Confirmation card..

Hello lovelies!

It's been a while since I last posted something on here but things are starting to settle down a bit and I'm confident that I will be back on track soon..

Today I wanted to share with you all a card that I made for a colleague.. It's a Confimation card with a stamp that I haven't used in 8 years.. Can you believe it? LOL!

I'm talking about Tilda with a Little Dove.. Isn't she the cutest thing ever?

I used a GoKreate die for the card's base and all the papers are from Maja Design's latest collection called Miles Apart..

I also used some Bazzil Kraft cardstock and a bit of thick vellum..

The list of other dies I used is quite long..

Spellbinders Standard Circles Large (to cut out the image)

Polkadoodles Fanciful Circles (kraft cardstock under the image)

Spellbinders Floral Assortment (the square ornated frame behind the image)

Spellbinders Fancy Edged Circles (inside of the card) 

Magnolia Bloomy Tag (the tag with the Vintage Seam Binding tied on)

Magnolia Angel Wing (no explanation needed)

Magnolia Mini Doily (on the back)

I'm really sorry I didn't take any pics of the inside and back of the card but I was in a hurry..

Next time I will.. I promise..

The image is coloured with Distress Inks and sealed with a thin coat of Distress Micro Glaze to preserve it and prevent from fading..

I made some dots around Tilda with White Opal Liquid Pearls and in the end I added some Stardust Stickles on her wings.. I wish I could show you all that sparkle but I did that after these pictures were already taken..

All the flowers are from WOC and there are some hints of Gesso here and there to make it a bit more shabby..

There's some cheesecloth under the flowers as well for some extra texture..

Then there's my favorite paper doily and lots and lots of pearls..

All the paper edges are distressed and sewn..

The white butterflies were made with an old Martha Stewart mould and some Fimo Air Light..

I'm really glad you took the time to stop by..

I'm a bit rusty but I hope you enjoyed your stay!

I wish you a wonderful day!!

xoxo Tina

Tulip Love Tilda..

Good morning to you all!

It's time to share another make, don't you think?

Those of you who are following me on my Facebook page have already seen some 'work in progress' pics of this, but now I'm finaly ready to share the final result with you..

I started colouring this adorable Tilda quite some time ago and this card was my project for the 3rd TOMIC Challenge, but since I was a bit behind, I decided to postpone this post a bit further and use my card as a reminder for the current challenge..

So if you haven't joined us yet, I sincerely hope this post inspires you to do so..

The theme for this month's challenge is Mayflowers..

That's a good one, right?

Enough with the blabbering..
Here's my card..

I am a big fan of cutting dies.. You know that..

And as most of the times I picked a GoKreate set for the card's base..

But let me tell you..

I have a serious addiction to CreaLies dies as well..

They are really growing on me and as you can see I've used them again..

This time I had a play with the Squares with Cross Stitches.. That's what I used to cut the image out..

I keep repeating myself but you get so many sizes in each set, and the price point is awesome!!

I love, love, love them and I will be getting more soon..

I simply need them all! LOL!
Well.. Maybe not all but my wishlist is getting longer and longer..
Check them out HERE.. They are absolutely fantastic!

Here she is.. Tulip Love Tilda from the Hugs & Kisses Collection 2019..

Stamped with Archival Ink and coloured with Distress Inks as usual..

If you're interested in the list of colours just let me know..

The sentiment on her right is from that same collection..

Another detail I'm loving to death is that Round Cabochon on the left..

I cut that beautiful rose out of the paper I used on the back of the card, placed it inside the cabochon and topped it with lots of Glossy Accents..

I'm sure you recognized the paper collection..

Yep.. One of Maja Design's most amazing products..

The Sofiero line..

When it comes to kraft paper, my go to paper is the Bazzil Classic - 12x12 - Kraft..

Let's talk some more about dies..

Lots of Magnolia Doohickeys on here..

The Sakura Background is peeking out on the top and bottom of the card and I placed some wonderful flower sequins on the flowers to add more sparkle..

The Tilda Tickets on the top right corner..

And that tiny tag hanging from the flowers.. The heart on it is from the Heart Band Aid set..

The flowers are from WOC if you were wondering..

