Tilda's Birthday Gift Bag

Urgh! What a horrible day today, windy and raining!

Never mind, i wasn't planning on going out so i'll just have to craft all day long, lol!

Here's a pretty little bag i made using a template (sorry i can't remember where i got the template).

I used Crafters companion's Centura Pearl CS and embossed some lines on using my Ultimate Pro.

I've used one of my older Tildas ( Tilda with small gift) and i've coloured her with Promarkers and added lots of glitter to her dress and glossy accents to her shoes. Used lots of bling, PM flowers and a ribbon bow. This is ideal for giving with a little gift inside!

Perfect for giving a little gift of crafty goodies!

It's Never Too Early.........

That's what i always say, lol! Here's a card i made using my new stamps from the Frou Frou collection from Crafters Companion,  i stamped the image with Versafine black ink, coloured the image with my Copics and DM's. I heat embossed around the edges of the image with Aged Ivory Fran-tage,  added a little bow (ribbon from my stash).

 DP is Melissa Francis' Classic Elegance which was a freebie paper pad in a Magazine.

Base card is a 6x6 linen card and blue matted card is by Coredinations
