Tilda in Lemon

Good afternoon folks, hope you are all well and not sweltering away like I am, aah to be back in good ole UK - no harm dreaming is there? Finally got caught up with all the shopping and laundry so just need to apply myself and catch up on commenting now.

Anyhoo, the challenge at Die Cut Dreams this week is

Tilda in Lemon

I have coloured Tilda with copics and prismas, adding touches of glamour dust for a bit of sparkle. Paper is from stock, used a couple of punches, corners are by Double Do and the beautiful roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts - these too got the glamour treatment, ooh I luv me sparkle!

Four Seasons – we would like to see cards that reflect, Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter

I have inked up James the Bear - Christmas Cracker and coloured him with copics and prismas, adding the necessary glamour dust for that wee bit of sparkle. Mounted him on a nestie added a few gems and the double corner dies are by Double Do.

Sentiment is from See D.

I really enjoyed doing a bit of paper`embroidery which I find so therapeutic.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Die Cut Dreams and this week we would like to see some

MATERIAL

on your creations but you must use material other than ribbon or trim to be in with a chance to win this weeks prize.

Bloomin heck hubby wasn´t too pleased when he saw I had cut into his shirt, poor darling does the ironing and said at least I could have let him wear it first, hey come on I didn´t want a sweaty bit o material - trust men!

I decided to cut the circular panel with my nestie and now wish I had mounted it onto white card - this shirt is/WAS so fine and the orange card does show through a bit but whey hey it is all in the aid of completing a challenge ROFL.

I have inked up Sailing Boat from Lili of the Valley and coloured with copics and prismas, these stamps are such a snip at only £3.75 each. I stamped onto the shirt with versafine to create the sails and again onto the orange card for the mast and flag. I also recycled some wire from a wine bottle to create the wee beaded dangly, added a cute wee yacht charm sent by a friend, spacer and brad all from stash. Backing paper is by Papermania and corners are Double Do dies.
