Tilda with Big Tulips

Good evening blogger friends.

I hope you are all well and having an enjoyable week. 

We are having a very expensive month as we have had a massive bill for the boiler, four new tires for the car and a locking system for the front door. 

Hey ho - its only money!!! Scary though as I need to save up some money for the NEC!!!

For my card today I am again using my favourite Magnolia image "Tilda with Big Tulips".

I have made a criss cross image after being inspired by Teresa's fabulous creations. Teresa has a fabulous tutorial on this card so please take a look. 

I have coloured the image with my distress markers. The pearl embellishments are all from The Hobby House. 

The pearls and the bling in the middle of the flower are all from The Hobby House. The pearl string has been cut to make a thinner string which is on the two diagonal strips. The complete string is along the top of the lace.

The flowers are from WOC and Live and Love Crafts. 

A product listing will be at the end of this post. 

My favourite Die at the moment - A Doo Hickey.

Tilda with Big Tulips

Hello friends.

Hope you are all having a good week. Russ has gone to the NEC this evening to take down the stands from an exhibition for his works so I am having a relaxing evening on my todd. I have made some soup with my new Soup maker (Tomato and Red Pepper) - delicious. Later on I am going to watch Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Has anybody watched it? All this will be washed down with a lovely bottle of red wine. I do know how to look after myself!!!

For my card today I have used Tilda with Big Tulips - this has to be one of my favourite stamps.

A full product listing with links to the supplier will be at the end of this post. If I have missed anything and you would like to know details, please just ask.

I am really not happy with my photos. I used to use PhotoScape but after having problems with 2 of my laptops (needing new hardrive) I am so reluctant to download it again in case it was this that caused the problems. I don't think for a minute it was but I daren't take any chances. Has anyone had any problems with Photoscape just to reassure me.

I have coloured her with my Distress markers my favourite colour Victorian Velvet.

          

The flowers are a mixture from Live and Love Crafts and WOC. The sparkly embellishment is from The Hobby House.

 I have added a love heart metal embellishment on the bottom right from Live and Love Crafts and added Frantage to it. Love these.

 The butterfly is from Joy Crafts - I have cut this and used just one of the butterflies on the right and one behind the flowers on the left.

Tilda with Big Tulips.

Happy New Year blogger friends.

I hope you are all well and not suffering from lack of sleep as I am. It was my friends 50th birthday on New Years Day and to celebrate this she had a party last night. It was a lovely evening but we had a rather late night and I had a very early morning. I am suffering this morning which  I can assure you has absolutely nothing to do with the wine!!!

I am showing you today the card I made for her. The photos do not do the card justice.

I have used Tilda with Big Tulips.



She is coloured with Distress Markers. Love this bright pink.

The pink flowers on the left are from Anne Marie Designs but I cannot find the link to them on their website.

The white butterfly and picture frame are made from Martha Stewarts modelling clay.

I was having a very lazy day on New Years day and because I didn't receive any crafty goodies for xmas, even though hints were given, I bought myself some pressies. Naughty naughty Sharon.

They were from WOC and Live and Love Crafts. Love these two shops.

I am going to purchase some more goodies next month from Live and Love crafts and you lovely followers will have the chance of winning them.
