TIP-TOE TILDA for TILDAS' TOWN

~TILDA'S TOWN CHALLENGE ~ 
 FUSSY & FANCY or CLEAN & LAYERED
 
 Hello Tilda fans, welcome to my blog. 
I have happy news - today  I become part of Tilda's Town Design Team.
  My blog is quite new so I feel honoured to be asked to join this talented team.
I hope you can join in the challenges.
 
 Fussy & Fancy or Clean & Layered
 
This card is "Fussy and Fancy".
 
 If this card were a pizza it would be a fully loaded. There are all sorts of embellishments hiding among the lace and flowers.  I used two Do-hickey dies; Twisted Swirl and Tilda's Heart Lace, both cut from white Bazzill card.
The pretty card shape was cut using Go Kreate dies. I believe all the embellishments, lace and flowers are available from The Ribbon Girl. I have fallen in love with those little wooden hearts, so cute threaded with twine. 




 I stamped Tiptoe Tilda onto Langton Grain Satine watercolour paper and coloured her with Tim Holtz re-inkers.  She has Glamour Dust added to her lace and white pearl stringing round the edge.
 
 I hope you like my card and feel inspired to enter our challenge.
Please join us this week with your card.


 
 
Sending Hugs

ICE SKATING - LILI OF THE VALLEY

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD OF 2014
 
I love Christmas and try to make as many cards as I can for friends and family. There's an autumnal feel to the air now and before we know it the colder weather will be here. I love to be warm and snug in my craft room, surrounded with pretty papers and glittery things. Bliss!
 
So, this is my first festive card using a Lili of the Valley stamp
 Ice Skating.
 
 

 
I used kraft card with some white Bazzill, adding some Joy Craft die cut snow flakes, then some pretty lace, ribbon and bead strings from the Ribbon Girl. A double bow holds two Lili of the Valley tags attached to a pearl brad.
 
 
I used Tim Holtz distress re-inkers to colour the image, on watercolour paper and added
copious amounts of Glamour Dust for ice and fur.  I love this cute image, it's a favourite of mine.
 
 
Hugs
