Many Tilda's Lantern


Yes, i've used 4 Magnolia Tilda stamps on my little lantern creation!
I started by die cutting 4 Marianne D's lantern dies and for the base i used Marianne D's Lacy rectangle die and i also cut a MD tree die. I stamped up my 4 Tildas, 'Midwinter Tilda', 'Tilda on The Roof', 'Pixie Tilda' and 'A Joyful Tilda' and i coloured them all with my Promarkers and DMs. I added lots of flowers, a couple of feathers and lashings of  Snow-Tex.
I've taken pics of every side of the lantern so that you can see every cute Tilda i have stamped.

Stocking Tilda

I just love 'Stocking Tilda' from the new Magnolia Christmas collection!
For my card i used my Spellbinders Grand Nesties to create an easel card, stamped my cute Tilda and coloured with Copics and DMs, i also inked up my Magnolia ' Smooth Fir' tree stamp and added some Snow-Tex and fibre trim. Other dies used are Magnolia's 'Sprawling Ferns' and 'Poisettia' and Cheery Lynn's 'French pastry doily'. Lace is Melissa Francis, ribbons and bows are from my stash. I needed a button so i used one of my bark hearts from LLC, punched a couple of holes in and threaded some pink string through. Pearls are from my stash and Fran-tage is from My Crafty Heart.
I had so much fun making this card using, Frantage, Snow-Tex and my glue gun!

And Tilda is hanging up her stocking.
Yay! I've got a couple of the new Magnolia Tilda stamps and i decided to stamp and ink this one up first.

Also today i received my goodies from the Sandra at Live and Love Crafts and i've used some of them on my creation, 'Mini bark heart', 'WOC Cosmos daisy', 'White flower spray' and 'Snow-Tex'.
Other items used are crinkle edge ribbon, stocking charm, red berries and some Hobbycraft mini roses and some glamour Dust.
