Shabby Chic

Hi guys,

well I'm here, enjoying this horrible winter weather again, 

am I glad we went down south and got some sun,

we had a couple of days of twenty three degrees!!!!

forgot that still existed lol,

my neighbour said it's been like winter all this last week and she's had the heating on again!!!

as you know we went to Center Parcs and we saw about 20 deer just roaming around, I looked up one night having my tea and their were two on the path, so cute!

Well I'd better get on with my card he he,

Over at Basic Grey the theme this fortnight is for 

Shabby Chic

Did my title give you a clue???

This is my card Penilla did my blog look from,

as you guessed I made it before my hols lol,

Tilda is coloured using Distress inks, the cardboard she's sat on was from an old box which I stripped the back layer off the painted with Tim Holtz crackle paint,

Tilda is finished off with glitter as are the flowers but I've yet to master you being able to see this!

I've used up that gorgeous lace which I love and so must get some more,

My flowers are from WOC,the pearl strings are from Hobby craft, and the leaf I found in my stash, the gorgeous butterfly is of course a Prima one,

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this cheesecloth stuff lol,

the main card shape is a Spellbinders Grand Nestie, scalloped circle,

What fun I've had with Mr Blogger, not only did he keep my post for a while he lost my new blog page, kept my photo's on too large for it and changed all my colours that I'd altered so I've had to spend ages changing it all back!!! GRRRR

My First card for Basic Grey DT

Hi peeps,
Over at Basic Grey we have a lovely sketch for you this time, it's by our lovely Heather and it's fab,

I decided to use my new punch around  the page as well, which was fun as my trimmer cut the size slightly larger so of course it didn't match up correctly, after a lot of cursing I tried an old trimmer I had and it worked perfectly! what's the point of a trimmer that measures wrong!!! so needless to say I'm not a happy bunny lol!
right not what you wanted to hear! so I'll be good now,
My image is of course a Magnolia from the latest collection not sure what's she's called maybe Tilda with cake!!! do you think? lol
she's coloured with distress inks and I've added diamond glaze on her shoes, but I think you'll have to take my word for that he he,
the gorgeous paper are of course Basic Grey and are from the porcelain  collection 6 by 6 pad, just found out you can't get it in this size any more and I'm gutted!

As you can see my papers are stitched and distressed something I love to do, oh and I think if you look closely you may be able to see the glaze on her shoes after all lol,
The ribbon is seam binding that was part of a lovely birthday pressie from my lovely blogging friend Mandy, thanks hun I love them all,
Pearl gems, lace and roses from stash,

I think my shadows a little to dark on this image must remember for next time lol,
challenges
Fussy and Fancy ~ use something edible on your project
If the shoe fits ~ Birthday
All that scraps  Magnolia ~ Let's celebrate Birthdays

will check up later to see if there's any more,
Hope you all have a lovely weekend, hope to catch up with you soon,
