Princess Tilda

Hi!

I finally have a card posting for you all today. I have made some decisions lately and now that my knee is finally allowing me to exercise again, coupled with the fine weather that has arrived, I am putting myself a priority to lose the 20lbs or so I have gained over the last year due to my inactivity. I have been out bike riding and walking and loving it - and feeling so much more positive in myself for it too. With that being said, I will be limiting my postings per week and will post only when I can and not feel I have to post every day.

So here is the beautiful Princess Tilda, coloured in copic glory! I love the pretty colour combo on this card - the gorgeous pink paper is Papermania Capsule Collection (candy I won from Mandy). Ribbon, charm and flowers are all from stash and I used the MS branch punch. The little pearls in the corner just add a final finishing touch to the bottom corner.

I am entering this card into A Spoonfull of Sugar challenge this week 'Cute & Girly' and Cupcake Craft Challenges 'Blooming Charming!'. Just Magnolia is also 'One for the Girls' so this card is perfect for that!

Thanks to you all for stopping by and paying me a visit. I hope to find a little time later to blog hop and catch up on some commenting. Please leave a comment if you have the time - I love reading them and they really do make my day!

Take care and enjoy your day whatever you're doing and wherever you are!

Hugs,

A Spring Card for 3 challenges!

Hello friends!

Hope you're all well! My mojo is well and truly still in hibernation - I haven't been in my craft room for the last 4 days! My energy still feels low but I was determined to create something today and that I have!

I scoured some challenges and found I can enter this card into Magnolia Down Under 'Buttons, Flowers & Bows'. Although the main image is C.C. Designs the sweet little tweety bird and cherry paper is Magnolia! I followed a sketch from Stamp with Fun this week - I loved it - definitely a fun one to do! And lastly, over on A Spoonful of Sugar the theme is 'Springtime' - this is an unusual colour combo for me but I have to say I love it! I can also enter this into 'Totally Papercrafts' challenge this week which is 'Buttons & Bows'.

The image is from my dear friend Christine - thanks hun - she was definitely a sweetie to colour! I coloured with my copics. I cut the swing out and used twine to put it together on the card. I used the MS picket fence punch to create a sweet garden scene.

Thanks for popping by for a visit - I really love that you can come by! I haven't been hopping too much these past few days - hopefully I'll get to it a bit later so I can catch up on my commenting. Thanks for your comments - I so enjoy reading them!

Hugs,

Hugs & Kisses from Tilda!

Hi everyone!

I haven't yet used this gorgeous Blueberry Tilda yet from the 'Yummy for your Tummy' collection so I decided I should! I've used the fabulous sketch layout from A Spoon Full of Sugar for this week and I will also enter this card into the Copic Challenge 'Black'. This is the first time I've coloured black hair and it is quite challenging!! Needless to say I need lots more practice, lol!!!
The papers are from WRMK. I distressed the edges and sewed around the back panel. Cream silk ribbon, a couple of small Prima flowers and some pearl brads (that I won in Bev's candy) finish the card off. The sentiment is from Stampology (bought from Wal-Mart).

Here's a close-up of my colouring

Well, that's it folks. Thanks for stopping by and I always love reading your beautiful comments - they really do make my day!!

Hugs, Danielle x

Lilac Tilda .......and some awards!

Good morning friends!

I hope you're all having a wonderful day - we've woken up to blue skies and sunshine today so it should be a fun day for everyone! Today I have a card for you that covers a couple of challenges. The sketch is from Stamp with Fun - I've rotated it so it would work with my image of Tilda. And over on A Spoonfull of Sugar they have the theme 'Floral Fantasy' and I thought this card fit the bill perfectly!
I coloured Tilda using my copics and added 'Fuschia' flower soft to her basket of lilacs. The panel behind her is cuttlebug embossed using the Floral Fantasy folder. I used lace and lilac ric rac down the left side of the card and threaded the circle sentiment through (Just Rite stamp). The flowers are Prima Hydrangeas and I found these cute little lilac roses in my stash. I sprayed Tattered Angels pearl Glimmer Mist over them but it's not easy to see in the picture.

I have received these beautiful awards (sorry I've been slack in posting them). The Circle of Friends award was received from my beautiful blogging friend Linda, thanks Linda, it means a lot!
