Tilda with Summer Flower

Good evening folks

I have had a bit of a shopping day today and not crafty shopping, I've been to town twice and I'm so tired out now I could fall asleep sitting up, so if I make any spelling mistakes please excuse them lol.

I've made this card using Tilda with Summer flower, yes another distress painted Tilda, I can't stop now, I'm really getting into the swing of it!

 I used Grandma's old school book papers by Pion, (love these) gorgeous soft gold lace from Michaels, Magnolia Tag die, thin gold ribbon, gold pearls and gold stickles glitter, Martha Stewart butterfly punch and doily edge border punch, pretty cherry blossom & lillies from WOC.

Challenges;

Midweek Magnolias #17  ~ Lovely lace

Wild Orchid Crafts #53 ~ Punch it out 

Timbroscrapmania #50 ~ Butterfly & flower

Well I'm off to get an early night and awake nice & refreshed to visit your blogs tomorrow.

Take care & enjoy the rest of the week,

Distress painting again

Good morning all,
 I've just finished this one and couldn't wait to pop it on my blog, hope you like it :o)

My shopping list for this one is;

Magnolia papers, Magnolia Tilda with cherries,  Ribbon Girl fruity seam binding, red ribbon, jute mesh and cherry charm, Wild Orchid Crafts cherry blossom, Magnolia romantic tag and I've stamped those cute flowers again, Woodware leaf punch, Whimsy Corner die.

Look at this lovely lot!

Remember I told you I won those Pion Papers, Omg I did not expect this lot!

Federal Express just knocked my front door and I nearly fell down the stairs trying to get to it lol

44 wonderful sheets of Pion papers, 

I'm so eager to make a card with them but at the same time I really need to admire them a while longer...

Thank you so much to the ladies on the Pion Blog for choosing my card as one of your winners and also to Jenny at Pion for sending out this superb prize to me, you will never know how much it means to me, I adore these papers.

Whilst I'm doing my thank yous, I'd also like to thank everyone for their lovely encouraging comments you left me on the distress inks painting I did yesterday, you've really encouraged me to carry on with it, thank you. 

Hugs to you all

Are these worth keeping?

I have been learning to paint with distress inks yesterday and today, I did try painting with them about 6months ago but I wasn't 100% happy with the outcome, question is are these any better?  or should I go back to my copics? I'd love your honest opinions :o)

Thanks for any help, guidance or helpful tips :o)

Hugs

It's Sunday again....

Good morning Crafters, 

I can't believe how quick the time is going, these challenges are coming and going far too quickly.

It's time once again for the Here Come the Boys challenge and today we are making cards with more than one fold, so I plumped for my favourite at the moment The Criss Cross card (I bet you didn't see that coming lol) I also stamped one of my old faithful Forever Friends bears, I still think these are my favourites, such cute bears.

The sentiments are from the new Wellington bear set of stamps which I've yet to use, I thought this sentiment was lovely for this card.

The papers are from a set I bought back from America the first time I went and have only just opened them (blush)

The gold filigree corners are from WOC and ribbon from Michaels last Christmas collection.

brown pearls are Kort & Godt & gold peals from Bunny Zoe's Crafts, button from my stash.

Challenges

Craft Your Days Away Challenge ~ Bingo (Button, ribbon & die cuts Ovals)
