I'm Back!!!!

Hey I'm back, twice in one day with a third card lol,

I fancied making a card a bit different from my usual style, ie no distressed edges with a tool and no stitching lol, has it worked or should I go back he he,

I've made the card for the Magnolia Down Under challenge which is to use Heavy Metal,

I've used my favourite Tilda and coloured her with Copics, my poor Distress inks will think they've been forgotten about !

Now I couldn't leave my edges plain could I so they are distressed with Tim Holtz crackle paint lol, the papers are all Magnolia,

the Victorian edge was done with my trimmer

flowers are prima and the metal centres are from a local craft shop, the butterfly was a Birthday present from Christine, thanks so much hun,

lace from craft fair,

Here's a close up of the layers lol, as you can see there's quite a few lol,

right guys I'm off,

see you soon, hugs Liz xx

I've used a Lily of the Valley girl, had her ages but never used her before, smack my hand, but she just seemed to fit this challenge some how lol,

For you mum,

Hi Guys,

Earlier this week I made this for my mum for mothers day, so thought I'd put it on here and show you lol, 

I've seen a few of these book cards in blog land lately and thought I'd have a go, 

make a brew I've a few pictures lol!

My mum loves pale colours and daffodils, well I had no stamp with just Daffs so I masked tilda with tulips on to a fence which had a few peeking out,

I've coloured these with copics and edges the are distressed with Antique Linen Distress ink,

The paper is from the Tim Holtz shabby pad and my edges are sewn,

I did the inside in the book style and on the left is a pocket for a removable tag on which I used the distress ink again and with the same colour did a border using the same colour with a Stempelglede grunge stamp,

I put a few words in the middle,

I did the same frame effect on the top and around the book,

Here's a close up of the book, I edged the top edges with a Martha Stewart border punch, then I distressed it with Vintage photo for a bit of  an aged look,

I hope you can see the frame effect on the card too,

Back to the front,

I used various flowers then took a butterfly button and a pearl button and took off the shanks, ( not easy) I can tell you, they ping all over the place lol, then I  mounted them with the flowers, Magnolia swirl die, and pearl strings

The top left corner has a quickcutz die and some more pearls finish off the card on the card and inside on the MS Butterlflies,

Challenges

Edited to add,

It's really cold and raining now here,

See you soon,
Have a lovely day
Love and hugs Liz xx

I've used a hAnglar stamped image sent as a Rak, wish I had this one too lol,

The background I coloured with Copics and also for her shadow then edged the card with Distress inks, the edges are also  machine sewn and some are disressed using my distress tool,
