A wheel barrow and Sitting Tilda With Butterfly.

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

Today I have made a wheel barrow and gorgeous Sitting Tilda With Butterfly from the
Once Upon A Time Collection.

 

 

 Sitting Tilda With Butterfly has been coloured with Polychromos pencils and I have added

 Glamour Dust to the butterfly's wings.

 

I have made the wheel barrow with 240gsm white card.

You can find the fab template HERE

 

I have distressed around the wheels and barrow with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.

 The inner wheels and handles have been coloured with a pink Promarker.

The large glitter Papermania brads in the centre of the wheels are  by Docrafts. 

 The papers that I have used are Maja Designs "Vintage Spring."

The pretty daisy lace around the top of the barrow is from the The Ribbon Girl.

I cut a piece of cheese cloth and rubbed it all over with Tea Dye distress ink then I sprayed it with water and left it to dry before arranging it inside the barrow. I inked a butterfly from the Magnolia butterfly kit with Spun Sugar distress ink, added a white 3mm pearl to each wing and glued it onto the cheese cloth inside the barrow.

 The sweet little apples on top of the cheese cloth are from Live & Love Crafts.

 

 

I have tied a pink bow using 25mm satin ribbon from Fantastic Ribbons and added a pink polka dot button from The Ribbon Girl to the centre with a tied piece of satin edged ribbon through the centre.

 

 

From the side you can see another butterfly.

Loving Bridal Couple.

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

My local florist has dressed her shop window with a wedding theme and has asked me to make a couple of wedding cards to display along side all the pretty flowers.

So my first card features Tilda and Edwin as the loving bridal couple from the

 wedding 2010 collection.

 

 

I have made the card base with 300gsm white conqueror card.

 

I have used Go Kreate Frilly dies to cut out the recycled card and papers which are

 Papermania Capsule Collection "Lincoln Linen" and distressed the edges with

 Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.

 

The stamped image has been coloured with Polychromos pencils and cut out using the largest Spellbinders Nestibilites Floral Oval die.

 I have also distressed the edges around the die and added 3mm white pearls.

 

I have coated Tilda's dress with Glamour Dust to give it a lovely sparkly effect and added Fran-tage shabby white embossing enamel around the couple which I think looks like confetti. I love this stuff!

 

I have used a selection of Magnolia Doohickey dies. Leaf and swirl, Spawling Fronds and

Floral heart swirls which I have coloured with an Ivory Promarker.

 

The pretty white net lace and roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The Kort & Godt white rolled paper roses are from Live & Love Crafts.

 I have added a white 5mm pearl to each of their centres.

 

I have frantaged the silver butterfly charm from The Ribbon Girl.

 

The heart shaped die by Sizzix has been distressed around the edges and stamped with a

 sentiment from Lili Of The Valley.

 

Lots more pictures.

 

 

I have decorated inside the card to compliment the front.

 

 

A close shot of the Loving Bridal Couple.

Here you can see the sparkly Glamour Dust on Tilda's dress.
