Tilda Christmas card

Hi again!!

Pi here with another Christmas card featuring Christmas Tilda with cat. I love this stamp, it will probably go on most of my cards this year and more to come:)

Magnolia has some gorgeous winter paper out now, with such a wintery feel to them with out the traditional Christmas colours. I did my best to match the papers with my copic markers, but I'm afraid there was not much to work with - a reasonable excuse to buy more copics - don't y'all think:) Anyway, the colours used for her dress was BG11 and BG 49

A part from the colouring and the drying time, this card came together pretty quick and easy - it's easy when you have great products to work with... The designer paper I used are from the vintage Christmas collection called ice princess and snowy wood.

The snowflakes are die cut from MFT's Let it Snowflake die-namic set I covered them in glue (any glue will do) and sprinkled loads of Martha Stewart fine glitter in Crystal on top of them. Similar technique was used for the embellishment with the sentiment. I used a MFT decorative doily, the smallest one as my base, layered more Magnolia paper on it and then stamped to all with as a center. The intricate bits of the doily was covered with glue and sprinkled with MS glitter.

I tied a bow of some satin ribbon and the same ribbon in a wider size are layered at the bottom between the papers, but you can barely see it underneath the sentiment.

Let's dance

Hi!

I have a new card for the Rubber Buggy DT.

I teamed Dancing Queen Tilda with Edward wants a hug and got a dancing couple. Both of them are coloured with copic markers, but Tilda's dress is paper pieced. To really make them pop as if there was bright spotlights on stage directed as them I outlined the couple with Copic C0 as a shadow.

The card is accented with paper flowers from Panduro and organza ribbon from my stash. In the middle of the flowers I've put some dew drops from Robin's nest. The dancing couple are in a stage of a layered scalloped circle, both from Sizzix framlites.

I created the background with Magnolia love background stamp and stamped with cardstock with two different pigment inks from versamark, lilac and raspberry. The left of the paper pieces I punched with Martha Stewart lacey doily and sprayed with Lindy stamp gang salt water taffy spray. The sentiment is a die cut from spellbinders fancy framed tags 2 and I distressed the die cut embossing with milled lavender and wrote the sentiment "Let's dance!"

Don't forget that there are still blog candy up for grabs and we'll start off with the challenges in a week. Until then my fellow teamies will have some gorgeous creations for you to enjoy - so stay tuned:)


Inspiration for the card is found in Totally Tilda Challenge # 59 Sketch time.
