Happy Tilda...

Hi all. What have you been up to today? I've had my Girls home from school today...teachers on strike! My eldest son was in school though and has been on a Shakespeare trip to Stratford Upon Avon. So Me, the girls and little man paid my elderly Grandad a visit. He had a bad stroke a few weeks ago and today is his Birthday. 

Enough of my waffle, and on to my card. I actually made this a few weeks ago whilst messing about with Tim Holtz Distress Crackle paints. I painted several colours thickly onto Kraft card, and once dry, punched out some butterflies with my Martha Stewart punch. I highlighted some of them with Distress Stickles.

Other ingredients;

Happy Tilda rubber stamp,

Copics,

Scraps of DCWV and Pink Petticoat papers,

Making Memories metal sentiment (highlighted with brown Copic),

EK Success scalloped border punch,

Lace,

Brads,

Pom pom trim

Hope you like? It's late now....so a quick mooch around your blogs before bed.

A few challenges for this one;

Divas By Design - die cuts/punches

Flutter By Wednesday's - butterfly, fairy, angel

Scrapbook Sisters - summer fun

Truly Scrumptious - things with wings

Many thanks for looking!

I have had the stamp since before Christmas, but have only just got around to using it. Typical me, making Christmas cards in Feb. I was making summery ones in December - lol!

I am going to try and enter it for the Just Magnolia challenge http://justmagnolia.blogspot.com/ But I have no idea if it will link up or not. I am new to this lol! But I will try.

I have used a heart charm, and the sentiment features hearts too. The Christmassy flowers are Prima. I have used copics to colour. Faux stitching done with a white opaque gel pen. I have also used MS Doily punch, Elzybells kraft card & Basic Grey Wassail papers. Thanks for looking x

PS, if I have done this wrong, please let me know thanks x
