Love Love Love Tilda Anniversary card.

Hello, crafty bloggers.
I hope you are all well!
We had lots of rain and isolated thunder storms all day yesterday here in Derbyshire.
 Well at least the lawn and plants got a good watering and today is bright sunshine and very warm again
I was asked to make an Anniversary card for a gentleman to give to his
Son and Daughter in Law.
They are celebrating their Wedding Anniversary next month.
 
Here is the card.
 
 
I have used a 6"x6" card and added Magnolia Doohickey - Vintage Box Lacing Coffee from my super bloggy friend to the front and inside end of the card. I distressed the edges with
Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink.
 
I have stamped Love Love Love Love Tilda onto a Spellbinders Floral Oval with Memento ink and coloured her with Polychromos pencils. I surrounded the image with Fran~tage shabby white embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts  and distressed the frame with "Tea Dye" distress ink placing it onto a piece of cheese cloth.
 
The papers that I have used are Magnolia  "With Love" Arrow Heart and
"With Love" Carte Postale.
I have Inked the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink and matted them onto Woodware recycled card placing a white doily behind them.
 
The flowers that I used for the arrangements are 30mm ivory roses and 15mm cream roses from
The white rolled roses, Kort & Godt chrysanths  and silver heart charm are from
I can't remember where I got the circle of beaded pearls but, they were in my craft stash.
 
I have computer generated the sentiment in Word using Harrington font 18, inked the edges
 and matted it onto recycled card.
I have added a small amount of Fran~tage to the Tim Holtz love ticket.
 
 
I have Fran~taged a Magnolia Doohickey butterfly also from my super bloggy friend with shabby white embossing enamel and added a 15mm cream rose to the centre.
 
 
I have painted some Snow ~ Tex from Live & Love Crafts onto the flowers and added a 3mm red pearl to the centres of the rolled roses. The white vintage metal corner also from
 Live & Love Crafts has been Fran~taged with shabby white embossing enamel.
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.

Hello, Crafty blogger's.
Summer is still here! Phew!!! It's hot and I am even hotter. Just been out and cut the lawn and I'm not kidding........ Our lawn is at 90 degree angle. Lol.

 
Ok. Slight exaggeration
 
I have made a card featuring Flip Flop Tilda.
I loved colouring her. She is so pretty.
 
 
Flip Flop Tilda has been stamped with Memento black ink and I have cut her out using a
Spellbinders oval die.
I have cut out the card shape and papers with Go Kreate large frames Frilly #2.
The papers are Tilda Kitchengarden by Panduro.
 The edges of the papers have been lightly sanded and inked with Tim Holtz "Spun Sugar"
distress ink. I have done the same with the Spellbinders Floral Oval frame

The butterflies are Memory Box "Pippi."
I have Fran~taged the butterflies with shabby pink embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts and coloured the centres with a pale pink Flexmarker.
I have placed some cheese cloth onto the Floral Oval and adhered Tilda to the centre with 2mm sticky pads.
The Magnolia Doohickey Jolly tag has been fran~taged with shabby pink embossing enamel and inked around the edges with "Spun Sugar" distress ink.
 
I have used an assortment of flowers for the arrangement. The daisies, Kort & Godt daisies and 20mm pink roses are from The Ribbon Girl and the 15mm roses, gypsophilia white rose buds are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
 
I have used 3mm and 5mm white pearls in the top left corner of the card and added 3mm white pearls on the floral oval.
 
The stamped sentiment is Magnolia.
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.

Tilda With Hellebores.

Hello, Crafty bloggers.
I hope you are all well!
I had a request to make a Birthday card for my mum's friends mother who turns
 89 years old next week.
I have 30 Maggie's now so it was very hard to choose which one to use because I love them all but, after much deliberation I chose Tilda With Hellebores.
 
Here is the card.

 
 
I have stamped Tilda onto a Spellbinders Floral Oval with Memento Toffee Crunch ink and coloured her with Polychromos pencils.
The pretty papers are Maja Design "Vintage Spring Basics." I have inked the edges with Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink and matted them onto Woodware recycled card.
The 25mm cream satin ribbon and flower shaped pearls are from The Ribbon Girl.
I inked the edges of the floral die and adhered a string of white pearls around the inside adding shabby white Fran-tage around Tilda placing a piece of cheese cloth underneath.
The Memory Box Pippi butterflies have also been Fran-taged and I have coloured the centres with a powder blue Promarker.
The flower arrangement consists of 30mm antique blue roses, 15mm white and blue roses and white tulips all from Wild Orchid Crafts and the Kort & Godt white rolled roses and chrysanthemum's are from The ribbon Girl.
The antique metal white corners and clay heart are from Live & Love Crafts.
The sentiment which reads a Birthday wish for my mother is a freebie from Desert Diva. I have used a smaller Spellbinders floral die to cut it out, inked the edges and added a sprinkle of shabby white Fran-tage.
 
 
A shot of the card at a different angle.
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.
 
 
I have added Glamour Dust to the bow in Tilda's hair and used Ranger white liquid pearl in the centres of the flowers.
