Tilda Spreads Thanks

Yayayay!! It is Friday! So... what does everyone have planned for the weekend? I have my fingers crossed for a lot of craft time, yes, like most weekends, but also hoping for dry weather so we can get a lot more gardening done as well. We have had an unusually wet summer so the garden has just been alive with weeds. The joys of having a large garden I suppose! So with a little bit of luck we should get ahead of them this weekend.
This card I am sharing with you today is actually one I began for last weekend's Magnolia Down Under Challenge "Anything but a square" but it just wasn't working for me in time so I made a different card instead. I finally got it finished though this week and can show it to you now. I don't like unfinished cards sitting around on my desk :)  If you still want to enter the challenge, you have until 8am tomorrrow morning... so about 12 hours to go!

This is "Tilda Spreads Love" from the You are So Special Collection. Oh my goodness - there were so many "must have" stamps from that collection. I do think I went a little bit overboard, but oh well.. it is fun to spoil yourself sometimes, haha.

I used my Cricut and the SCAL software to cut out the hearts for the heart shaped easel card. The papers are BG Olivia and there is a fair amount of stickles and rhinestones added to the card as well.

Thanks for dropping in :)

Be My Valentine Tilda

Good morning! It is Magnolia Down Under Challenges time again! This week we are looking for - "Anything but a square (or rectangle)".... I have gone with a label shaped card, cut using my Cricut and the SCAL software.

 This adorable Tilda is "Be My Valentine Tilda" from the You are So Special" collection. I was so tempted to use one of the new cuties from the Spring Club which arrived this week, but I had already coloured this Tilda and it was such a shame not to use her. I'm sure the newbies will be coloured and making their way to cards very soon! hahaha.

I've coloured Tilda with my Copics and have gone for a much softer look with my colouring. I have to say, this subtle affect is much more "me". The photos don't show it very well, but there is some Copic Spica at You "clear" on Tilda's flowers and the lace on her dress hem and hair.

The lovely papers are Websters minis.

The Magnolia Down Under Challenge "Anything but Square" challenge runs until 8am Saturday (Melbourne, Australian time) so please drop by and check out the fabulous DT inspiration and try your luck!

Thanks for visiting me today :)

Shy Edwin says Thanks

Ohhh - is this Edwin you spy? lol - yes it is!

I have finally inked up this sweet Edwin for a thank you card. A relative from overseas sent over a lovely present for one of my boys and I have been a little slow in sending her a thank you so Edwin here is winging his way over to The Netherlands to say thanks for us.

The layout of the card is pretty basic but I wanted Edwin here to be fairly prominent. The papers are a mix of the You are So Special collection and Hoppy Easter collection. The pretty ribbon has been sitting in my ribbon drawer for some time so I thought it should get some light. The cherry blossom and mini roses are form Wild Orchid Crafts.

Edwin's top is coloured with YG 95, 91 and E 0000 using the Tip to tip technique as there isn't a "YG90" lol. His pants are the E 40's.

Thanks for dropping by,
Hugs, Kylie
