Sitting Tilda With Butterfly

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

I have been itching to make a shaped card so last week while I was adoring Teresa's beautiful creations I found a fab tutorial on how to make shaped card blanks using GoKreate cutting template's
You can find it HERE..
Now my super bloggy friend Kirsty-Anne generously cut and sent me some shaped templates but, I knocked over a cup of coffee while I was at my craft bench last week and along with the image I had coloured which took me ages to do and all of the shapes she had sent everything got ruined.
 I've not told her yet! Lol.
Anyway hubby offered to buy me a pack of GoKreate templates and today they arrived.
I really enjoyed making my card featuring beautiful
Sitting Tilda With Butterfly from the Once Upon A Time Collection.

Here is my card.

 

I have coloured Sitting Tilda With Butterfly with Polychromos pencils, added Glamour Dust to the butterfly's wings, cut around the image and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Spun Sugar distress ink.

I made the shaped card using GoKreate Large Frames Frilly #2.

The pretty papers are Maja Designs "Vintage Spring Basics" from Dies To Die For.

The Sizzix heart die and butterflies which I have cut around and inked with Tea Dye distress ink are also from the paper collection.

The white paper doily which I have added tiny pink rhinestones to is off of Ebay.

The Guipure lace is from The Ribbon Girl. I have used a selection of flowers. The large pink flower is Prima, the Chrystanth is Kort & Godt. The roses and 3mm white pearls are from

 Wild Orchid Crafts.

The sentiment stamp is from Lili Of The Valley.

 

 

I have used the smallest GoKreate template to cut the paper inside the card.

 

Here you can see Tilda surrounded with the flower arrangement.

I added pink 3mm pearls to the centre of the ivory roses.

 

Here is a close up of Sitting Tilda With Butterfly.

She is so adorable.

 

 

I hope you like my card!

I distressed the edges of the oval with Spun Sugar distress ink by Tim Holtz.

The image has been sprayed with Crafters Companion Spray & Sparkle and I have added Glamour Dust to Tilda's detail on her dress and hair band. the butterflies and lots to the water.

The pretty floral papers are First Editions "Sweet Owl" which I have matted onto pink card.

The pink, ivory and white roses with gypsophilia are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I die cut a Magnolia Doohickey Floral Heart Swirl with pink card and placed it amongst the flowers.

A closer look at the flower arrangement. I added 3mm pink and white pearls to each of the larger roses.

Tilda With Peanut.

Good evening, crafty bloggers.

Today I have made a card featuring Tilda With Peanut.

I sooooooooo love this this image and enjoyed every moment whilst colouring her.

I've gone for browns and pinks for this card as I think the two colours go well together.

 

I have coloured Tilda With Peanut with Polychromos pencils.

The papers are First Edition "Sweet Owl."

I cut some white card and used a Martha Stewart half daisy edger punch to punch along each side, inked along the daisies with brown ink adhering both sides to pink gingham paper and stuck it to the centre of the card.

I adhered the pretty lace from The Ribbon Girl along the bottom of the card with some organza rose trim from Live & Love crafts along the top.

I matted Tilda onto pink card adding white 3mm pearls around the image and adhered it onto

a piece of cheesecloth.

The arrangement of flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts and the white headed pins are from

Creative Treasures.

I added 3mm pink pearls to cover each hole down the sides of the daisy edger punch.

 

 

Inside the card has been decorated with the pink gingham paper to

compliment the front of the card.

 

 

A closer look at Tilda With Peanut. Aren't they adorable!

I have added Glamour Dust to Tilda's head band and scarf.

Fairytale Friday. "Little Ballet Bea."

 

Good morning, crafty bloggers.

It's another Fairytale Friday over on the  Teddy Bo & Co challenge blog

It has been quite a week! I suffer with sciatica which flared up last weekend but, eased off within a couple of days. I managed to sit for short periods of time to colour midweek but, yesterday was a bad day once again and the pain got the better of me so for my card today I have chosen a pre-coloured image. The card took me the best part of yesterday to complete. Lol.

 

Here is my card.

 

 

 

I have used image TEDDYBEA_223 "Little Ballet Bea" Pre coloured

I used Spun Sugar Tim Holtz distress ink along the edges of white card and with the same colour ink distressed around the edges of some First Editions "Spring Drop" papers and matted them onto the white card.

I cut out four corners with a pair of Fiskars Nostalgia corner scissors

 (I have had them years)

I adhered them to each corner of the card.

I printed the image, cut it out using a Spellbinders Nestibilites Floral Oval and inked the edges. I adhered her onto a larger Floral Oval with sticky pads and then glued it to the centre of card.

For the flower arrangement I have used a selection of roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and the white flower spray is from Live & Love Crafts.

The die cut butterfly is a freebie from the latest issue of Simply Cards & Papercraft which I have added a pink and white 3mm pearl to.

The ballerina shoes charm is from The Ribbon Girl.

 

 

Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.

 

 

A closer look at the flower arrangement.

I removed the leaves and some of the petal's from the darker pink roses at the top so they look like  rose buds.

 

 

A close picture of Bea.

I added Ranger Frosted Ice Stikcles to the base of her tutu.

 

I hope you like my creation?

Three embellishments, two papers and one image.

The challenge ends on Sunday April 28th at midnight UK time.

Tilda With Little Rudolf.

Good evening, crafty bloggers.

I was so excited about colouring this gorgeous stamp as it is my very first Christmas card featuring

Tilda With Little Rudolf.

I have a small collection now since my lovely bloggy friend introduced me to

Tilda before Christmas last year.

 

So here is my card.

I hope you like it!?!?!

 

 

I have stamped Tilda With Little Rudolf and die cut her out using a 

Spellbinders Nestibilities Floral Oval.

I used my Polychromos pencils to colour the adorable pair and sponged green pastel chalk

around the edges of the floral die then I sprayed it with Crafters Companion Spray & Sparkle.

The papers are NitWitCollections "Krafty Christmas" from Lili Of The Valley. I inked around the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink and matted them onto recycled card.

The 38mm pretty white Guipure lace is from The Ribbon Girl.

I added 3mm white self adhesive pearls in threes around the image and then adhered the die onto the centre of the card with sticky pads placing a piece of cheesecloth underneath.

I cut a Cheery Lynn Holly Flourish die and added some tiny red rhinestones at the base

of the holly leaves and arranged the flowers from the bottom up.

 The flowers I used are a white 25mm curly wild rose, 15mm olive green roses, 15mm white roses, 10mm white roses, ivory Gypsophilia and red berries all from

Wild Orchid Crafts.

The Kort & Godt cream rolled roses are from The Ribbon Girl which I have added a 3mm red pearl to each of the centres. The white flower spray is from Live & Love crafts.

The 5mm and 3mm pearls are all from Wild Orchid Crafts and the cute reindeer charm is from

The Ribbon Girl. I have placed a 3mm white pearl over the hole above the charm.

 

I took lots of pics for this card.

 

 

Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.

A nice angled view too!

 

 

The reindeer charm

 

 

My arrangement of flowers.
