Mystical Magic - OLL DT Card

Hello bloggy friends. 

Well, it is Monday again and that means it is time for another fabulous challenge at Ooh La La Creations.  Firstly, please let me say a big thank you for all the entries that we had for the last challenge.  Please stop by the Ooh La La Challenge Blog to see who our lucky winners were.  Remember, there is no Random Org here, the Design Team take it in turns to pick their favourite and two runners up - so if you won it's because we loved your creation!!

*************

So, onto the next challenge and this time it is:

MYSTICAL MAGIC

Here is the card I made for this challenge:

I have used images and DP from the Fairies and Blooms CD which you can buy here. The only extra embellishments I used were the four little purple gems at the corners and they are from my stash. Oh yes, of course the PATP is done by me too, with a little help from Martha Stewart, lol!

Here is a close up of the main image:

Please remember to stop by the rest of the Design Team and see their fabulous creations (links on the DT tab at the top of this page).  They have all worked really hard to offer you some inspiration, so please remember to leave them some love if you pay a visit.

Happy Thursday morning to you lovely peeps!

Time once again for a new challenge at Crafty Ribbons.

Thanks for all your fabulous creations on our last challenge, you really are a crafty lot aren't you?

(Clean and Simple)

and here is the prize on offer:

Don't they just look divine???

********************

So here is my project for this challenge:

This is a small card with a small image, small ribbon and small sentiment but lots of clean white space so I think it fits the CAS description ok.

The image is a Clarity Stamp and you can find it here.

It has been coloured with my promarkers and flexmarkers.  I used those fine nibs for the promarkers for the fiddly bits around the star signs.

The gorgeous yellow twill tape is of course from Crafty Ribbons and the sentiment is also a Clarity Stamp which you can find here.

So, small card, small description!! LOL

I hope you will find the time to join us this fortnight for our CAS challenge.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

So here is the card I made for the new challenge:

I have used one of Susie's fabulous circular die cuts for the base of my card.

This little Tilda is usually holding a parasol but I cut that off and added a cocktail stick and made a ribbon flag from a piece of silk edged organza ribbon from, of course Crafty Ribbons.

The image is coloured with Copics and I have chalked a pink background behind her.

I have added some pale pink seed beads at her feet for a bit of texture.

The rosette is one I bought on Ebay. 

The little tag is made from a piece of card I found in my bits box left over from a piece of punching I'd done. I just cut it to size and added the sentiment which is a Clarity Stamp.

So there you go folks, my simple little bunting card, hope you like it.

The image is coloured with Distress Inks, just for a change and cut out using my scalloped circle nestabilities.  I added a panel of DP to the side and used one of the gorgeous range of wire edged ribbon from, of course, Crafty Ribbons.

Clouds on the Horizon - TT #48

Hello bloggy friends.

I hope this Sunday finds you well and happy?

Well, as it is Sunday that means there is another new challenge over at the Totally Tilda challenge blog.

Firstly though, I would just like to say thank you for all your wonderful entries for the baby challenge and blog hop.  I hope you enjoyed your hopping around the DT blogs and left lots of comments.

Please bear with us whilst we choose our three winners and Candy winners as it is going to take a bit of time to collate everything.  Please come back on Tuesday to view the full winners post and candy winners post.

****************

So what are we going to tempt you with this time??

Well the new challenge is:

CLOUDS

Now you can use Die Cuts, Cloud DP, Cloud stencils, chalks, pens, pencils or whatever you like to create your clouds.  If you use Cloud DP and then cover most of it up can you please put a link to where you got your DP from so we can take a closer look!  Thanks!!
*********

So here is the card I made for the new challenge:

I have used a cloud shaped piece of card and chalked around he edges for my cloud effect.

I have also used a cloud background stamp - cut it in half and used a piece of either side of the step!!

I have used a Clarity Stamp for the little birds in the sky.

I have used two Tilda stamps on my creation, Lying Tilda and He Love Me Tilda both available from Sir Stampalot.

Both are coloured with my Copics.

I have added three bits of fencing (thanks Nana!!!)  and have added chalks to them all to give them a more weathered look.

The stamp at the bottom is from Clarity Stamp and is actually a tree stamp laid on it's side and stamped along the edge of the card.  The Magnolia tree was a stamped image from a friend!! She knows who she is, thanks a million hunni!!! xxx

So there you have it folks.

I am entering this card into the challenges at:

Tilda's Town - Use a Magnolia Accessory Stamp (Clouds and Tree)

Oh Baby and a Blog Hop

Well, hello all, time once again for another challenge at Totally Tilda.

This fortnight is going to be a bit different though.

We are soon going to be celebrating our second birthday and we have also surpassed the 1000 follower mark so we thought, what better way to celebrate and thank all you lovely Tilda fans than to have a very special blog hop.

Now the hop will run along side the current challenge for the next two weeks so you will have plenty of time to join in.

For this challenge - and this challenge only - you are allowed to use ANY Magnolia baby image - yes, even little Edwin!!

We have three super sponsors for the main challenge so that means there will be not one, not two but three winners as well as our Top 3.

On top of that there will be some surprise candy along the way so you won't want to miss out any of the Design Teams blogs because you just never know where the candy might be!!

So here is the card I made for the baby challenge:

I have used little Tingla (sweet isn't she??) and added her to one of Susie's fabulous die cuts.

I added four pieces of lace across the back of the image and the DP is Magnolia paper.  

The little shoes are from a Craftsuprint Sheet which I downloaded ages ago.  If you haven't been to Craftsuprint you really should as there are literally hundreds of designs to choose from to help you with your card making, knitting and other craft projects.  Click the link in my sidebar to take you straight there.

I used the shoes as the stopper for my easel and I added a rub on sentiment on to the base of the easel card.

**************

So there you have it.

So you should have come here right from the main challenge blog and your next stop will be to the fabulous Susie Sugar.

When you have finished the hop you will end up back at the main challenge blog so leave a comment there to let us know that you have completed the hop and entered your project into the challenge.

We will announce all the winners in a Winners Post on the Tuesday following the new challenge so remember to be a follower of the main blog so you don't miss the announcement.

Good luck everyone and above all, have fun.

hugs
