my doll that I think looks like Tilda

I  have always wondered why I love magnolia stamps so much.
I bought this like musical doll years ago and my daughter
has a few too ,I think she looks like tilda and maybe this is why I
love my tilda stamps so much

diary


I found this diary really cheap yesterday in tesco so I thought
I'd jazz it up a bit . I used Tilda writing diary stamp and a pile of
covered books stamp, coloured in with promarkers.My favourite
die at the moment posy patch from spellbinder to make the flowers
and some paper and buttons from my stash . Funny how things
turn out ,the colour theme I had in mind when I started was
blues and browns ,  but as you can see it ended up RED , WHITE
and BLUE not even close to the colours I had in mind lol
Thanks for looking

baby girl

A friend asked I would make her a card for a baby girl
so I though I would blog it as I haven't had much to blog
lately. The stamp is Ellie from stamposaurus ,the papers
are printed from a polka doodles cd and the image coloured
in using flex markers and promarker

Tilda in summer rain


I thought it was time I started using some stamps that haven't even
been taken out of the packet let alone used (hangs head in shame)
I found this paper pack unused as well,the papers are from
forever friends pink parfait.I coloured Tildas face using
promarkers (Blush, dusky pink and pale pink for cheeks)
the boots and inside of umbrella was coloured in using copics
for Tilda dress and top of umbrella i paper pieced them.Also I
thought it was time to get the sewing machine out, a bit of a
chore as it reminds me of work lol, but I quite like the effect it
gives

water colouring with distress inks

Good morning ,no card to blog yet ,I've been busy with craftyboots DT
cards but I have found time to practice colouring and adding depth
with distress inks ( need to keep practicing ) I love my copics and
promarkers and wouldn't be without them ,but there is something
relaxing and therapeutic about water colouring.Hopefully I will
get a card done soon to blog.
thanks for looking
