I have coloured Tilda with copics and prismas and just had to add a bit glamour dust to her dress. Papers are from Bearly Mine Designs and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts .

Totally Tilda #3 - Stitching

Good afternoon peeps, hope you are all well and enjoying a relaxing weekend. We had a fabulous holiday in UK but the time just flew by and we weren´t ready for our return to Spain. It was wonderful to see and play with our grandsons´ but unfortunately we didn´t have time to visit our eldest,Ryan. Let´s hope we can sell up and return to UK permanently.

Anyhoo onto today´s card, Totally Tilda have set the theme for

Stitching
So we want to see lots stitching on your creations be it real or faux.

I decided to get my needle out and enjoy a bit of hand sewing, pattern is by Chris Bosman and I think perfect for this Tilda. I coloured with prismas and chalks and punched all the corners. Paper is from an old pad by Papermania and flowers from where else but the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts, their service is fantastic and I brought another order home with me.

Challenges:

Everybody Art Challenge - In the Garden

Paper Cutz - Anything goes

Fairy Fun Friday´s - Punch It

Totally Tilda #2

Good morning folks, hope you are all well. Gosh where have the last 4 weeks gone? From today Totally Tilda are going fortnightly, wow we were overwhelmed with the amount of beautiful entries for Challenge #1 and hope you will all come back and play again with our new challenge.

We are very fortunate to have Bert Pickles AKA Fairy Prairie join our DT, welcome onboard sweetie - and also a warm welcome to Katie who is our Guest Designer this challenge.

We are also very lucky to be sponsored by the lovely Nikki from Bunny-Zoe Crafts and the Prize for one lucky person is;

Our challenge for this fortnight is to

Make a SHAPED CARD

But NO Squares OR Rectangles and NO Easel cards.

Susie gave the DT some of her new die cut cards on stands to play with and they are now available in her shop at Die cut Dreams and what a dream they are to work with.

I challenged myself to make use of my neglected punches and really enjoyed myself. They are just normal punches, not circular, and the best way I can describe their use is to cut a 5 or 7cm circle in centre - depends on pattern spread of the punch, it really is a case of trying for yourself. I then punch at 12, 6, 3 and 9 0´ clock then twice inbetween each of these.

I have coloured Tilda with copics and prismas and cut her out, ooh that stem did test my patience rofl. Roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I don´t think you can go overboard with them - they are so addictive, memo to self ... place another order. Sentiment is from Stampin Up, cut with my nesties and layered onto another punched shape and that´s about it lol.

Challenges:

Crafty Ann´s - Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer
Crafty Creations - Summer Lovin´
Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes
Cute Card Thursday - Texting Crazy
One Stop Craft - Patterns
