TIlda's Town: Celebrate Christmas

It's the last Friday of November! Can you imagine that? Time really flies.  Ok, because it's Friday, it means we have another challenge at Tilda's Town!
This week our theme is:
CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
I think this is going to be an easy one for everybody.

My card is one of my Christmas flat cards.  I used Dancing Tilda with Stars and she is my favorite stamp from the Little Christmas Collection 2012.

I colored Tilda with Copics. I didn't plan to color her using the "no black lines" technique.  I accidently switched the covers of my Memento Tuxedo Black and London Fog ink pads.  And because I stamped it on MIC blending card (which is like precious gold to me and I didn't want to waste it) I had to color it just as it was! And I kinda like how it turned out!

Copics used:

Skin: E0000, 000, 00, 21

Hair: E47, 37, 35, 33, 51

Red: R89, 29, 27, 24, 22

Wings/White stripes: W3, 2, 1, 0

 The red and white flowers and the holly leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pine cone

and berries are from Hobby Lobby.  The DP is from Glitz and the metal corner, lace and ribbon (which is not visible) is from my stash.  The sentiment/calendar is from LOTV.

Now it's your turn. Link up your Christmas creations and share it with us at Tilda’s Town Challenge for a chance to win $15 GC  at

DT Make It Monday: Poinsettia Flowers

Happy Monday everyone! It's Mae here and it is my turn for our Make it Monday.

Today, I'll show you how I make poinsettia flowers using  CC Designs Holly & Berry and 

CC Designs Acorn Set cutters

1. Cut 10 of each leaf

2. Using a molding tool, score the back side of the die cuts to make veins.

3. You can also use the dull side of a craft knife to make the veins.

4. With a dimensional adhesive, arrange the base layer like so.

5. Add a drop of liquid glue before adding the second layer. 

Be sure to offset the second layer from the base. Let it dry.

6. Finally, place a half pearl or brad on the center of the poinsettia.

Here are some tags with the poinsettia flowers made using some CC Designs Cutter Dies.

I hope you enjoyed this week's MIM. 

Black and White

Happy Weekend Friends!

I'd like to share with you a black and white card I made.  I colored Tilda with 

Copic Sketch Markers Toner Gray 0-8

I apologize for the photo. I don't know how to set my camera to take a decent black and white photo.  These are the best photos I can take.

 

 I used MIC blending card.

Copic Recipe:

Skin: T3, T2, T1, T0

Hair: T6, T4, T2, T0

Top: T4, T3, T2, T1, T0

Pants: T8, T7, T6, T5, T3

background: T1, T0 colorless blender

In Order for me to get a really nice contrast in color, I laid the card on top of the Magnolia Ink Magazine so you can see the it really it black & white :)

Thanks for dropping by! 

Enjoy your weekend!

Hugs,

Mae

Happy Thanksgiving!

America is celebrating one of the biggest holidays of the year today. But because I was not born and raised here in the US, we really don't celebrate it like others do. At the same time, when we arrived here in the US,  my husband and I always worked on holidays. If I work on Thanksgiving, he works on Christmas. And if I work on New Years Eve, he works on Thanksgiving the next year.  We are both Registered Nurses and that's part of a nurse's life...I guess.

But this year, it's gonna be different. We were invited by some friends to have Thanksgiving dinner with them. And I made this card to give the hostess. 

I guess I can call this a CAS card. And believe me, this took me way longer to finish than my fully embellished cards! For some reason I just don't know how to make a CAS card look nice! This is the best I can do. 

Stamps used are from the Nativity Collection and I colored the image with Distress Ink Reinkers. And I used Perfect Layering Rulers to layer the papers.

Thanksgiving may be celebrated once a year, but giving thanks doesn't have to. And at this note, I would like to thank all of you who take time to visit my blog and leave me lovely comments.  I really, really appreciate it! You are my inspiration.

I hope you like my card for today. And thank you for stopping by!

Hugs,

Mae
