Vintage Tilda Card


Hi there, is everyone looking forward to the weekend! It started off frosty here in the NE of England but the sun came out and it's quite pleasant so i hope it's the start of a lovely weekend.
My card today is a birthday card featuring one of my favourite Magnolia stamps 'Tilda in Vintage Dress' and i've coloured her with TH Distress inks. I used my Spellbinders 'Floral Oval' die, cut with some lovely gold and silver card to mount her on. DPs are First Edition 'Dreamweaver'. I used Melissa Frances round pearls and lace, The Hobby House heart pearls and a handmade pin. I cut some Magnolia Doohickie lace flowers and cloud tag, ribbon and flowers ( which i glittered ) are from my stash.
I also cut some Whimsy banner dies, a Cheery Lynn corner die, MS border punch and added a metal butterfly charm.

Christmas With a Difference. He He!


Today's card is a Christmas card with a difference! Rather than go with a traditional design i made it for those of you who don't get snow but glorious sunshine and are able to enjoy cocktails by the pool or on the beach.
So jealous!
I've used one of my Crafters Companion UK 'Frou Frou' stamps and coloured with Promarkers.
