Mad For Markers Current Challenge - Create A Scene

Hi, nice to have you here again, but don't get too close! I have caught the flu off my youngest son and we are a right pair at the moment, coughing and sneezing and aching all over. Not good!

I'm running a bit late with this card too, I meant to have it ready to show you earlier today but I just haven't been able to get myself organised.

Mad For Markers has a fantastic challenge running at the moment to CREATE A SCENE

This was fun, I really enjoyed creating this card.

I used Jam Tilda and I drew in the brick wall, balloon and present with a black marker.

Dusting Off Tilda

.
Hi

A while ago I was so excited to get my very first Tilda stamp. I had been wanting her for so long. I barely got in the door before I was tearing open the envelope and racing down to my craftroom to ink her up.

Well, since then of course other things have come up, new images to play with etc etc and poor Tilda has been sitting there on my stamp shelf looking all forlorn wondering why I dont love her anymore............. Please tell me I'm not the only one guilty of this kind of neglectfulness.

I do of course, still love her that is. What is there not to love about the super sweet Tilda images after all.

I decided to show her a little love today and came up with this friendship card.

Tilda is coloured with Copics as are the flowers. I also gave the flowers a spritz of Glimmer Mist.

Papers are all from Stampin Up! (retired now I believe).

I am linking my card up with the following challenges:

Mad For Markers - Pink Copics

Just Magnolia - Anything Goes

Stamp Something - Something Cute

Your Next Stamp - Anything Goes

I also want to remind you all that you still have a few days to link up your creations to my new weekly Linky Party "Make It Monday".

This is not a challenge, there is no theme to follow, simply link up your creation be it a card, scrapbook page or altered item, anything really. It doesn't even need to be a new creation. Want to revive and old post from way back? Then link it up so everyone can come on over and check it out.

You can submit as many creations as you like. It's all about sharing the creativity and inspiring others.

Just remember to Link back to the actual post not just your general blog link and also add a link back to here so others can join in the fun.

Jam Tilda - Regal Rose and So Safron

.

Hi

Wow, a whole week has almost gone past again and I have not done much crafting at all.

But I have managed a card tonight that I am quite happy with. It came together very quickly (love it when that happens)

I decided to try my hand at getting a little more creative with my flower this time instead of just using them straight out of the punch so to speak. I used three different sized scollop circles of So Safron cardstock for this flower and inked around them with SU So Safron Ink. I then cut almost to the centre at each scollop all the way around the large one. Using my bone scorer I rubbed the underside of the large scollop circle to give it more of a curled shape and then layered the two smaller ones on top securing them together with a brown brad.

Both the flower and the matted imaged are popped up on dimentionals.

The ribbon is a white satin? ribbon that I coloured with a SU So Safron marker an idea I got from my friend Edna. Pop on over and check out her blog she makes the most stunning cards.

I created the white strip under the ribbon using the SU eyelet border punch and I also used this punch to create the corners for the image.

Tilda's skin is coloured with Copics and the rest is done with water colour crayons.

After noticing a VERY big smudge on the inside of the card (how I missed it before I started working on the card I don't know!) I decided to decorate the inside of the card too.

 

Linking this card to:

Just Magnolia - In The Garden ( hoping floral BG and one big flower makes it fit!)

Thanks for stopping by today to take a look.

My first Magnolia card

.

Hi

Well, it's been a long time coming but I've had so much fun making this card.

After a full day of cleaning house getting it ready for another inspection (we're still up for sale!) I couldn't wait to get in to my craft room tonight.

I got to use my recent Mother's Day present of the Jam Tilda stamp and skin tone Copics.

I used  E000, E00, E11 and R20 Copics to colour Tilda's skin and the rest was coloured using my Lyra Water Colour Crayons.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

OSCC #81 - Birthstones - Pearls are birthstones right??

Stamp Something - 2 of something - 2 ovals behind Tilda

My birthday blog candy is still running click here to enter.

Thanks for stopping by today.
