Buttons...

...is this weeks theme over at Tilda & Friends.

I have used the quilted stocking stamp which I bought from Silly Monkey Crafts.

I added sakura clear glitter gel pen to the 'tree' which was cut from a piece of cardstock (I forget the brand though) the poinsettia die cut embellishment has a button and fibre as its stamen and theres also another button and ribbon above the stocking.

Titania, Queen of the fairies.

This week, Tilda & Friends have asked their first guest designer, the very talented Jacqui,to set the challenge.
Jacqui has asked us to use inspiration from A Midsummer's Night Dream, her favourite play.
Here is my ATC, I substituted the froggy from this Magnolia stamp for a flower made from a couple of punches.

Bits & Pieces...

...is the theme this week over at Tilda & Friends ATC challenge blog, to use up left over bits of card etc.
I have used a scrap piece of purple card that I had previously punched a few flowers from, I used this card as a stencil to ink through with white ink onto a purple ATC blank, I then shadow inked the 'stencil' and layered that on top of the ATC blank. I added pearlescent flower embellies to the centre of the flowers and then stuck Tilda on top, which i've coloured with watercolour pencils and brush markers. I added the fibre and flower brad to finish.

Summer Sun

This week, Tilda & Friends ask us to bring them some sunshine, I used my 'summer hat Tilda' stamp and 2 flower punch outs with a glittery centre for my summer sun.

Edwin in the sea

The girls over at Tilda & Friends ATC challenge blog asked us to use the theme beside the sea.

I have used Edwin sitting on a pencil and discarded the image from the waist down and replaced it with a swimming ring which I drew then coloured in. The background wave stamp is from the pirates collection from Tanda stamps. The sun, i'm not sure of as it was loose in my bitsa box but I think its a poppin piece from TLC. The quote (which is not shown well due to the flash off my camera) reads 'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside' and was cut off the side of a book of first class stamps!

Birds of a feather...

...this is the challenge over at Tilda & Friends ATC challenge blog.

My friend Storm swapped some magnolia images with me, and Tilda with bird was one of these images, thank you Storm.

I have used K&Co Isabella papers as a background to this ATC.

A collection of challenges!

I didn't have any PSP work to do yesterday so I caught up with a few challenges.
Here are my entries...


Tilda & Co - Black and white
I like how this card has turned out, I drew the amp that Edwin is sitting on, the guitar is a die cut (Ellison thin cuts)

Inchy By Inch - Faces
Apart from the faces on my Maggie and Tilda stamps I don't really have anything that I could use for this challenge, so decided to draw on an inchie and colour it in.... picasso style LOL!

Papertake Weekly - Lime and lilac

A lovely colour combination imo, for this, I have used Bootiful Stampz Bunny Pocket stamp to make this ATC, I love this cute image! who can resist a bunny eh?

Arty Girlz - Travel/Places

I found this quite hard actually as I don't have a lot of stash on a travel theme, infact I would have preferred a cruise liner peel off or image instead of the yacht peel off. I got the definition from a book full of them that I received from my friend Kim, it's made by paper pizazz 'definitions & words ephemera'.

Tilda & Friends - Glorious green
Green is my favourite colour and frogs are my favourite animal so I've combined the 2 to make this ATC, Tilda normally has wings and a crown but I cut them off for a different look, altho I must admit it looks like Tilda has a flower crown now!





Cute Card Thursday - Vacation/Travel
Aaargh! another travel theme! .... LOL!
I couldn't submit the same one as my Arty Girlz entry, cos this is CUTE card thursday, so decided to use another cute Bootiful Stampz design, this time Cozzy Maggie on holiday, she is coloured in using brush markers. The bucket and spade are both Quickutz dies, the waves stamp used in the vertical stripe is by Tanda Stamps and is from their pirates set 2 sheet of unmounted rubber stamps. Flower from my stash.




Phew! thats it (for now)
I'm off to check my emails and then hopefully make a few more samples for Bootiful Stamps using the latest released images.

BUGS!!

Here's my entry to this weeks Tilda and Friends ATC challenge. The theme is bugs! I don't have any magnolia bugs/insects stamps so I pinched these ladybird and flower stickers off some jolee's photo corner stickers. The background is a blue ATC blank that I chalked to tone it down, then drew a tree stump (badly lol) added Edwin and the flowers and ladybirds.
I think it turned out ok actually :)

look what I "cooked"...

This week Tilda & Friends ATC challenge is called "Cooking it up!", we were given a recipe...
1 bow, 2 flowers, 3 colours & 4 brads or gems.
Here's mine, there was a bow on the Magnolia gift image, but wasn't sure if that was allowed or not so I added another bow on top of it, lol. I used gems, 2 purple ones either side of the greeting, and a pale pink one in the centre of each flower.
Hope you like it girls!

Check this out!...

This weeks challenge over at Tilda & Friends blog is called "Check it out", the team want to see checks somewhere on our work. I have used Tilda with her summer hat, which is one of my favourite stamps.

Blue and Yellow celebrations!!...

...Magnolia celebrations is this weeks theme over at Tilda and Friends.

The inspiration for our ATCs this week is taken from the colours of the Swedish Flag, the home of Magnolia stamps: Blue and Yellow.

So here is Edwin sitting on the box that his new train set has just arrived in!

Tilda & Friends ATC challenge

This weeks challenge on the new Tilda & Friends ATC challenge blog is 'In the pink'.
Here is my entry, I used 'sonnets - love' paper from creative imaginations, then stamped princess tilda and the frog, a stamp I had as a birthday gift :), you can't see well on the pic but I added twinkling h20s to tildas crown, her wings and her shoes.
