Pink love

Hello lovely people,

I'm here to share my card for the new challenge at In The Pink and this week we have the theme of...

LOVE

A love themed pink card you say?  Easy and the perfect opportunity to use one of my new Tilda stamps AND some new DP :-)

I loved colouring this sweet Tilda in fabulous hot pink; I don't think I've ever used such a bright combo of Copics before!  I added a little Glamour Dust to the hearts and some Stickles around the edge of the hearts on the stems - better IRL as always!

Hearts

Hello lovely people,

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted anything - I have been busy in my craft room though!

I thought I would just share a simple card I made for Dr Hubby for our wedding anniversary back in September.  He doesn't like anything fancy so I borrowed an idea from Jen Nelson (The Tiny Blue Butterfly).  She always creates the most wonderful CAS designs and you can see my inspiration here.

I cut the hearts out using my Cricut and it was a little tricky getting them where I wanted them!  Then I cut 3 separate pieces of text DP to go under the hearts so I could choose the words I wanted to be visible.
The top panel of Kraft is raised on foam pads to add a little dimension to the card.

Card recipe;

DP: Simple Stories - Documented collection

Sentiment: Kaisercraft mini clear stamp set

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges;

1.  As You Like It (case your fave designer)

2.  That Craft Place (sentiment)

Before I go I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all my new followers; it makes me very happy to have you follow my work :-)

And don't forget that my candy giveaway is still running until Friday and you can find the post at the top of my blog :-D

Thanks for visiting, and for all your lovely comments,

Hugs,

Pretty Tilly

Hello lovely people,

It seems like you weren't so keen on our last challenge of a sketch at In The Pink so it's time for a new and much easier theme...

Ribbons and bows

Simples!

I thought I would do something a little different this week and alter a can.  WARNING - lots of photos coming up!
Here's the cocoa can before it underwent a makeover;

And this is what it looks like now;

Ok, the image panel is maybe a little large for the can but I didn't want to try to fussy cut her as it's not one of my strong points!
I popped the image panel on some foam pads and added a bit of embellishment at one side, then scattered a few butterflies here and there.

These little heart stems are my new favourite die and I just know they are going to be so versatile :-)  You can also see the ribbon and lace bow - that's the theme sorted!

This parade of pictures wouldn't be complete without a close up of Tilly and I had fun trying out a funky deep pink hair colour :-)  There is a tiny touch of Stickles on her wing and spots of Stickles and pearl pen for the fairy dust but it's not so obvious in the photo.

Card recipe;

Image: Tilly - Saturated Canary rubber stamp (available from My Crafty Heart)

DP: Always and Forever paper pad - LOTV

Dies: Impression Obsession heart stems and butterflies

Seam binding: from Crafty Ribbons

Lace: from stash

Tag: Sentiment tags - LOTV

No flowers!

Hello lovely people,

This might be a bit of a long post as I have lots to tell you, so are you sitting comfortably?  Then I'll begin...

First up, it's Liliday and this week our challenge theme at Lili's Little Fairies  is...

No Flowers

Our wonderful sponsor is Iva Nova Chest with a lovely goodie bag up for grabs :-D

My card is a fairly simple one and I have used hearts to embellish it instead of flowers, which I rather like...I may do this again!

I go back to this stamp time and again as it is such a lovely image and can be used for a number of occasions, hence the slightly non-specific tag!

Card recipe;

Image: Love Grows from LOTV

DP: Maja Design -Vintage Summer Basics
Scalloped edge: Martha Stewart edge punch
Hearts: cut with Cricut
Ribbon: from stash
Tag: Sentiment tags from LOTV
Pearls: from The Hobby House

Skin: E0000/000/00/51 & R30

Now, onto the second part of my post and I have some news to share.  Time change and we Fairies are changing with them.  This will be the last ever challenge as Lili's Little Fairies.  No, please don't be too sad and read on...

We have had a blast as LLF but it is time for a new start so from next week (5th September) we are becoming Crafty Little Fairies and will have a brand new look :-)  Here's a little taster...

Something else new and we think very exciting - we are opening our challenge up for you to use images other than LOTV.  So, you can still use your Lili's and we would love to see them, but you can also use other images too.  How cool is that?  I and the other Fairies will continue to share our love of Lili with you but this does mean more of you will be able to join in the challenges with us.

So, we hope you are as excited about all this as we are and hope to see you next week for the first ever Crafty Little Fairies Challenge!  It's the turn of the Blue Fairies (yes, we get new team names too!) to share their lovely creations but some of the Pink Fairies are so excited that they may just play along too!

If this weeks theme seems tough then just head over to Lili's Little Fairies for some awesome inspiration, then put away those flowers and join in our challenge!

If you need any more incentive to join in, we also have TWO £10 vouchers from LOTV to give away to wish us luck in our new venture - woohoo!

Hugs,
