Tilda Ballerina in Pink

I must say when I saw that challenge for 7 kids College Fund Challenge blog, I let out a happy giggle. The challenge is pink and flowers. I almost feel like I am cheating because I happen to LOVE both. I made my card for my youngest daughter who has been asking me to make her a pink ballerina card.



I colored Ballerina Tilda with copics and added stardust stickles to the bodice and trim of the tutu. Tilda was popped up on the oval which was embossed with a flower cuttlebug folder.

Here is a closer view where you can see a little of the sparkle

Celebrate

I just received this absolutely adorable Tilda stamp the other day and I just could not wait to ink her up. She is called Tilda with Balloon from the Magnolia You are So Special collection and they are now in stock at 7 Kids College Fund. All the stamps in this collection are super cute but this one is my favorite. Isn't she sweet?



I colored Tilda with copics and I inked the edges with Tattered Rose distress ink. Then I gave my card some sparkle by adding my favorite Stardust Stickles to just about everything- Tilda's bow and trim on the dress, edges of the papers, and the tips of the roses.

7 Kids Challenge #14- I {heart} you!

It my turn to host the on the 7 Kids Challenge blog. The theme that I chose is I {heart} you! So use hearts somewhere on your project. Check out my sample below:



I colored Tilda with Hearts with copics, and accented her dress trim and wings with stardust stickles. I used a silver spica pen over gray copics for the ground. I also trimmed the heart sentiment with stickles. The white strips across the middle were embossed using the polka dots 5X7 cuttlebug folder. I love this new larger size! I also added some stickles to the raised dots.

Love You Snow Much

I think this adorable Snowy Hug is one of my favorite Magnolia images! Good news too, it is now back in stock at 7 Kids College Fund. It is colored with copics and then stickles were used for the snow and on the trim of the hats and coat. I also used a spica clear glitter pen around the snowman but that is not showing too well in the photos. Around the edges of the patterned paper, I used picket fence crackle paint. I really like the look of it but I need to improve a bit in my application of it. Also, I found out that the crackle paint chips off when I sewed after applying. So, I will either not sew when I use it or maybe try to apply after sewing.

Blingy Tilda

Hi there! Let me just say that I LOVE everything that sparkles, shimmers, and shines! However, I did not originally plan for my card today to have so much bling lol.



I chose to make an easel card again (LOVE them) and it is for my friend Kathy. I was blessed to be able to stamp some of her Tilda images (today's included) and now I am hooked. I even placed my first Magnolia order today also. So, rather than the sentiment saying "you inspire me" it should say you enable me lol. Just kidding...Kathy does inspire me with her awesome work and you should definitely visit her blog. Anyway, dinner Tilda is colored with copics, stickles added to the outfit, rhinestones for the jewelry, and white gel pen for accents. I masked off the swing to create a scene with clouds. To make the clouds I used a piece of acetate as a stencil that I die cut with a scalloped oval and sponged ink over it. I colored some of the bridal flowers with my copics and blinged them up too.







Supplies:
stamps- dinner tilda, verve thoughtful florals and thankful accents, High hopes swing stamp
paper- DCWV citrus pack, pumpkin, neenah white from paper temptress
accessories- rhinestones, copics, oval and circle nesties, sewing machine, bridal flowers

Challenges that I am entering this card in:

Just Magolia- sketch and thank you twist
Magnolia Stamp Lovers- to create a scene
Magnolia Down Under- masking
SCS Ways to use it- patterns
ABC Challenge- S is for sparkle (got this one covered I think lol)
KL Stampin N Scrappin- bling

Thanks for looking and have a fabulous day!

My First Magnolia!

Hi there. Now, you have not come to the wrong blog, you hear it correctly- I have given in and used my first Tilda image today. I have been pretty much been resistant to using them until now. So, while I was in PA I was blessed to be able to stamp some images that my friend Kathy had. So without further ado, I bring you my first Tilda card- Princess Tilda....



I was really out of my element for this card because I was going for the shabby chic look. Hopefully I pulled it off. I colored the sweet image with copics and then when over it with a spica pen. I used stickles on her crown. I distressed all the edges with scissors and sewed them. I also further distressed the card base and the image panel with walnut stain distress ink. I used a flower punch for the big flowers and sanded their edges. The smaller flowers on top of them are the Michaels white bridal flowers which I colored pink with my RV10 copic marker. When the card was finished (which took me forever btw) I sprayed the whole thing with Diamonds glimmer mist to give the whole thing shimmer.

can you see the subtle shimmer?


I actually participated in 4 challenges with this card. The first is Cute Card Thursday which was to make a monochromatic card. The second was the Friday sketchers so my layout of this card was their sketch for the week. The third challenge was from the Just Magnolia challenge blog and it was to use punches on your project. The fourth was the Stamp Something challenge was was to stitch/sew on your creation, which is something that I like to do quite frequently on my cards.

Supplies:
stamps- Magnolia Princess Tilda, Verve Circular sayings
CS- memory box dp, white Neenah, kraft
accessories- copics, sewing machine, pearls, flower punch SU, bridal flowers, glimmer mist, grosgrain ribbon, circle nesties

So, what do you think?? Hope you liked my card for today and I am very blessed that you stopped by. Have a wonderful day!
