Two Tildas as one

This card was so fun to make. I wanted to use a sitting Tilda but didn't have one that was quite what I wanted so I took the head of one mini Tilda and put it on the body of another.

I just didn't want to use that hat as it is too much like Christmas and I knew I wanted to use the balloon so I decided to use the head of balloon Tilda on the cross stitch heart Tilda.

I put Tilda's hair behind her arm on the one side but on the other I put her hair in front of the braid. Of course I had to carefully trim the hair so it would look right together.

I drew in some balloon strings.

Here is the finished card. I colored over the hair between the braid and the other Tilda to make it blend better. Hope you enjoyed this short tutorial on combining heads and bodies. lol

Tilda with heart

Boy am I on a roll - well I did have motivation. My cousin wanted to buy 6 cards so I had to work and get these done before Valentine's day. This is the last I think. So nice to have someone appreciate your work enough to pay money for it. 

Tilda is colored with copics. The lace on the dress has frosted lace stickles. There are a rectangle stampabilites die and the heart die. Lots of sewing. Some baker's twine, lace sprayed with cherry blossom walnut ink and some flowers with pearls finish it off.

I made this card for the vintage/shabby chic challenge over at http://magnolia-licioushighlites.blogspot.com/.

I usually don't do this style as I usually do brighter colors but this was lots of fun.

Tilda Sparkles with Hearts

I won this stamp form Sunday Sensations (see the sidebar for the link and your chance to win).

I decided to add the hearts to go with the inspiration picture below. I saw someone else put hearts in the sparkles but don't remember where. Tilda is colored with copics. The hearts are brads. The yellow floral paper is from basic grey that I downloaded from their site. The green has some swirls made by a stamp from the angel company.  The flowers are from You've Got Flowers? with yellow stickles for centers.

Jumping Tilda

I made this card for a woman who broke her ankle. I thought I would have the inside say something like hope you are up and hopping around real soon.

I like how Tilda looks like she is jumping out of the frame. The aqua dp is some I won is a blog give away and have no idea who makes it but it has a shimmer to it. The swirls are a die cut from memory box. The flowers which really match much better in real life are from prima flowers with some rhinestones in the middle. Tilda is colored with copics and has some star dust stickles on the lace. 

Hope your day is hoppin' good.

Lollipop Tilda

It has been forever since I posted something. I was working on some calendars - I may show those later - and then my dd and her fiance were here. So tonight I made myself sit down and make a card.

Isn't Tilda just the cutest thing leaning on her bike. She is colored with copics. The lollipop and bike have some diamond glaze added. The flowers have little washers and pearly blue brads through them. Then there are some washers running down and across. I love the buckle at the bottom and I am almost out of them. 

Here is another view.

The washer colors are a little truer in this picture.

Hope you enjoyed the card.

Gerbera Daisy Box

This is the red and black box with a gerbera daisy that I made for the youngest dd. 

The daisies are colored with copics and have some stickles for highlights. The papers are from bo bunny and basic grey. The gerbera daisy is from the angel company. The outside is covered with a high gloss varnish on it to seal it. There nail head stickers and pearls and tiny red rhinestones. Here's a close-up.

And the inside.

I have an ideas for a couple more so be on the look out.

Tiger box

I wanted to get this box done for Christmas but ran out of time. I will have to give it to my son-in-law next time I see him. I also want to get some done for my daughters. 

The tiger is from the angel company. I just love him. He is so regal looking. The dp is from basic grey.

Here is the inside.

It is to put two decks of cards in. I already gave my son-in-law the cards but didn't tell him about the box that was coming - just in case it took me a while to get to it. The box itself is a wooden cigar box.I did another box for Stamper's Quest and it has more detailed instructions here.

Off to work on the next box. See you soon.

Drummer Boy

I like the song "Little Drummer Boy" and this card goes right along with it.

This is a digi stamp from http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/ . He is all colored with copics. I tried to tone down some of the colors by coloring over the bright ones with C1. It did help some even though they are still pretty bright. The snow is shaved ice from Stampendous!. The corner punch is from EK Success. Added some baker's twine and a charm. This card is going to a family whose son and husband play the drums at our church.

Reading Fairy

I did this card for a challenge here that is already closed. Oh well. When I first saw it I wasn't going to do it because I don't do funny colored hair until I saw a fairy and knew that would work. So here is my entry that isn't an entry.

This is a digi stamp from Elizabeth O.Dulemba here. She is all colored in copics. The paper is digi from basic grey. Some ribbon and flowers and a few dew drops make this creation complete.

Inspiration Challenge

I finally got my inspiration challenge done - several days late. Here is the picture - 

And here is the card I made.

The set is called apple of my eye from the angel company. And there is good news - the company has been bought so some of these sets may be coming back! Yeah!

She is colored with copics. The apples are popped with foam tape and have diamond glaze on them - which by the way isn't quite dry but couldn't wait any longer to take the picture. Patience isn't always my best virtue. lol The flowers have stickles in the center. The green swirl is from memory box. The dp's are just some scraps I found in my stash and don't know who they all belong to. Hope you enjoy this little sweetie. I think she will go to my dd to encourage her during finals next week.