There's a doily inside..

The heart dies are from Marianne Design..

This set is called Craftables - Basic Shapes - Hearts..

On the back of the card you can see that I used the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and a die from the Triple Tear set..

Another doily, and some more half-pearls..

Check out that cabochon once again..

I really, really love it!

The image has a light coat of Distress Micro Glaze on, because I always protect my images with that..

The highlights are made with a Ranger White Opaque Pen and I also used a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the Tulip..

Gesso, lace and cheesecloth add that extra shabby feel to the whole thing..

So this is what I have for you today..

 Now go create something and join in the fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love ya!

Tilda with Early Bird..

Good morning everyone!

Here's a new project that I hope brightens your day..

The papers are a mix of Vintage Summer Basics, Vintage Autumn Basics and Vintage Frost Basics from Maja Design..

The kraft details are made out of Bazzill Classic Kraft 12x12..

I stamped some vintage postmarks on those.. You know I love them..

Here is the image.. Stamped with Archival Ink and coloured with Distress Inks..

Her name is Tilda with Early Bird and was released in 2018..

It's one of the super cute stamps from the Le Fleur Upgrade..

Here's a full list of the colours I used if you're interested..

Skin

Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks

Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany

Hair

Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Dress

Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Heart Pockets

Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany

Boots

Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Hickory Smoke

Grass

Now let's talk about the dies..

The gorgeous circle I used to cut out the image is a CreaLies Circle with Open Scallop..

I just cannot recommend these dies enough..

They cut beautifully and you can find them in all kind of shapes, with all kinds of finishes..

And you get soooo many different sizes in each set.. 

I tell you.. I'm in love with these and I will use them a whole lot for sure..

Of course I just had to use the square set as well.. They complement each other marvellously..

The square set is called Squares with Open Scallop..

You can find them all HERE..

The card's base was made with a GoKreate Frame Frilly #15..

The tags and fence are both Magnolia Dohickey dies..

One is called Bloomy Tag and the other Lovely Fence..

I used Spellbinders Standard Large Circles and Petite Scalloped Circles Large for my handmade logo on the back..

A shot from the side to show you some more details..

The chipboard element is from Scrapiniec.. From the Boho Love collection to be more precise..

I made the dots around the image adding some Frantage embossing powder..

Not sure if you can tell but the pockets on her pants are covered with Nuvo Crystal Glaze and the flowers in her hair are all sparkly because I added some Stardust Stickles on top of them..

I think the House charm is absolutely adorable.. Isn't it?

I've used my sewing machine to stitch the paper edges, added lots of half-pearls and all sorts of WOC flowers all over the place..

There's also some cheesecloth here and there and different kinds of absolutely gorgeous lace..

All with a light touch of Dina Wakley Media Gesso on..

Holy Tilda With Violin..

Hi guys!

I'm done with my Christmas makes for this year..

I finished this card earlier today and it was a last minute.. Well.. More like a last second make..

 The papers are from Maja Design..

I used the Vintage Summer Basics 6x6 paper pad and the Vintage Spring Basics 6x6 paper pad..

The card's base was made using a GoKreate die.. 

Oh my.. I'm such an ass..

I only noticed this while editing the pics..

There was something bothering me and I couldn't figure out what that was..

Now I know..

I forgot to remove a piece of paper from the end of one of her braids.. I did the masking when the image was already coloured and I cannot believe that I didn't notice that before..

Well.. Too late to take new pics..

It's already on it's way to a new home..

Here's a pic I took while colouring so you can see that I really did color the whole thing..

LOL!

However..

This is Holy Tilda with Violin from the Nativity Collection 2012..

I looove her!

She's coloured with Distress Inks..

I use the regular ink pads and the reinkers..

Let's talk a bit about the details..

The feathers are a gorgeous Magnolia Doohickey die..

The flowers are from Kort&Godt and WOC..

And so are the berries..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

And I've used a bit of Gesso here and there to give it more of a shabby look..

A paper doily is a must..

And so is some wonderful Lace Véronique and the White Vintage Seam Binding..

Another fantastic Magnolia die here..

The Bloomy Tag..

And more flowers with a bit of cheesecloth under them..

