Tilda's Town Challenge #117 - Flowers On It..

Hi everyone!

I'm finally able to write this post..

I know I'm pretty late but I hope this works as a reminder..

We have a fantastic challenge running over at Tilda's Town this week..

It's really simple.. Flowers On It..

I made a gift bag for a Baby Boy this time..

I've used once again Sleeping Baby Tilda from the Cozy Family Autumn Collection 2010..

I never get tired of using this one on my creations.. LOL!

I've used some blue organza ribbon for the handles..

The image was cut out using a Spellbinders Oval and I placed a matching Scalloped Oval under it..

The next layer is the cheesecloth..

And then a doily..

Some gorgeous patterned paper cut with a GoKreate die..

And again some cheesecloth and two more layers of paper..

I've used a lot of homemade embellies on this one..

The corners are made with a mold I bought on Ebay..

Then there's the frame..

And I've also made a cute little sitting angel and placed it on one of the corners of the frame..

Cute, right?

There are tons of flowers and berries all over the place.. All covered with some gesso..

And there's (of course) some beautiful cotton lace too..

I love, love, love the shabby organza trim with pearls too..

All the papers are from Maja Design..

The sentiment is from Stempelglede..

There's even a cute little pacifier laying there..

There are also some paper flowers with pearls here and there..

I made those with a Martha Stewart punch..

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

The flourishes around the image are made with a Stempelglede stamp..

All the paper edges are distressed with some Walnut Stain and machine sewn..

I've used some Chunky White Frantage around the image and some Stickles on the wings..

You can find this and many other items for sale in my Etsy shop HERE..

Hope you can join us in this fantastic challenge..

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

Live & Love Crafts - Precious

Hi everyone, time to share with you my Sunday post for the Live & Love Crafts Blog..

Here's the last Precious creation of this week..

A gift bag that will contain a precious little gift for a special someone..

I've been wanting to use this Prima resin frame for so long and I thought it would look really cute with a mini Magnolia stamp in it..

I've painted it with white acrylic paint and then covered it with gesso.. Just because I like them really white.. LOL!

The papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Frost basics Collection..

 The corner is another piece from Prima..
There's also a heart doily under all those layers..
The border was made with a Magnolia Doohickey die called Old Swedish Lace..

The Tilda Tag is a Doohickey too..

I've added some Shabby Seam Binding to it and as you can see there are lots of pearls all over the bag..

 There are tons of other things here..
The lace ''Zoé'', the Shabby Rose Organza Trim, and let's not forget the pink Rhinestones lace..
The charm is just gorgeous and so are all the flowers..
You should take a look at the NEW/Restocked section of the store..
Sandy's got some fabulous new Kort & Godt flowers.. I fell in love with those Curly Roses a long time ago and I'm really glad that she has them now.. I've used the last two for this bag..
And the gorgeous Chrysantemums are back too.. Yay!

Here are some more gorgeous WOC and Kort & Godt Flowers..

I've added some cheesecloth under those..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

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 shadow around her was also made with Distress Inks and then I added some Chunky White Frantage and Liquid Pearls on top..

This gift bag is already listed in my Etsy shop HERE..

Well, I hope you enjoyed..

Live & Love Crafts - Challenge #20 - Love N' Lace

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge over at Live & Love Crafts..

 For this month's challenge we have a more traditional theme...perfect for Valentine's... it's Love!

But there's a little twist to it...

One of the most beloved embellishments by vintage crafters is Lace, so we'd like to see some of that as well on your creation!

Here's some Love N' Lace inspiration from the me:

For this card I've used Tilda Spreads Love from the Magnolia You Are So Special Collection 2011..

One thing I've noticed is how grown up she looks.. Doesn't she?

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

The papers are from the Maja Design Vintage Autumn Basics Collection..

I love layers and I've added a doily on the upper half of the card..

There are pearls all over the place and some Shaby White Frantage around the image..

The Bloomy Tags are a Magnolia Doohickey..

I've added some Gesso and Shabby Seam Binding on them..

The gorgeous clay heart is one of my fave embellishments..

These gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I Am Roses and some were a part of a prize I won some time ago..

Here you can also see the Bark Heart with some cheesecloth on..

A small part of a Marianne Design die can be spotted here also..

And finally a better pic of the gorgeous laces I've used for this one..

The frame was made using a mold bought on Etsy and some Fimo Air..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

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

HERE's a video if you wanna see how I do that..

I use both the ink pads and the reinkers..
