Tilda With Little Rudolf.

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.
I have made another Christmas card. This time featuring Tilda With Little Rudolf.
I just love this image.


 
I have used GoKreate large frilly frames #2 for the shape of the card with 300gsm white
Conqueror card.
I stamped Tilda With Little Rudolf onto Neenah card with Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink and cut the image out with a Spellbinders floral oval die. I have inked around the edges of the floral oval with
Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink.
The papers are Frosty Christmas from Lili Of The Valley. I have also inked around the edges of the papers with "Tea Dye" distress ink.
I have coloured the image with Polychromos pencils and surrounded it with shabby white Frantage embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts.
I have used  Tim Holtz On The Edge "Snowflurries" die, inked around the edges with "Tea Dye" distress ink and placed them in between the papers adding a 5mm blue pearl onto a couple of the snowflakes.
I have inked the bottom of a Magnolia Doohickey "Coffee Lattice" die with "Tea Dye" distress ink and adhered 25mm pale blue satin ribbon and lace from The Ribbon Girl.
My super bloggy friend sent me the "Coffee Lattice" die.
I used 2mm sticky pads to adhere the image and placed a piece of cheesecloth behind it.
The cheesecloth is from Ebay.
For the floral arrangement I have used a 25mm Antique blue rose, 15mm blue roses and 10mm white roses all from Wild Orchid Crafts. The white Kort & Godt rolled roses and white flower spray are from Live & Love Crafts.I have placed some woodland branches and a holly flourish between the arrangement.
The woodland branches are a Martha Stewart punch and the holly flourish die is Cheery Lynn.
The Memory Box Leaping Deer and La-La Land Heart Fence die cuts are from Dies To Die For.
 I have Frantaged them with shabby white embossing enamel.
Tracey always sends me a few of her die cuts whenever I place an order with her.
Lovely lady.
The snowflake in the right top corner is called snowflake 5 by Cheery Lynn.
I have inked the edges with "Tea Dye" distress ink and added a 5mm blue pearl to the centre.
The sentiment is a freebie from Birdscards.com and I have inked around the edges with
 "Tea Dye" distress ink.
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.
 
 
I have used Snow-Tex from Live & Love Crafts on the flowers and branches and placed 5mm blue pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts onto each of the rolled roses.
 
 
A close up of the Frantaged deer and fence.
 
 
Here is a close up of Tilda With Little Rudolf.
I have added ArtDeco Glamour Dust to Tilda's pom-pom, hat trim and waistcoat.
I used Glossy Accents 3D gloss on Rudolf's nose and dotted his and Tilda's cheeks with an
opaque white Inkssentials pen.
 
 
I hope you like my card?
 
 
I am entering my card into the following super challenge's.

.

Tim Holtz "Spun Sugar" distress ink.
 
I used Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink to stamp Baby Tilda onto a Spellbinders floral oval and coloured her with Polychromos pencils.
 
The floral oval has been inked around the edges with Tim Holtz "Spun Sugar" distress ink and I have surrounded the image with Fran~tage shabby pink embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts. I added 5mm pink pearls from The Ribbon Girl to the frame at the top, bottom and sides.

Bubbling Tilda with my favourite things.

Good evening, crafty bloggers.
I hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine!
I have made a Birthday card for a very special friend featuring
Bubbling Tilda with my favourite things that I love to use on my cards.
 
 
This card is 8"x8" square. Bigger than my usual 6"x6" cards.
I have stamped Bubbling Tilda onto Neenah cardstock with Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink and coloured her with Polychromos pencils surrounding the image with shabby white Fran~tage.
The Fran~tage is from Live & Love Crafts.
 
I have used the new Maja Design Sofiero papers from Dies To Die For.  They are beautiful.
 
I have inked the edges of Woodware recycled card with Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink and
matted the papers onto the card.
 
The doily that I have used was given to me by a restaurant owner. Hubby and I had a meal one year for our anniversary and I managed to get my hands on a few. This is the first time I have used one as I think they are a bit too big for a 6"x6" card.
What a lovely lady.
 
I used Tim Holtz Butterflight die to cut some recycled card and positioned it onto the card then I cut another with white card, cut out the butterflies and Fran~taged them with shabby white embossing enamel adding 5mm pink pearls to the centres.
 
The pretty lace and 5mm pink pearls are from The Ribbon Girl.
The rose organza trim is from Live & Love Crafts.
 
I printed the sentiment which is a freebie from Desert Diva and used a smaller Spellbinders floral oval die to cut it out surrounding the sentiment with shabby white Fran~tage and inked the edges with Tim Holtz "Spun Sugar" distress ink.
 
 
I have used a Doohickey Butterfly die which my super bloggy friend sent me and Fran~taged it with shabby white embossing enamel adding a 20mm pink rose to the centre.
 
 
I have used a selection of flowers for the arrangement.
The white daisies which I have Fran~taged and the 20mm pink roses are from The Ribbon Girl.
The pink poppies are from Live & Love Crafts.
 
The Magnolia pink beaded berries are from Crafts U Love and the white stamens are from
 
I have Fran~taged a Memory Box Pippi butterfly and coloured the centre with a pale pink Flexmarker.
 
 
A close up of Bubbling Tilda.
I have added DecoArt Glamour Dust to Tilda's wings and used Ranger Glossy Accents
on the bubbles.
 
 
Inside the card has been decorated with Maja Design Sofiero paper.
 
 
I hope you like my creation!
