Tilda With Flowing Hair

Usually I don't use much green but this time it felt right..
I made a spring card..

This Magnolia image is called Tilda With Flowing Hair.. The sentiment is also from Magnolia..
The papers are Magnolia and Papermania..

I used a lot of punches.. I don't know the names.. I bought them at a local store..
I painted the corrugated cardboard and the butterfly wings with Crackle Paint..

This butterfly is a Martha Stewart Punch..

I had to use my newest Doohickey.. It's called Scalloped Stitched Lace.. Lovely.. Isn't it???

I also used some of my older Doohickeys.. Leaf and Tilda Lace Die..

There's even some cheesecloth under all those layers.. The stripe from kraft paper is made with a Martha Stewart Punch..

All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts..

The image is coloured with Distress Inks.. I had to make a mix of colours to make the perfect colour for the dress.. I think I did it pretty well.. :)
The pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts.. I also added some Frosted Lace Stickles on her dress and Cotton Candy Stickles on the flowers..
The dots around the image are made with Liquid Pearls..

The edges are distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and sewn with a sewing machine..

For this card I used a sketch given to us at Simply Magnolia..

Love the sketch and I think I followed it pretty well..

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

1. It's a Magnolia Challenge - Spring Card

Tilda With Eggs In Her Apron

Click HERE to enter my blog candy..

This is one of the latest Easter cards I've made..
I was planning to add lots of embellies on it but when I glued the papers I thought .. It doesn't hurt if I make a simple card from time to time.. :)

Here she is:

The paper with Butterflies is from Magnolia and so is the stamp.. The rest is from Papermania..

She's coloured with Distress Inks..

I also used some Spellbinders and a Doohickey.. 

All the edges are distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and sewn with my sewing machine. The half-pearls are from WOC ..

I love the effect of the glitter on the eggs.. Can you see it ???

So sorry for the bad photos.. It's already dark outside and I'm not able to take better shots inside ..

I'm entering this one in the CRAFT-alnica Challenge where the theme is Easter..

Today I used one of the Magnolia stamps from the new Princes & Princesses collection..

I chose the Dies &/Or Punches - Flowers - Glitter/Bling combination..

The flags are a Magnolia Doohickey.. The alphabet is from Tim Holtz and it's called Typeset..

I distressed all the edges and added some Crackle Paint..

All the papers I used are Magnolia and Papermania..

The round dies are Spellbinders.. The flowers and half-pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts.. The flower stamen is from my stash..

This cute die is from Whimsy Stamps and it's from the Welcome Baby Die Set.. The stripe under the image is made with a Martha Stewart punch..

Once again I coloured the image with Distress Inks.. I still have to practice a lot..

I'm not sure you can see it but there's a lot of glitter on her dress and butterflies.. And of course I added some Liquid Pearls around the image..

I made this big bow with my Bow-Easy.. The paper edges are sewn with a sewing machine..

That's all for today..

Hope you like it !!!

Tilda With Hawaii Flower

Spring is here and I love the way it makes me feel..

I'm really trying hard to learn colouring with Distress Inks..
There are many many videos on YouTube that show how to use them, but I haven't found any that show how exactly and from where do the ladies pick the colors on the brush..
I think I found a way to do that and the results are already showing..
I'm really proud of the latest card I've made..

Here it is..

The papers I used are Magnolia and Papermania.. The stamp is called Tilda with Hawaii Flower..

The butterlfy edge die is from Tim Holtz.. The ovals are Spellbinders.. And the two butterflies are Magnolia Doohickey's.. So is the tag from kraft paper..

I also used some corrugated cardboard from packaging and painted it with Distress crackle paint..

I also did it on the butterfly edge..

All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.. The gemstones are from K&Company..

The cheesecloth, lace and stamen are from my stash.. Don't know the name of the producer..

As I already said the whole image is coloured with Distress Inks on 300g aquarel paper..
I also added some White Opal Liquid Pearls around Tilda and two tiny dots on her cheeks with the Inkssentials pen..
All the paper edges are sewn with my new sewing machine..

Some of the photos were taken earlier today.. some of them now that the sun's shining on my balcony..

Just wanted to show you how the colour of the card changes depending on the light..

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

1. Deep Ocean Challenge Blog - Challenge #21 - Butterflies
