Card Made by Olivia

This card was made by my other 'Crafting Fairy' Olivia for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge when she was also asked to join the Children's Design Team. Olivia is 9 years of age and loves all papercrafts, she designed this card herself and the best part for her was being 'allowed' to use my photoglue!!! She loves Tilda so this challenge was right up her street.!!!

Ella's Card

Hi there, this is a card that my Granddaughter Ella made for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge when she was asked to be part of the Children's Design Team. Ella is only 7 years old but made this card herself and she must have been listening when we were using the ProMarkers recently at a 'craft with Gran' session, when I was trying to explain about shading. She picked the papers herself from my stash which were from one of the many magazines I have at home and apart from one or two finger smudges I think she did a brill job but then I am biased!!!!.

Time For Tea

Good morning and a better one it seems to be. Please, please no more rain!!! This card I have made for the latest Lili of the Valley Challenge. The card is again an 8" x 8" scalloped square card (still my favourite) and I have added to this papers from My Craft Studio Tattered Lace CD (both papers are the same but I changed the colour for the pink sheet). The image is one of the Lili of the Valley toppers but I have changed the colours slightly with ProMarkers to meet the challenge. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts as are the pearls. The scalloped layers were made using a Spellbinders Nestabilities die and these were added to a mat created with a Martha Stewart Around The Page Punch. I think that is everything covered so I am off now to get myself organised for work. See you soon.

Pink and Purple Tilda

Hello there, I've just rushed to finish this card as I wanted to enter it into the Just Magnolia and hAnglar & sTanglar Challenge. I have used one of the 8" x 8" scalloped cards and added papers from Pink Petticoat which I have edged with pastel pink cardstock. The image is one of my favourites from Magnolia which I have coloured using the following Copics:

E21, E00, E0000, RV21 for the skin
E35 and E31 for the hair
BV13 and BV000 for the dress and shoes
RV21 for her socks

The swirl has been created on the Cricut. The pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have coloured them purple with a ProMarker pen. The panels have been created using two Cuttlebug dies and the flower is the Magnolia Doiley Flower Die with a small brad inserted into the centre topped with a pearl.

See you soon.

Magnolia

Hello again, I have just returned from holiday so it has been sometime since I last posted a card but this is the one I sent to my daughter's friends who were recently getting married in Greece. The image I used is from Lili of the Valley and since it was a topper and there was no need to add colour I simply sprinkled with ultra fine glitter in the appropriate areas. The papers I used are from Pink Petticoat, the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I added some Card Candy from Craftwork Cards and a few gems to finish it off. I hope you like it.

Tilda in pink

This is my first card using the lovely Tilda with Hawaiian Flower stamp. I love this stamp and have to say it is my current favourite. I coloured the lovely Tilda with Copics but I'm sorry to say I did not write down the colours used. The papers are from Pink Petticoat and the heart lace trim is a Martha Stewart Border Punch. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the lilac swirl is a Creatables die. I'm not sure where I bought the charm as I have had it quite some time.

Hope you like it!

Here Comes Summer

Hi there

It seems ages since I last posted a card (it is only a week but seems longer). This is the card I have made for my mum's 86th birthday tomorrow. I made it using a decoupage sheet and papers from the Popcorn the Bear Triple CD from Crafters Companion. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the swirl was created on the Cricut. I have also used a createables die for the flower and the decoupage was mounted onto a Nestabilities die cut. The ribbon was coloured to match using ProMarkers.

I am entering this card in the Crafter's Companion Here Comes Summer Challenge.
