Stamp and Create - For You Tilda

Good evening everyone!
It's Monday and time for me to show you a new creation for the Stamp and Create blog..
Not so long ago I made a little gift bag.. Remember??
I've decided to make another one..

 

The stamp is from the latest Magnolia Lost and Found Collection 2014 and is called For You Tilda..
The papers are from Maja Design.. Vintage Spring Basics..


The Heart Tag is a Magnolia Doohickey and so is the Romantic Lace border die..
There's a little bit of Frantage on the tag and I've made the Vintage Seam Binding myself..
The paper edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and then inked.. They are also machine sewn..


The butterflies are made with a Martha Stewart mold and some Fimo Air..
They are painted with Gesso..
I've applied some gesso and Crackle Paint here and there on the bag..
There are lots of pearls all over the place..


Here are my Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses flowers..
I've added a little bit of cheesecloth under them and..
..they all have some Gesso on..


Have you seen this gorgeous lace and the Shabby Rose Organza Trim..
Fantastic, right?
I've used one of the Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight dies to cut out the image..


I stamped my Tilda with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured her with Distress Inks.. I've used both the ink pads and reinkers..
When I was done colouring I added some Chunky White Frantage around the image..
Then I added some Liquid Pearls between the flowers, I've drawn some white dots in the flower centres, then I covered all the flowers with some Star Dust Stickles.. I've also used some Frosted Lace stickles on her dress..
Here's the list of colours used for this one:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Cheeks: Tattered Rose
Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain
Dress: Pumice Stone, Victorian Velvet, Black Soot
Boots: Pumice Stone, Walnut Stain, Black Soot
Bouquet: Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss
Background: Weathered Wood

Live & Love Crafts - Pion Design Flower Frames

Hello there!
I'm here with my Sunday post..
I'm sure you already know that this week is all about the Pion Design Flower Frames collection at LLC..
And this is what I've made..
A tealight card..


This one is of my favourite collections from Pion Design..
The colours are totally gorgeous and I've managed to use a frame on this card even if I thought that I would never use one of those.. Ever..
So where do I start..
This is Tilda with Fantasy Flower from the Magnolia Lost & Found Collection 2014..


This card sure has lots of hearts all over the place..
The first one is the paper doily in this photo..
I've also used one of the resin pieces Sandy has in the store..
It's painted with acrylic paint and covered with gesso cos' I like them white.. LOL!


Here's a close-up of the fantastic butterfly charm..
It's hanging from the Magnolia So Wrapped Lovely Doohickey..
I have an obsession for charms and Sandy has just added some more to the shop.. They are all so gorgeous.. Check them out..
You can also see some of the WOC flowers that I've used..


Here's the rest of the flowers.. And some Flower Sprays that I love so much..
Everything's covered with gesso and Crackle Paint..
There are some pearls here and there on the card..
The heart border was made with a Martha Stewart border punch..


Look at this gorgeous lace..
And of course I had to use some Shabby Seam Binding too..
The angel was made with a mould bought on Ebay and some FIMO Air..
All the paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and then inked..
They are machine sewn too..


Here's the inside of the card with the gorgeous frame (with some lace and pearls around) on the left and the box with the candles on the right..
But to be honest.. You could put anything in it.. I've closed the heart opening with a plastic cover and there's the organza ribbon that holds everything closed..
I kept the inside pretty simple because otherwise the card wouldn't close..


That's the back of the card with my personalized stamp and the Mini Doily Doohickey..


The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..
I use both the ink pads and reinkers..
Colours used for this card:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Cheeks: Tattered Rose
Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain
Dress: Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Black Soot
Flowers: Milled Lavender, Pumice Stone, Black Soot
Grass and leaves: Peeled Paint, Forest Moss
Background: Weathered Wood
The flowers are covered with Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint but I'm afraid you won't see it..
I've also added some Liquid Pearl dots around them..
Parts of her dress are covered with Stickles..


Two more shots from the side..


I'm entering this card into the follwing challenges:
1. Inky Chicks - Challenge #21 - BINGO (lace / paper doily / butterfly)

And that's it!
You can find all the products listed at the end of this post and

Live & Love Crafts - Season of Choice

Hi everyone!
This week's theme at LLC is ''season of choice'' and my choice is Spring..
This is the time for lots of Birthdays in my family..
My niece is the first.. She's soon turning 3 and I've decided to make her a gift bag..
I won't give her this one cos' I've realized it's too small but I'm gonna make something pretty similar..


When  I hear the word Spring I always think about flowers and butterflies..
That's why I chose to use the Sofiero papers from Maja Design..
I love the whole collection but the ones with flower patterns are my favourites..
I've also used one of the strips cos' those crowns were a perfect match for my image..


Here's a Prima Shabby Chic Corner piece.. Painted with white acrylic paint and then completely covered with gesso to match the other embellies..
The border die is a Magnolia Doohickey called Scalloped Dotted Lace..
The tags are a Doohickey too..


There's another crown here.. This amazing charm.. I have to get more..
I've also used my beloved Shabby Seam Binding and there's a piece of Cheesecloth under the flowers too..
I just had to apply some Chunky White Frantage all around the image..
I've used one of my Spellbinders Opulent Ovals to cut out the image and then there's the Classic Oval under that and the  Floral Oval under both...


Some more WOC flowers and the gorgeous Lace ''Reinette'' and some brand new Shabby Pearl Rose Organza Trim.. Fantastic, isn't it?
I've applied some gesso over the image and I really like the effect it gives.. A nice detail..
I've added some pearls  and Crackle paint here and there to finish the look.. 


The Fimo butterflies are gorgeous, right?
The molds are from Martha Stewart..
The paper edges are as usual distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and then inked with Walnut Stain..
They are machine sewn too..


This is Little Cute Tilda from the Once Upon A Time Collection 2013..
She's stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..
I use both the ink pads and reinkers..
List of colours:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Cheeks: Tattered Rose
Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain, Black Soot
Dress: Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Black Soot
Crown: Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Pumice Stone, Black Soot
Background: Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone


Here's another pic of the whole mini bag..
I really hope you like it..
