Life's a Beach!

Another Tilda card! This is paddling Tilda!

Life is a fairytale!

Another quick post - this is Fairytale Tilda... I think I used some colours that were too bold on this one...

Spanish Tilda!

Here was a quick make with one of the newer stamps sent to me by one of my docraft buddies Caroline (she's always so helpful and generous! Thanks hun!)

Another Kimmie! This time it's Posie!

This is another Kraftin Kimmie stamp, purchased from http://www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk/
I'm not so pleased with the layout of this one but love the stamp!

And here's a closer image.....

Especially for my big sis!

Hi! This is one of the Kraftin Kimmie stamps, Marie Antionette - isn't she gorgeous? I thought she'd do well for my sisters birthday card (she insisted her name was one here somewhere so I snuck it in the brad! Ha ha!

Here's  a close up of her (my camera isn't great so sorry for the picture quality!)

Princess Tilda and my first ever competition win!

I made this card for a competition at my local craft shop The Paperlane in Northallerton, UK, you can visit their website on http://www.thepaperlane.co.uk/ They sell the wonderful Magnolia stamps and Molly Blooms, plus Gorjuss girls and many more crafty materials besides, they're fab! I was lucky enough to win their monthly competition in June entitled "June Bug" with this card, the only rule was to include a handmade bug of some descript - hence the butterfly!

The butterfly was coloured from chipboard with Tim Holtz crackle paint weathered wood, then triple embossed and sequins and beads were added while the embossing powder was wet. I hope you like her!                   

  I had some problems with this card though, I used some glimmer mist and it curled my papers so they didn't sit as flush as I'd've liked, any hints and tips on this greatly received!   I've distressed everything with walnut stain distress ink and have added stickles on the edge of all my papers. I've also used glittered embossing powder and a versamark pen for her dress, and added glitter to her gloves and socks. To finish everything off I've added perfect pearls to her crown and to the buttons on her shoes!                      

One of my first Magnolias

This is the first card I created using a Magnolia stamp, it's Tilda in the rain! I saw this quote in one of my dad's quote books and thought it was adorable!

Here's a little close up of Tilda, I've added Anitas clear gloss to the puddle and some glitter too for some glitz!