 The background stamp is from the Magnolia Vintage Box Vol.1..

So many pretty things in it..

I will be definitely ordering them all..

Some pearls are 'real'.. Some made with Liquid Pearls..

And the sparkle on her.. Star Dust Stickles of course..

Well..

That's all for today..

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think of it..

I know I'm a bit rusty but one of my New Year's resolutions is to be 10000%  more creative next year..

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hugs, Tina

Tilda In Cozy Coat

Hi everyone!

I'm back.. With a new card..

My father needed a Christmas card and I had NONE.. 

Seriously..

I was in such a hurry that I forgot a thousand things..

I forgot to finish everything with Gesso.. I can't believe it.. I only realized it while editing the pics..

And a pearl fell off..

Wanna talk about the colouring?

I forgot to finish the shading around her..

Shame on me.. LOL!

Well.. There's nothing I can do now.. He mailed it out earlier today.. 

Enough with the babbling..

Here are all the details..

This gorgeous papers are from Magnolia.. I've been neglecting them lately but I'm starting tu pull them out of the drawers..

And I've decided to use some dies from the Doohickey Kit vol.2 too..

Can you spot them?

One of the Slender Firs is there too..

And I've used my GoKreate dies for the card's shape and my Spellbinders dies for the image..

At least I did not forget to distress and sew the edges..

There's a doily under there and a square piece of corrugated cardboard that I painted with some Picket Fence Crackle Paint..

Some pearls here and there..

A snowflake charm..

And some beautiful lace..

Tons of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Kort & Godt and Magnolia.. Of course.. 

And some berries, leaves and a bit of cheesecloth..

The snowflake die from the kit is pretty much all hidden under all that stuff..

This cutie from the Waiting For Christmas Collection 2014 is called Tilda In Cozy Coat..

The dots around her are made with Chunky White Frantage and the snowflakes are covered with Stardust Stickles..

I added a touch of Glossy Accents to the buttons on her coat..

She's coloured with Distress Inks..

Just a few colours really..

But I've added a bit of Aged Mahogany to the cheeks this time, and you know what?

I really like it!!

I would love to hear what you guys think..

Leave me a comment if you can..

And there's one more thing I have to say:

Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Hugs, Tina

Tilda's Town Challenge #103 - Your Favorite Coloring Medium

Hi everyone!

I love May and the weather today is fantastic here..

The sun is shining, the birds are singing.. It can't get any better, can it?

A colleague at work asked me if I could make her a card for a Holly Communion and of course I said yes..

I have tons of angel Magnolia stamps but I've decided to go with this one..

This week's Tilda's Town Challenge is all about Your Favorite Coloring Mediums and mine are Distress Inks of course..

So here's my card..

This is Dancing Tilda With Stars from the Little Christmas Collection 2012..

The papers are from Maja Design's Sofiero Collection..

I've used one of my GoKreate dies to shape the card..

Here you can see the Heart tag Magnolia Doohickey..

I've made the Vintage Seam Binding myself..

The Made With Love Charm is from my stash..

And so are the two pins..

I looove the So Wrapped Lovely die.. This one is from Magnolia too..

This Seam Binding has a slightly different tone than the one on the other side..

There's a doily too under all those layers..

And you can see that I've added some pearls here and there..

The image was cut out with a Spellbinders Oval and I've placed a matching Scalloped Oval under that..

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Kort & Godt and I Am Roses..

There's the Angel Wing Doohickey tucked under them.. Covered with some Shabby White Frantage..

I've added a bit of cheesecloth under those too..

The postmarks around the image are from Kaisercraft..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The spider web ribbon is gorgeous but I just had to add a little bit of lace on top of it..

This amazing lace is from the Suhafuha Etsy store..

You should really check it out!

And then there's this magnificent charm that's just perfect for the theme..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and then coloured with Distress Inks as I said before..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

When I was done colouring I added some Gesso over it.. Not covering the whole image.. Just parts of it..

I wanted it to look like she was high in the sky between the clouds.. LOL!

The wings are covered with Stickles and there are some Liquid Pearl dots around her..

Hopefully I didn't forget anything..

So.. What are you waiting for?

There's a fantastic prize up for grabs for one lucky random winner..
