tilda with a lamb

todays card is tilda with a lamb,the papers are stamping ups tea party the flowers are from wild orchid coloured with distress inks I have given copics a try but I do like the softer look of distress inks and I have only just noticed the one of the flowers is different oh well hey ho,  well thanks to my blogging friend Lisa who points me in the right direction I am entering this card in Just Magnolia (punch it out) Quixotic(  joys of spring )and papertake weekly (cutie pie)

life said the butterfly

today's card is using a Lili of the Valley's fairy stamp coloured with distress inks, the wings are done using fantasy film,sorry you cant see how pretty they look,the backing paper is from create and craft  and the background is just dots of ink with plenty of water added to make it spread then the edge is distressed with tattered rose and milled lavender entered for (The cute and girly)

sitting pretty

the same little gorjuss girl I thought I would get my monies worth out of this stamp the papers were all bits I had in a box to nice to throw away I coloured with copics, the flowers came this morning from wild orchid crafts check them out they are lovely

sitting on the grass

 in this card I am trying out some card from stamping up called whisper white,as I live in the middle of nowhere and cant always get water colour paper and our demonstrator Zoe comes to our craft club I wanted something that was easy to get  I have tried it with distress inks and water colouring but they didnt work so well also copics but copics is the only one that really works in my opinion this is copic, the stamp is gorjuss sitting, I had this stamp from my daughter at christmas time but its the first time I have used it entered for Colour Create Challenge
and Creative Card Crew

in the garden

this card is for a little boy,the papers are kameo cards,the image is H&S,and  the scroll is done with jewel templates from brazzill basics papers, you put the template on the paper and draw spots in the holes of the design then it suggests that you put jewels on each of the spots but I didnt have any so I used  liquid pearls

fairy box

this is a box done for Sir Stampalot challenge

Jam tarts for tea

last night was craft club, Kath did the tutorial thank you Kath, it was a lovely evening I would have maybe finished the project if I hadnt chattered all evening,anyway its finished now ,everyones was different I have entered this for( Just Magnolia challenge)

Easter Gift

I saw this with a card made in the same colours and image and a bar of chocolate I liked the idea,my grandchildren are  avid readers and have asked for books for easter,so I thought these loooked nicer than a plain bar

Hand drawn by matt

my son came over for the weekend and was doodling, this is one of his little drawings, I wish he had done it in pen as you cant see the image to well, but I thought it was to nice to waste, so I made a card with it

magnolia challenge

its another easel card this time for a challenge over at magnolia,I wanted to do a sepia toned card with my cooking little tilda's so coloured two to see which I liked the best but oh dear I liked them both maybe I went a bit over the top still its to late now

little miss Anya

well I tried copics, and I did like them but I think I like my distress inks better so before I spend any more money on pens I am  going back to them, this card is done with distress inks, some papers from stamping up, the stamp is miss Anya I added a bit of gloss to her boots I wanted to try making the flowers look as if  they had been water coloured and also match my colouring they were punched with EK success

an apron full of eggs

this card has been done for sunday sketch and stamp I used card from my stash and the tilda is coloured with copics I'm still learning with these, I've  just bought an on line cause on copics with Suzanna Dean
