Tilda with Snow Heart

 

Hello Everyone,

So much has happened here since my last post, and not a lot of that was crafting.  My darling children are on holidays at the moment so the house is a hive of activity.  My eldest has recently competed in a group eisteddfod with her dance team, and competed for the first time with her duo routine.  I am so proud of her, there is know way I would be getting up on stage.  So very proud mummy here.

My darling son, he is a soccer fan, so last week he had training for 4 days.  He tried to convince me that it was this week to.... Gotta love him for his enthusiasm.

And my little monkey, we she has still been in her routine, but she is a rat bag at the best of times... She has become my little shadow, which is cute but when in a hurry, well that's another story.....

 

 

 

Enough with my little monkeys..... To craft!!!

 

Christmas is getting closer, at a rapid rate, or so it feels.  So with that in mind I decided to create some Christmas cards, before I run out of time.

 

I love this little Tilda image, and I have a thing at the moment for masking, so Christmas trees and Tilda with Snow Heart just had to go together.  I also used a new toy.  I found a snow marker pen and had a little play with it, adding a touch of snow to the trees and fence.

I have distressed the edges of the paper with ink, and the snowflake die.

Tilda and Mushrooms

 

Afternoon Everyone,

I have been on a big learning curve with this card creation.  Firstly, this was my first attempt at masking, so little to say there were a few trial stamps first. 

Then I had to learn some patience, to explain, I coloured my image and was very happy as to how it turned out.  But someone out there had bigger plans for my image.  I was adding my final touches for the stalks to the tulips and my LOVELY green copic must of been to full of ink and blobbed all over my image..... So little anger set in and I had to find my cool before I coloured again.

 

Finally we got there though!!!

I am sure I am not the only one this happens to ..

 

So, after all the dramas of crafting, here is my creation....

Edwin wants a hug!!

 Afternoon Everyone,  

I promised myself more craft time and I have managed to do it... My second card in a week and I have managed to post it and make the challenge deadlines.... So proud of me!!!

Some of the challenges this week were for Edwin so I found this beautiful stamp.  I haven't stamped this one before, not sure why, I think this stamp just got lost in the stash.... But had fun colouring this Edwin for the first time.

This card is a little bit of a multimedia card.. took stock from my scrapbook pages for inspiration.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges......

Simon Says - Stencil

Diva By Design - Anything Magnolia

Paper Take Weekly - For the Boys

Midweek Magnolia - Endearing Edwin

Sketch n Stash - Challenge 141

 

A close up of the detail created with the stencil and texture paste... As I used white texture paste, the design did not stand out as much as I hoped, so I went over the design with a black prisma color pencil and some gamsol.  

For this card I used.....

Magnolia - Edwin Wants A Hug

Paper from KaiserCraft & Stash
