Love is Timeless

Hi guys, I've still got my cough and  sore throat but at least my headaches gone lol,

Today's the day for a new challenge over at 

Totally Tilda

and this time it's 

VALENTINES WITH A COLOUR COMBO OF

RED AND PINK TOGETHER,

I thought I'd use my tag template again and of course the gorgeous Sissix weathered  clock die from Tim Holtz, 

my image is a older Tilda called right through my heart and it came from Simon says Stamp, fab service by the way, I just love her as she's so easy to colour, though I must admit I coloured her when I hadn't used my distress inks for a long time,
as you know I don't like leaving a border around my cut out stamps so for the bow string I added a little raffia instead, the arrow is a Tim Holtz spinner,

Paper is by Magnolia the heart die cuts are by Marianne,
the gorgeous mistletoe die is a Magnolia Doo Hickey and I thought why only use it for Christmas when it's usually for love!
flowers, pearls, ribbon  stash,
my usual hint of grunge is on here too, not too many embellies on this one lol,

Challenges
Oldie but a goodie ~ Have a heart
Anything goes ~ To the one I love
Simon Says Stamp ~ Anything goes
Simply create too ~ Love is in the air
Simply Magnolia ~ Hearts and more hearts

well peeps hope you'll join in the fun, can't wait to see what you come up with,

OH Err!

Hi guys, I've just noticed for some strange reason my last post has posted twice! duh,

so your not seeing double although maybe I am as I have a sore throat, sore head and flippin cough, so I'll catch up with you as soon as I can,

hugs Liz xx

Tilda's having a party!

Hi guys, gosh is it Thursday already! how the time flies lol,

of course that means it's a new challenge over at 

Paper Play and this week we want 

lovely Lace,

Now as you know I'm into my distress inks at the moment and I usually use the pads, well me being me had to try the re-inkers too, usually when I see gorgeous creations done with the re-inkers I think the colours look deeper more vibrant, so guess which is done in re-inkers! I will let you know at the end of the post lol,

any way for the other stuff I have made my stepper card making my own steps on my usual square base card as you know I do, only this time I've done two steps,

I've used a  Doo Hickey fence die and flowers on the front row along with a Marianne die to create the centre flowers, the Doo Hickey heart swirl die is by Magnolia too, butterfly punch wood ware, and a lace  butterfly which I cut out of a lace strip I bought from a market,
Tilda with balloon is from the You are so Special 2011 collection and I have used craft wire for the balloon string,

the inner step has more of the white rose lace, and yet more of my hand made flowers too, this time I've used a Doo Hickey grass die and I've sat Tilda with Ponytail from the Sweet Rainbow collection on one of the flowers,

For the main card I masked Tilda with big ribbon onto the Romantic  window stamp, both are from the You are so special collection and cut out the shape with my new postage stamp nestie die cut,

there is another type of lace strip down the side again from the market,

the papers are also by Magnolia and are machine sewn, doily stash and a Doo Hickey cloud die has been used with a Stampavie sentiment stamped on,

I've used another gorgeous lace butterfly on the top right of the main card too,
