Live & Love Crafts - Postcard

Hi everyone!
Time for a new LLC post..

This is my interpretation of this week's Postcard theme..

 

How could I not use the gorgeous Reprint papers for this one??

I've used only one of the sheets (of course it's the one with the Vintage Postcards) but I can't wait to start cutting all the others too..

 The other papers are from Maja Design.. Some from the Vintage Summer Basics and some from the Vintage Spring Basics Collection.. They work perfectly together..

The corner piece is one of the Ceiling Ornaments from Prima.. It's covered with white acrylic paint and Gesso..

Of course I just had to add tons of flowers and berries on here.. I can't control myself.. LOL!

The Kort & Godt Curly Roses are one of my favourites.. I'm so glad they can be found in the LLC store..
The tag is made with a Magnolia Doohickey die called Tilda Tag..
I've added some Vintage Seam Binding to it..

And here's one of my fave details.. This stunning Graphic 45 Metal Butterfly..
There's Gesso all over the place..

And you know what? The Reinette lace is in stock again and I couldn't be happier.. Never seen a more beautiful lace..

The postmark stamps are from Kort & Godt and Magnolia..

I've added some Shabby White Frantage around the image too..

And there's even a super cute charm here..

I've used a Tim Holtz Alterations die to shape the bottom of the card..

The doily is from my stash..
There are lots of pearls here and there..
..and all the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

This is Flower Tilda with Bowknot from the Stampclub kit I got yesterday..

It's a part of the Animals Of The Year Collection 2014..

I have stamped her with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

The dots on her cheeks and eyes are made with an Inkssentials White Opaque Pen..

Can you see the fantastic effect the Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint gives to the flower?? Love it!

Well.. That's all from me for today..

Thanks for stopping by folks!

Have a great day!!!

Hugs, Tina

Stamp and Create Challenge - Spring Flowers

Hello there!

I know I'm late with this but you know what they say..

Better late than never..

Here's my take at the Spring Flowers theme for this month's challenge at Stamp and Create..

I've made a super cute mini gift bag..

I've used one of the stamps from the Magnolia Zodiac Collection 2014..

Yes.. This is Ox (Taurus) Tilda.. So sweet..

I'm sure you know at least one person who is a Taurus.. And it's their birthday soon..

Won't that make just the perfect gift?

You can purchase this mini gift bag in my Etsy store HERE..

The papers are from Maja Design..

I've used one of the Timeless Rectangles to cut out the image..

And I've used the same die to make the upper border..

Take a look at this gorgeous bow..

It was made using one of the newest Magnolia Doohickey dies..

It's called Groom Bow..

The pearls and doily are from my stash..

Here's another Magnolia die..

This is the Simple Tag..

I have to admit that I've had this one for ages but it's the very first time I use it..

What was I waiting for??

I've added some Vintage Seam Binding and a charm to it..

The pearls in the flower center are made with Liquid Pearls..

Here are some of the flowers and berries I've used ..

And take a look at the gorgeous rose trim.. I just love it!

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

..and I've added some Gesso all over the bag..

Here are some more flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima and Kort & Godt..

There's also a very simple pin there..

I've used two kinds of lace but I'm afraid you won't be able to see them perfectly because of all the other embellies that are covering them.. LOL!

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..

The dots around the image are made with Liquid Pearls..

Well.. That's it for today..

Hope you enjoyed..

Hugs, Tina

Inky Chicks - Challenge #2

Hello there!!

I'm super excited today..

I've been asked to make something as a Guest Designer for the Inky Chicks..

And of course I said.. YES!!!

Here's my card for today's challenge..

The theme is Happy Birthday Girl..

I posted a little sneak peek of this card on my Facebook Page yesterday..

Since I love masking I tried to make something more complicated this time..

I've masked three stamps:

Sitting Tilda With Butterfly from the Magnolia Once Upon a Time Collection 2013..

Tilda's Heart Flowers - Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012..

Log - Halloween & Autumn Collection 2008..

These amazing DP's are from Maja Design - Vintage Spring Basics..
I've also used some kraft paper and Papermania textured papers..

There are lots of different flowers on this card..
The bigger ones are from Prima Marketing.. The rest is from Wild Orchid Crafts..
The image's cut out with Spellbinders Circles and Scalloped Circles..

The border on the left was made using a Magnolia Doohickey - Edwin Lace..
The Photo Corner is from QuicKutz..
The pearls are from KaiserCraft..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..
The lace is from my stash..
I just had to use a doily and some cheesecloth again..

The postmark stamp is from Kort & Godt..
The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..
Here's the list of colours used for this one:
Vintage Photo
Tattered Rose
Walnut Stain
Antique Linen
Wild Honey
Scattered Straw
Victorian Velvet
Pumice Stone
Weathered Wood
Peeled Paint
Forest Moss
Black Soot
Milled Lavender
Dusty Concord

The dots around the image are made with Liquid Pearls..
I used Stickles to cover the butterfly's wings and the bow in her hair and Crackle Paint for the flowers..

There's a tag hidden saying Happy Birthday..
That's a Doohickey too.. I think that's the Bloomy Tag..

I made this card using a fantastic sketch from and old MDUC challenge.. 

I think it's Lori's sketch.. I love it!!

The sponsor for this fantastic Inky Chicks challenge is Cult Pens..

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

1. MDUC Challenge #192 - Masking and I'm also applying to be a DT member there.. It will be tough.. I've seen some amazing artists on the list..

Well.. Wish me luck!!!
