Tilda and Co Challenge #21

This is my first time at Tilda and Co Challenge blog and the theme is 'That torn it'. Here is my card. I ripped the edges of the patterned paper and then drew on faux stitching, mounted and layed the Tilda image which was coloured in using watercolour pencils. I added ribbon with a gold clip to add some sparkle.

The backing papers are from Dovecraft, the assorted colours value pack paper and the Birthday value pack. The stamp is Tilda with cake - all of these products can be bought from Sassy Crafts. Thanks for looking.

Funky Fairys Challenge #22

This is my card for the Funky Fairys challenge, which is 'Summer'.

The stamp is Summer Tilda with hat, that I bought from Sassy Crafts. The background paper is Me and My Big Ideas, Chester range. I cut the scallop circle with my Woodware punch and doodled a little with Sakura Souffle pen.

Boyo Blue

That's the name of my Bluebell's baby :) and here is a picture of him. It's not a great one, but hopefully I'll be able to get lots more when Bluebell is feeling better.

He has a white strip along his belly, Martin said it's a shame he isn't a girl. But I'm very thankful they are both ok.

Rudolph Day

This is the sketch challenge this week on Paperminutes. As I finally received my gorgeous new Magnolia stamps (thanks Royal Mail!!!!!) from Sassy Crafts, I wanted to use one of my new stamps, so I decided to rotate the sketch so I could ;)

For the background I used weave background stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms. For the main image I used Summer Tilda, coloured her in with watercolour pencils, added a couple of Prima Got Flowers and attached them with a couple of Dovecraft brads. Then finally added green dotty ribbon.

Stamping Fairies Fun Sketch #24

This is the great sketch challenge over on Stamping Fairies this week, and as I haven't used my new Inkadinkado stamp I thought I'd use it for the centre piece.

I don't know the make of the papers, but I have a few different ones like this, so I'd better start using them! This is a lovely clear stamp Noteworthy by Inkadinkado which I bought from Sassy Crafts, the middle section with the wording is separate and I was tempted to put a flower in the centre instead of the wording.

Thanks for looking.

Design team work

As you probably already know, I'm a member of the Design team for Sassy Crafts and I just wanted to share a couple of pieces of work I've made recently. The kit I received from Emma consisted of a selection of Basic Grey Sultry papers, the matching fibres and a selection of gorgeous Prima Marketing night shades satin lavender blossoms. This card I used my Magnolia stamp which I coloured in using Twinkling H2os, added a few prima flowers and I stamped the Thanks on which is made by Third Coast Stamps. This altered beer mat was kindly given to me (and quite a few more) by Rosie for my birthday. Again I used the Sultry papers to cover the beer mat attached the fibres using brads. I used my Nestabilities to mat and layer more of the gorgeous papers. Finally I added a scrummy Prima blossom and attached it to the coaster with a Dovecraft jewel brad. Fingers crossed I'll have a few more pieces this week. Thanks for looking.
