are from The Ribbon Girl, links are at the end.

I've added sparkle to the flowers with stickles.

I'm entering this into 'Use Tags' at Time For Magnolia, 'Bingo' at Totally Tilda (I've used the bottom row) and 'Tic Tac Toe' at MDUC (I've used the right vertical line).

Tilda's Town

Hi everyone, I've got some great news, I'm once again part of the Design Team at Tilda's Town, yay. Pam emailed me the other day, and of course I had to accept. Our theme this week is Fussy and Fancy or Understated and Elegant, I aimed for UE, and for me it is.

I couldn't not have any flowers on, I really did try to keep it to a minimum. Once again I have used some of the new papers from Maja Design.

The roses are from WOC, everything else has been linked at the end of the post.

A nice arty shot of my flowers.

I'm entering this into 'Anything Goes' at Marvelous Magnolia and also 'Spring Colours' at Divas By Design.

Fairy Wishes

Hi everyone, today in my little bit of the world it is lovely and sunny and my kids and me are getting over our tummy bugs, so all is good :)

Here's my card for a child that I've made for Live and Love Crafts, I've made it for my 5 year old daughter Grace, to cheer her up after her illness.

I've used Fairy Wishes from Saturated Canary, and coloured her in with Distress Markers, and as always I've added glamour dust to her wings, wings have to sparkle.

I've used a Go Kreate die to make a shaped card, I've used the gorgeous Maja Design 12 x 12 papers, these look even prettier in real life, I've added frantage too, I'm really loving this stuff.

The edges of the paper have also been distressed with Walnut Stain ink, the new Kort og Godt Hortensias are so pretty and delicate.

I saw Tina use the shabby seam binding and the clay hearts like this and thought it looked so pretty. I've also dabbed picket fence crackle paint here and there too.

I'm entering this into 'Pretty Pastels' at Saturated Canary, 'Spring Colours' at Diva's By Design, 'Spring Is In The Air' at The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and 'Things With Wings' at 7 Kids Challenges.

Bingo at Live & Love Crafts

Hi everyone, I'm here a little later than expected with my Bingo card for Live and Love Crafts, nasty tummy bugs have hit this house hard.

Here is the Bingo Board;

I aimed for 'Lace-Vintage-Pearls', but counting the metal of the pins and the pink heart all I am short for a full house is a doily, but I do like adding bits to my cards ;)

I've said before how the Mother of the Groom has asked me to make a few cards, here's their card for their son. The sentiment was computer generated.

She wanted a card bigger than the usual size that I make, so I have used the largest size Go Kreate die, I've used the gorgeous new 12 x 12 Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics for it. I find the Uptown Girls images to be quite big and these bigger shaped cards suit them perfectly.

There is some gorgeous inspiration, take a peek you will be blown away.

I'm entering this into the 'Spring Is In The Air' challenge at The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and 'Use Metal' at Diva's By Design.

Add Flowers At The Ribbon Girl Magnolia Challenge

I'm a little late, but better late than never, this weeks Ribbon Girl Magnolia Challenge is 'Add Flowers'. I should have published this this morning but the kids and me all have a tummy bug, always a story at the Hetherington's.

I got my Stamp Club and I'd taken a chunk out of my finger so I couldn't colour as it kept reopening and I didn't want blood getting onto my stuff. See, told you there is always something going on.

At last it looks like it is starting to be spring like, I much prefer taking pictures in the sun.

I'm loving the new purple papers from Maja Design, they look even nicer in real life.

Hopefully the lurgy will be leaving here soon, but this afternoon we are having a DVD day, pity it's a lovely day here.

I'm entering this into Simply Magnolia's 'Hats Of To You' and also into 'Anything Goes' at Simon Says Stamp.

Hugs
