Friends, fill your life with smiles

Hi guys, hope your all well and having a gorgeous time, the weather here is beautiful and has been all week! yeah summer did come to us at last lol,

it's time for the  Totally Tilda challenge and the theme this time is

distressing, something I love to do,

I've masked Tilda in the window to start with, then colored her with distress inks, love the soft colours you can get with the pads, which I use

the edges of the circle and the main card are coated with picket fence crackle paint too,

I think you can just make out the hint of glitter on her hair band, and hearts on the window shutter,

I've cut out this image which is another of my faves, and layered her onto a die cut flower which has been  layered onto a hint of cheese cloth, which is over the Doo Hickey fence die, which again has been stamped on with another Magnolia flower stamp,

her top, hair band and snail have hints of the glitter too lol,

my card is finished off with a Doo hickey heart swirl, fancy corner which again has been distressed with crackle paint and a butterfly charm which I cut the top circle off distressed with crackle paint and pink pearl liquid and of course more cheese cloth lol,

my papers are machine sewn,

A gift tag for you!

Well three actually lol,

because the challenge today over at Totally Tilda is for three tags each with a Tilda on,

now some of my teamies who have all made the most gorgeous tags ever, have used the same Tilda, others have used the same tags, can't wait to see what you do though it will have to wait till I get back from my hols next week,

any way here's mine

as you can see I used the same tag die  which is a Go kreate one by the way and I have used different Tildas,

I can't belive I made a xmas tag in May, I don't do xmas till November as you already know lol,

I coloured my images with copics, cut them out and layered them, I used a tiny piece of corrogated card board from an old box and added some white acrylic paint to it before attaching that as some where for Tilda to sit on,

her fur trim, laces, and snow are all sparkly with glamour dust, which of course again you can't tell, see I told you I needed more practise!

For this tag I have used my new bunting stamp, the royal wedding had a hand in this as I was thinking of what I was going to do and it came into  my mind,

This one is of course influenced by Kay being pregnant, got my mind on babies a lot these days he he,

Again she;s coloured with copics,

the flowers are a Magnolia Doo hickey die and the heart  charm says a new blessing, hope she's saying that when it wants feeding in the night,

still it kicks her at one a  clock in the morning most nights at the moment, so may be she'll be used to it by then,

well I hope you like my tags, look forward to seeing yours, 

catch you later,

love and hugs Liz xx

ps, I have candy!

Mid Week Easter special

Hi peeps,

 This is a treat bag I've done for the Totally Tilda Easter challenge, you still have another week,

I made this using a bag that's supposed to take cards when you've finished them but it worked perfectly for this when I cut the length down a bit he he,

Just look at those yummy mini Easter eggs!

Tilda is coloured with copics, the sentiment stamp is another gorgeous one from Lynne at 

sentiments 4 you

border punch is  Martha Stewart ,

I made the tiny eggs at the bottom using one of the smallest oval nesties which I then coloured again with copics,

As you can see there is a feather on there too,

My papers are distressed and a strip of ribbon has been added,

Challenges
