2nd post of today lol

Hi guys,  the sun is shining here and it's lovely and warm but there is cloud, so no sitting out as they are quite dark looking clouds and they do cover the sun too, oh well, good excuse to sit in the craft room,

As I said Jims off this week, and my mojo had gone walk about but today I found it again and have made this card lol,

I've followed the sketch from Simon says stamp and Magnolia down under want stitching and swirls, well I usually machine stitch my cards and I love my swirls so no problem lol,
I've masked Tilda and the window,

my images are coloured with copics, and the front one has been cut out and fixed on with sticky dots,

Isn't she cute!

The backing paper is from the latest Jack n Jill collection and has bits of red on so I've picked that out with Tildas dress,
the little plant pot is from my stash that I've had for years!

Challenges

see you soon,
love and hugs Liz xx

What a Fantastic New Year

Hi peeps,

Well I'm so loving 2011 already, so many lovely things are happening this year, will tell you more about that much later on he he,

This calendar was going to be a tent card, then I found out Magnolia down under wanted a calendar and I thought oh that's a good idea so I changed it into that instead lol,

I was in a masking mood so I've masked Tilda onto the swing and  Tilda onto the fence,
Tilda on the swing swings too, when she's not up on the wall lol,

Cutting out Tilda on the swing was fun! and adding tiny rings and not breaking the card was too, but it worked he he,

the branch I stamped and coloured twice then stamped again for some of the flowers to be 3D, the branch is layered on foam pads and the flowers are with Pin Flair Gel,

Here's a close up of the branch,

All images are coloured in Distress Inks, including the background,

The grass is a small wooden stamp I've had for ages which I just stamped direct from the ink pad to give deeper colour,

The calendar I bought ages ago from the Range and forgot I'd bought, oh Err, wouldn't have waited till next year would it lol,

The tag is a Magnolia Doo Hickey, distress with DI's , the Discover stamp is from a travel clear stamp set I've had for years, yes another forgotten stamp lol,

flowers are from WOC, and the craft range, these I have added Glamour Dust to,

Papers are Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby, Still with me phew!
