Managed to do some crafting today inbetween doing the housework! For this Tilda I coloured her in using H2Os and IRL she does look like she is wearing a sparkly dress but I can't seem to get that to show up on this photo.

Valentine Tilda

Today I got to ink up some more of my new magnolia stamps. I have had the doilie hearts forever, they were originally intended for a scrapbook layout and have been just sat collecting dust. These were just the right size for a card and I couldn't resist making a couple of valentine cards with my new valentine Tilda. I have left space at the bottom of each card to add a sentiment, for some reason I do not have a Happy Valentine stamp! I will have to visit Michael's or Hobby Lobby to get one very soon! Sorry about the photo the light isn't very good today, for some reason and poor Tilda looks a little anemic!!!

I stamped the Tilda's on watercolour paper using permanent ink and I then I coloured them in, using Tim Holtz distress inks, the papers are both Wild asparagus, added some ribbon, blossoms and brads.

Thanks for looking and for all the comments I have received recently, they really make my day:-)

Magnolia, House Mouse (TECC52VC), RAK Image

I have quite a bit to show you all today!! 3 cards in one day, talk about on a roll LOL.

The first one is using one of my new magnolia stamps I received yesterday, this was such fun to colour. In a rush to get a card made with it I kept it really simple, but I still think it looks lovely, I think all the magnolia cards that I have seen online are, you really can't go wrong with these images!!! I stamped the image on watercolour paper and I coloured the image using Tim Holtz distress inks and used my sewing machine again, DP used is wild asparagus and I also used a scrap of pink paper that I embossed using the Swiss dots folder, added a prima flower and brad and lastly some bling for a little sparkle.

Next up is a card for Taylor's cup cake challenge (you can read all about it in a previous post) This sketch was by Vicki. A really easy sketch to make a card with and I completely messed up and ended up having to do a bit of a bodge job on it, can you tell? I hope not!!! The image is a stamp by House Mouse. The dot paper and the paper that is punched with the Martha Stewart doily punch is Wild asparagus. The rest of it is ribbons and I added some bling as something was missing in that space and I didn't know what to add, a girl can never have enough sparkle so that is what i opted for!!! The sentiment is a $1 studio G stamp, which I think fits the house mouse stamp perfectly!

This card is made using a wrak image (Bronc Buster) that I received from a lovely lady called Pauline (aka Meisu4) on SCS, I really love this image and would love to get hold of this stamp set some time! All I did was ink the edges of the image, layered it onto Burgundy card stock that I cut using the cricut and accent essentials cart and then added a strip of paper and adhered the wanted sentiment (also from the Bronc Buster set) with pop dots to raise it slightly.

Thanks for looking and I would also like to say thank you for all the lovely comments I have received lately, they are much appreciated.
