Snowflake Tildas

Hello everyone, today I have another card that covers three challenges; Just Magnolia has a monochrome theme this week, Simon Says Stamp has a sparkly theme, and finally Creative Card Crew Challenge 34 has a theme of snowflakes.


For my card I have used Tilda with Yulehat and Big Christmas Ornament from the Magnolia Christmas Collection 2008 and they are coloured with distress inks and hightlighted with loads of silver stickles to give some sparkle. The sentiment is from studio g and the papers and flowers are from my stash. It obviously doesn't show on here, but the paper is flocked and the snowflakes are so soft to the touch.... it broke my heart to cut the paper!!!


I have included another card in this post too as they are both very similar. On the second card the large present Tilda is sitting on is from the Magnolia Santa Collection 2008.


Supplies
Card/Paper: Blue and White card, DPs from stash
Stamps: Magnolia - Christmas & Santa Collections 2008
Colouring: Distress inks - tattered rose, worn lipstick, weathered wood, broken china, walnut stain, vintage photo. inkssential pen for highlights
Embellishments: Flowers, charms, chain, stickles, PM pearl brads
Tools: Cuttlebug, nesties, snowflake folder, corner rounder punch, MS snowflake punch, Fiskars threading water punch, water brush

Papertake 26 & Magnolia-licious CAS

Hello again, not often I post twice in one day!! I needed to make a few quick and easy cards and the sketch this week over on Papertake was perfect for the job. Magnolia-licious are also doing a CAS blog hop so I am popping these cards in there too!


For my card I used Summer Tilda from the Magnolia Lazy Summer Days Collection and I have coloured her with copics.... I still need loads of practice but I'm starting to get the hang of them! The papers are from basic grey and I have used my swiss dots folder for the embossing. The ribbon and jewels are from my stash.


As you can see I have made four CAS cards. The pink one and the yellow one both follow the Papertake sketch and the other two are just simple layouts. I paper pieced the trousers on the yellow one (not sure if you can really tell on the photo), as I started off with the intentions of colouring them pale yellow but they turned into this awful bright yellow that hurt your eyes when you looked at it!!! lol!!! So I turned to trusty paper piecing to cover up my mess!! lol!


Finally a close up of my pink Tilda.


Supplies
Card/Paper: Pink (Basic Grey - Lemonade), Yellow (from my stash), Blue and Purple (PM)
Stamps: Magnolia - Summer Tilda - Lazy Summer Days Collection
Colouring: Copics, Silver gel pen for the buttons
Embellishments: Ribbon, Jewels
Tools: Cuttlebug, nesties, swiss dots folder
