Lady in Red

Well blog friends, we have now got thunder, lightning and rain, yuk!
Well you know what that means, if i can't go in the garden i will just have to carry on crafting, lol.
I have made this VERY clean and simple card, not my usual style at all.
I used an image from the lovely talented Darla and i have coloured in with promarkers, got a scalloped card and embossed it using Papermania star folder, put a of holographic peel-off (from my stash) down each side. Added a Papermania dahlia red flower, a couple of pearls on the boots and finished off with a sentiment rub-on from Sissix.

Tilda's Galore Easel Card

Well blog friends, the sun has gone into hiding again and living near the coast means a breeze feels more like a strong wind. Never mind it has given me the chance to finish my card for a few challenges. I have made an easel card and this is the first attempt at real stitching on a card, i've always opted for faux stitching but it has never looked good enough, so i hope my efforts with a needle and thread are better.

I have used 4 Magnolia stamps, Wishfull Armchair, Kissing Tilda, Tilda with Small Gift and Tilda Opening Her Present and these were all coloured with Promarkers. Striped paper by Forever Friends distressed with Distress Crackle Paint which i bought from ebay. Sentiment from Sentiments 4 You Glitter glue is Frosted Lace Stickles. Jute ribbon from Bunny Zoe's Crafts and pink ribbons, tag and beads from my stash. Prima flowers which were stitched. Tools MS deco fan PATP and Spellbinders beaded ovals die. Cotton doily from my stash.
