TOMIC - Halloween + colour combo + bats!

Hey there everyone....

there is a new challenge over at TOMIC this week - and we have some extra special news to share...

head on over to TOMIC to check it out...

the challenge this month is:

Halloween + bats + colour combo = black, purple and orange.

Not being a big Halloween fan, we dont really celebrate it here in Aus, I used this cute little Tilda with her broom and went to town with some DIs to colour her.

The card is cut with Spellbinders and decorated with Doo Hickey dies and my bats are cut from Magnolia ink papers. The flowers and lace are all Wild Orchid Crafts.

The sentiment is from my friend Claudia.

All of the edges are inked with Tea Stain DI.

I had a lot of fun painting this little darling up. I hope you get a chance to visit TOMIC and see what the sad news is.

I would like to thank Kianel and the co-ordinators at TOMIC for a fabulous 18 months.

It has been a ball.

This is not the end.

Take care my Maggie friends,

have a fantastic week

(A big shout out to Janne!! take care Hunny!!)

See you all on the weekend

Hugs - Me xx

TOMIC #18

Hi! How is your week going so far? Mine has been very busy! But fun and very worthwhile. 

But onto business.... there is a new challenge at TOMIC today.  This week it is Magnolia's birthday! So there is an extra special secret prize for this challenge so you truly do not want to miss entering the challenge for your chance to win.... So what do you have to do to win? 

Make Anything but a card in a Halloween theme... 

Over here in Australia we don't 'do' Halloween but I did happen to have a couple of Halloween Magnolia stamps for the occasion ;o) I was cleaning out my pantry the other day and found an empty coffee tin that I remember storing in there because I thought it was cute and would come in handy for something one day and here it is... all decorated in Magnolia finery ready to be filled with lollies for a spooktacular Halloween.  

The gorgeous papers are Magnolia. The pretty little Tilda is from the So Spooky Collection from 2009.

For a little change I coloured Tilda in DIs. All of the amazing flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts.

The little spider stamp is also Magnolia but I am not sure which collection she is from... cute though isn't she?

Just another view of the top of the tin :o) Got a little snap happy haha.

And due to lack of Halloween sentiments, I stamped this sweet one from the A Little Yummy collection.

Its a bit difficult to see, but I've also stamped a little spiders web stamp around the edge of the image.

So! I hope you get a chance to make something fun and Halloweeny this week. Its a great chance to recycle something or make something off the page for a change. I've become a little addicted to altering things lately and I just love it, so come and join us at TOMIC.

I've got a busy few days ahead of me ....have a great week!

Tilda's Easter Egg Hunt

Hi! Happy Friday to you all :)

Today I have "Tilda with Lace Jeans" to show you. She is from the new Butterfly Dreams collection. I've masked her behind the cute little mini "Two Eggs" (Hoppy Easter collection 2010) and stamped the New Years Swirl (New Year collection 2008) around the edge of the image.

I have used the amazing "Pion Design" papers again that my gorgeous friend Louise sent me - thank you Hunni! I am loving them! I've used two Doo Hickey dies, "Peony Petals" and "Romantic Lace", there is some of Tim Holtz's film strip ribbon in there and some coloured seam binding ribbon.  The crochet doily is Kaisercraft.

You can see a little peek of the inside of the card - I've actually decorated it too for a change, lol, but I didnt get any pics, sorry!  The large curly rose and the aster flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The silver photo corner is actually a brad! Cute hey?

Tilda is coloured with Copics: Skin - E 13, 11, 000, 0000, R 20, 00; Hair: E 44, 23, 41, 0000; Overalls: B 95, 23, 21; Shirt: E 42, 41, 0000; Bow: R37, 22, 00, 0000; Shoes: E 44, 42, 41; Eggs: G 82, 000, 0000, R 35, 20, 00, 0000; Hue: B 52, 0000; Ground: W 3, YG 61

So thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today! Have a terrific weekend! 

Hugs,
