Paper Piecing

Hiya AGAIN!! Sorry!! but Im back again.!!hee hee
Todays card is one I have made for the Totally Tilda Challenge Blog. I entered their last Challenge and surprised to see I had won and their prize was to be their Guest Designer this next fortnight. So thankyou girls for picking my card. It really is an honour. :)... and I love taking part in your challenges.

For my card I have used Tilda with straw hat. The papers are Prima NEW Jack N Jill and were from The Stampman

The sentiment is from their sponser Lynne.

Ive even managed to slip Tim's pen nibs in there. I was determined to find a place for them!!. I also got these from The Stampman. Go check out Tim's Collection ,there's a great selection.

At the moment Ive a craze on Distress white Crackle paint 'Picket fence'. All i can say is WOW I lurrrvvvvvveeeee the stuff. I constanly have white fingers!!!!LOL

For once Tilda has been paper pieced together( well her Dress and Hat). It did feel strange not painting her!

The butterfly is from the GORGEOUS Pion Design Paper from Sweden and the flowers I have made myself!

Oh and the doily!!! I love that too, from Cherry Lynn Dies 'English Tea Party'.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge 91

Evening! or morning in Austrailia!!
There's another challenge on Maggie Down Under and this week it's NO DESIGNER PAPERS!! Yes you have to make your own backgrounds!!
I loved doing this(Sorry Girls!!) but I got the chance to get all inky and messy again and I dug out my Alcohol inks.

I went for more softer colours for this card using Pink Sherbert,Aqua and Juniper. I have done each of the three colours separately on the flowers and the background is mixed using the three. I then stamped using a Tim Holtz Stamp and embossed with white embossing powder.

Behind the flowers I have used 'Cheese Cloth' which Camilla sent me to try. It is like the Crinoline I used earlier on the shoe but a little thinner. it looks great inked too!

For more info on what I used go HERE

Alcohol Inks are all available from The Stampman

A Spoonful of Sugar-Tons of Texture
