Tilda and her Bunny

Good morning! What do you have planned for your Sunday? I have to vacuum today, and do the grocery shopping, yuck, lol. Why can't grocery shopping be as much fun as clothes shopping? hahaha. Oh well, it has to be done and it is great when you've got a fully stocked fridge and panrty ready for the week.

This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we are getting all Shabby Chic! I've been poking around some gorgeous scrapbooking blogs lately and took my inspiration for this card from several ideas I've seen from those. I have used the adorable Tilda and her Bunny stamp from Butterfly Dreams Collection which was in the Spring Club set.

The adorable stamp is coloured with Copics: Skin- E 13, 11, 00, 000, 0000, R 21, 000, Hair - E 44, 42, 41, 0000, Green for shirt and bow: G 82, YG 61, Hat - R32, 30, 00, 0000, Pants - E 42, 41, 0000, Shoes - W 5, 3, 1, 0, Bunny - W 3, 1, 0, E 41, 0000, R 00.

The circle, leaves and flowers are cut using Doo Hickey dies from good watercolour paper. I have a heap left over from my pre-copic days. I just dabbed my green and pink ink pads on them and spritzed them with water so they had a light wash of colour. The paper is new Prima Spring Time and the large white flower is also Prima.  The label shape was cut on my Cricut using the SCAL software and a shape from SVG Cuts.

Here is the inside with the cute little sentiment from the Hoppy Easter 2010 collection. I've stamped the sentiment in Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

And my last photo is a litle bit dodgy, lol. I was holding the card directly in the sun trying to get the Spica pen to show in the photo. Tilda's pink hat is covered in Spica at You clear.

So that is my attempt at Shabby Chic. I'm sure I've missed an element here and there, lol, I think you're supposed to use some vintage lace as well, but I ran out of room on the card! haha.
Thanks for your visit! I love reading all of your comments, they really brighten up my day :)
Hugs! Have a wonderful weekend,

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,

Tilda with Stuffed Animal

Hehehe, yep, that is what she is called - Tilda with Stuffed Animal :) She's pretty cute isn't she? She is from the Butterfly Dreams collection and arrived in the Spring Club set. I just love how the Tilda's in this collection have hats on! Adorable. The gorgeous "Big Daisy" she is sitting on is from the Jingle Jangle collection, 2008.  LOL, yep, I had another go at masking. Ok, yes... getting addicted ;)

The lovely fresh papers are also Magnolia, a mix of Lazy Summer Days and Hoppy Easter. The sketch is from this week's Friday Sketchers.

Have you ordered your Easter edition of the Magnolia Ink magazine yet? You don't want to miss out! There is a copy on its way to me this week and I am a tad excited - there is some of my work in this issue - my first one! I can't wait to see how it turned out.

The card featured on the cover for this issue is by the talented Tina. Congratulations Tina!

Thanks for dropping in to see my card today. I hope to have something else to show you soon.
Take care
Kylie xx
