And Now for Something Completely Different!!!

Hello all!! Well here is something completely different!! I used and old sweetie tin, primed and then used Tim Holtz Ditress Crackle Paint, distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Ink. The Butterfly Paper, ticket and stamp are all from Kaiser Craft, i won them for entering my LIIU DT Think Pink Tilda. I punched a hole in the ticket and tied a knot with string, finally i added some lace around and tied a bow. Hope you like my little Gift Tin!!

Oh Christmas Tree!!

Good Sunny morning from the North East of England, i'm still decorating but taking breaks to craft!! My head is done in with the smell of gloss!! Also you still have 91/2 days to enter my Christmas candy!!
My card today is using Magnolia's Midwinter Tilda and Sweet Christmas Dreams Sentiment and i've coloured her with Promarkers and put her onto a mat and layered card which i've embossed with different folders. I've glittered the tree and Tilda with Glamour Dust and added pearls from my stash. The Buttons were recycled from an old blouse and i made a double bow using my bow maker The Pearl pin is from WOC and the charm is from my stash.

Masking at Totally Tilda

Well folks it's time for another challenge over at Totally Tilda and the theme is MASKING.

Now just in case you don't know, when we say Masking, we mean we want you to use two images on the same creation.  That means stamping one image on a scrap piece of paper (I use post-it notes and make sure you stamp up the sticky end). Then you stamp your image on your card, cover it over with the "mask" you made on your post-it note and then stamp your other image over the top.  When you remove your "mask" you will find that you have two images that look as though they were made as one! (Well that's the plan anyway).  Good luck.

If you want some pictorial guidance then why not pay a visit to Christine's blog as she has a tutorial that you can follow.

I copied this from our Crafty Kitten and you can check out her sneaky peak HERE
