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

A short report from the fair in Milano..

Hello dear followers!

I've been pretty busy lately but I have some pictures to share with you that I'm sure you're gonna loooooove..

I'm a very lucky person indeed..

..and I know it.. LOL!

I've been invited to give a hand at the Magnolia booth in Milano..

It was a blast!

It always is..

I was blown away by all the gorgeous creations around me and whenever I had a minute off I spent it staring at them..

Of course I had to touch'em all too.. LOL!

All those gorgeous details.. The different ways in which they are coloured..

My teammates are extraordinary!!!

There were tons of stamps..

Big ones..

Small ones..

Baskets full of beautiful flowers..

And loads of wonderful dies..

Can you imagine??

One thing you cannot miss is this pic..

They brought The Italy Collection..

5 marvellous stamps that we all desperately need, right?

LOL!

I had to take the pictures when no one was there because you can imagine how crazy it gets here when all the Magnolia lovers are around..
Here's a hint..

Magnolia is attending a craft fair in Toulouse this week..

But they will be back in Italy next week from the 15th to the 18th of October for Abilmente Vicenza..

Guess who's going there for 4 more amazing days?

I told you I was lucky!!!

Stay tuned folks!

I'll be back very very soon!!!

Hugs, Tina

Craft Heaven Shop Inspirational Blog - Charms

Hello guys!

Nevertheless I'm here..

Posting a bit of inspiration for the Craft Heaven Shop Inspirational Blog..

Here's my take on this week's Charms theme..

I have chosen Bohemian Peony Tilda for this post..

She's one of my favourites from the latest Magnolia Boho Collection 2015..

The gorgeous papers are from Pion Design this time..

You can get so many different patterns from just 2 double-sided sheets that it looks like you've used a whole paper pad..

These are great to use with layouts too..

There are a lot of hearts on this card and I knew that the stunning Romantic Key charm will fit perfectly..

The flower die-cut is from the Doohickey Club Magazine..

These beautiful tags are from Magnolia..

And as you can see I used a doily, lots of cheesecloth, some half-pearls, a feather and some gesso..

I played with a Memory Box stencil and added lots of hearts on the card..

Here you can see some more amazing WOC flowers I used and the beautiful lace Fleur..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use the ink pads and reinkers..

The dots on her cheeks and eyes were made with a bit of white acrylic paint..

Hope you can see all the sparkle around there..

I've used the stencil around the image too..

With some Texture Paste and Martha Stewart Glitter..

The small dots are made with Liquid Pearls..

The sparkle on her band are Stickles..

And the Peony's got clear Crackle Paint on..

Hope you have the time to leave me a comment and let me know what you think..
It would warm my heart..

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
1. Time For Magnolia Challenge #99 - Let's Play Bingo (Lace/Pearls/Flowers)
2. Magnolia Forever - Challenge #18 - Rhinestones and Glitter
3. Midweek Magnolias - Challenge #122 - Anything Goes

Craft Heaven Shop Inspirational Blog - Flower Power

Morning everyone!

Here's my weekly post for the Craft Heaven Shop Inspirational Blog..
This week's theme is Flower Power..

You know I loooooove flowers..

And I wanted them everywhere..

I chose this gorgeous Magnolia stamp called Golden Week Tilda..

It had to be a Tilda with some flowers, right?

The papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics 6x6 Paper Pad..

The ones I picked both have a floral pattern on.. 

Then there are all these magnificent Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers..

Rosebuds, Open Roses, Gypsophila Flowers, Sweetheart Blossoms, Cosmos Daisies..

I added a bit of everything..

And guess what?

There are flowers on the lace too..

I've added a beautiful doily under all those layers and I had to use some Vintage Seam Binding to tie on my favourite tag - Tilda Tag..

When it comes to charms I'm all about keys.. This time I chose the Little Key..
I've added some cheesecloth under the flowers and corrugated cardboard to give some more texture..
The gorgeous Butterfly is a Magnolia die too.. I've used a piece of very thick vellum kinda thing to cut it out and I really like the effect..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g watercolour paper and coloured with Distress Inks..
I've used a stamp from the Stempelglede Vintage Garden Set around the image..
I just love these stamps..
So I had to use a sentiment from the Follow Your Heart set too..
It's hidden on the tag..

Used some Stickles on the petals and some Picket Fence Crackle Paint and Gesso on all the other flowers and other parts of the card..

I wanna enter this card into the following challenges:
1. Simply Magnolia - Vintage
2. Time For Magnolia Challenge #97 - Dies and/or Punches

That's all from me for today..

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask..
