Pink Princess Tilda.

Hello all.
Well it's Sunday again and that means it is time for the new challenge over at Totally Tilda.
Please remember to hop on over to the Totally Tilda challenge blog and have a look to see if you were one of our lucky winners/Top 3.
Remember our winners and top three are chosen by Susie and the Design Team.
No random.org here! So if you won it's because we loved your creation.
************
Right on to the new challenge.
The theme for this fortnight's challenge is:
PINK PRINCESS TILDA
So that means you have to use a Tilda wearing either a crown or a Tiara and the predominant colour must be  Pink! Easy right??
This time we are lucky to be sponsored by:
The lovely Nikki
 And the fabby prize is:
Thanks Nikki for your continued sponsorship at Totally Tilda.
**************
So here is my creation for this challenge:
I used Tilda Princess of the Valley for my card this time, cute ain't she??
She is coloured with my copics and Polychromo pencils as is the gorgeous Wedding Rose Arch she is sitting on.
The gorgeous Tuille is some I bought from That Craft Place shop on FB. It really is lovely stuff.
It doesn't really show up on the pics but the background is chalked using my Pan Pastels.
The tag is a basic white one and I have used a Cat's Eye Chalk ink to colour it.  I have used the same little ink pad on the heart doily too. Now you see that gorgeous pink pin, well that was one of a set I bought at a fabby new little Etsy shop! See below for more deets!! 
I have used the same cat'e eye chalk pad to colour the step part of the card, I quite like the effect it gives because when you rub it over the card the actual little ink pad moves and gives those ripple effects.  That gorgeous little "corner" was also from my lovely, wonderful friend Mandy, thank you sweet thing. MWAH!!
The gorgeous big pink flower in the background is from a pack I have in my stash, can't remember now if they were from the Vintage Notes collection or not! Doh!
The flowers are from my stash.

*****
So as I said earlier in the post, Mandy has this new fabby new shop on Etsy so if ever you've seen her stuff and thought, "I wish I could buy that!" well now you can.
So there you have it folks, my Pink Princess Tilda.
I can't wait to see what awesome creations you all come up with.
Have fun.

Midway Reminder - Totally Tilda

Hello folks,
Just popped in to remind you that you have about a week left to enter the current challenge over at Totally Tilda.
This time the challenge is:
HEAT EMBOSSING
And don't forget we are sponsored by:
and the prize is:
So last week I showed you the first end of my desk tidy.
Well, here is the other end:
My heat embossing this time is the icing and little hearts on the top of the cake and the bow around the middle of the cake case.
I masked sweet Tilda so she could sit on top of the cake - hope her bottom doesn't get all sticky. LOL.
The cake is coloured with pencils and the cake case with my copics as is sweet Tilda.
The two flowers are made with the Tonic Die and Die pad sets and I think they are quite effective and so easy to do.
So peeps, I have glued the base to the tidy and I have started to add my bits and bobs in now.
So now I have no excuses for not keeping my desk tidy!!
I do hope you will be able to join in the fun for this challenge.
Can't wait to see your fabulous creations.

Anything Goes with Ribbon

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?
Please stop by the Crafty Ribbons Challenge blog and see if you were one of our handpicked top 3 or our Random Winner!
So, onto our new challenge.
This time the challenge is:
ANYTHING GOES WITH RIBBON
So here is my project for this challenge:
I have used a Clarity Stamp called Lily of the Valley for this card and simply stamped it in Distress Ink Peeled Paint. I have coloured just one of the leaves with a Promarker.
In the middle I have used the Clarity Stamp Best Wishes and stamped it once in first generation ink and then a second time slightly to the left in second generation ink to give it a shadow.
The gorgeous sheer organza ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.
I then used my Speedball Brayer to go around the edges of the white card with the same Peeled Paint Distress Ink.

If you haven't already entered my candy why not join in here.

Vintage at CCC

Hi all,
Just popped in quickly before the F1 starts to show you my Christmas Card for the Christmas Card Club.
This week it was Lizzie's turn to choose the theme and she went for Vintage.
Not really much for Vintage but I gave it a go anyway.
So here is my card:
I have used a cream glittery card as my base - that's why it looks different shades I think.
The image is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Christmas CD and is just matted onto some gold card.
I added some glitter to his coat and the holly on his hat just to give it a bit extra.
Nice and simple, quick to make and fits the theme! YAY
Right off to watch me racing now.
See you later.
Don't forget to enter my candy if you haven't already!!

Temperature's Rising!!!

Hello all.

Right on to the new challenge.
The theme for this fortnight's challenge is:
HEAT EMBOSSING
This time we are lucky to be sponsored by:

So here is my creation for this challenge:
I bought a desk tidy from That Craft Place's FB shop a while back and now that I have moved into me new craft room I would like to TRY and keep it tidy so decided to put this together and decorate it.
The musical notes and the word Music come with the kit so I embossed these with blue glitter from WOW.
I coloured Tilda with my Polychromo pencils and added one of the TH clock dies at the back.
I added some lovely blue ribbon to the handle and hid the glued ends by adding a little butterfly on each side of the handle.
I added some flowers from my stash and that was that.
So now all I have to do is finish the other end and then fill it up!
I'll show you the other end next week in the Midway post.
Can't wait to see how you incorporate your Heat Embossing but remember your creation must feature our lovely Tilda or it won't count!
Have fun.
