Well this is my first project for the Tilda & co DT team, I was very surprised when I received the e-mail from Donna asking me to become a member of the Design Team, thank you Donna. This little box came with some bath goodies in it, I knew I would find a use for it at sometime. It has been covered with papers from my Stash, Mummy Tilda is taking baby Boo out for her first glimpse of the outside world, both stamps have been coloured with Marvy Markers and water brush, I have added a string of pearls under the three pink flowers and just finished off with the lovely spotty ribbon from Poppicraft. I am sorry it looks a bit washed out, but with all this bad weather have had to use flash photography. Hope you like my first effort. Don't forget there is a lovely Lily and Milo stamp on offer for this challenge, so go on have a go. TFL

Thanks you for the challenge and he glorious DT cards. |I would like to introduce you to Little Fairy Sunshine, she brings joy and happiness where ever she goes. This is a stamp by Stamps Happen, she just flew in today from Sir Stampalot, I must stop visiting that shop it eats money, I think she is fab. I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils and Sansodor, Yellow is a colour I do not use often but she called out for it. I have loads of Crafting Cds so I thought it was time I used them so all the backing paper and the little strip of green came from The Triple Treasures 2 Background CD, I have mounted it on shocking pink card stock. The little flower brad and flower came from stash and for the verse I used Word. Sorry you cannot read the verse I should have printed it larger but it says "Sunshine makes the clouds go away, she sprinkles her fairy dust and brightens the day". I used one of Claudias lovely sketches for this card, thank you Claudia. I like this one although I say so myself. TFL

Tilda & Friends - By the Sea

Oh I do love to be beside the seaside is the song Tilda is singing today. She has been coloured with distressed inks, I have also added little dots of Glossy Accents to make it appear like water drops, dosn't show on picture but looks quite effective. The background has been stamped with two Judikins stamps, Sky and Sand I just rubbed Marvey Markers over both for the colour, the Lighthouse is from stash I think it may have come from Mad about Cards, and shells are a reminder of my last holiday. I rounded of the corners of the ATC with a corner punch and edged it with Dark Blue chalk ink pad. TFL

Tilda & co No 20 - BEADS OF GLORY

I made two cards this week - I had to hunt around for beads. The first card I made (Dark Red), thought I had gone OTT with the flowers when I had finished it, but decided I would show you anyway. I had to hand-cut the hearts as I am waiting for my Nestabilities, gathered and glued lace around both hearts, Strung some beads which I took off of a T Shirt on thin wire. I distressed cream paper with Inks and stamped it up with baby label stamp from Magnolia and "Miss You" stamp from Exclusive images. Flowers from Poppicraft, and pearls from stash, DP Basic Grey I added Bedazzles to the yolk of her dress, Tilda is coloured with Polychromos pencils and Sansodor.
The second Card (Pink) is a bit simpler, (not much) Thought I would have a go with masking, stamped and masked the fence then coloured the background with blue and green pastel chalks, Tilda bird and fenced all coloured wirh Polychromos again, Tilda's flower's have bedazzels in the centre, run out of single beads, so added a string of pink pearls on top of pink ribbon and added two strings of cream pearls under the flowers, all the stamps are magnolia, I distressed the two heart banners and added a pearl to each. Papers are Basic Grey everything else from stash Hope you like one of them. Tfl
