Tilda with Dot Bow

Hello my lovelies! I hope you are all enjoying your day. 

This is another attempt to make a 3D paper pieced card.  I used Tilda with Dot Bow from the 

With Love Collection and I colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.

I chose this image because it doesn't have a lot of tiny  pieces to cut. hehe

Here's a view from the side so you can see the 3D pieces/layers.

A closer look...

Copic Recipe:

Skin: E0000, 000, 00, 11, 21, pink chalk (cheeks)

Hair: E49, 37, 35, 33, 51

Blue: B97, 95, 93, 91

Red: R29, 27, 24, 23

On the inside of the card, I used the same sketch and stamped it with an old Magnolia Hearts Stamp.

Challenges:

Midweek Magnolias: Gingham (I used a gingham pattern paper)

Simon Says: Anything Goes

I will be adding this card to my Etsy Store along with my other cards.

Thanks for stopping by!

 I'll be back tomorrow for another Stamp and Create with Magnolia Challenge.

Have a great day!

Mae

Supplies:
DP: MME
Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts
Metal Corner: Momenta
Others: Tim Holtz ticket, CC Designs Rolled Rose Die, Petaloo Heart Pin, charms, pearls, seam binding

Tilda's Town: Celebrate

It's Friday once again and we have a new Challenge at Tilda's Town

CELEBRATE!

This is gonna be one easy challenge for all of us! What is there to celebrate? 

Birthdays, Anniversaries,  Love, and so much more!

Here's my take for this week's challenge.  I used New Year Tilda and colored her with DI's

Here's a closer look!

You might have noticed that in most of my cards, I have layered papers that comes the DP collection I use. I love getting the effect of papers layered. And to matte each piece, I used

PERFECT LAYERING RULERS
to achieve those even borders around the card.

All That Scraps: SN Review

All That Scraps are reviewing some January stamps today. 

And we are showcasing all Sweet November stamps and I think this is one of my favorite fairy stamps: Sleeping Baby Fairies

I made this door hanger for a baby's room to let people know that the baby is sleeping. I colored the image using DI's. I also used the Olive Branch Die and the Rolling Rose Die which are both from previews releases.

It was nice of you to visit me today!

Please come back again soon!

Hugs,

All That Scraps: Anything but a Card

Hi Friends! I have a project to share with you for All That Scraps Anything but a Card.

I made a mini baby album using the plastic packaging that comes with stamps. And I simply attached the plastics to a folded cardstock that was 1/4 in bigger around.  Then I stapled them together and added a ribbon.

I used the following for this simple project!
Swiss Pixie Baby Girl
Welcome Little One
Baby Accessories

Thanks for stopping and I really do appreciate it when you visit my blog!
I'll be back tomorrow for another review of ATS January Stamps!
Have a great day!

Happy New Year! I'm back!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to my Friends and Followers here in my blog!

 I know it's a bit late but it's been crazy during the holidays! not because of the celebrations and gatherings but because I was sick most of the time. And in the middle of that, my son got sick too. So I'm still trying to make up for the lack of sleep.

I hope you all enjoyed your Holidays and got some nice crafty gifts for Christmas! It's a New year and I hope we all get some new inspirations and get our creative juices flowing. 

But before I start the year with a new card, I want to look back to 2012 and share my Top 10 favorite cards with you.

March: Wedding

 

April: Ballet Princess

 

May: Best Cook

 

May: Tilda unAnchor

 

July: Tilda with Pencils

 

August: Mushrooms & Daisies

 

September: Butterfly Paper Bag

 

October: Snowy Tilda in Pink

Looking back at the cards and my old posts, I can still remember the inspiration I got to make the cards, how happy I was when I finished the cards and the feeling of accomplishment that never seems to wear off. 

Thank you for all your support and your lovely comments. I do appreciate every single one of them!

I wish you all the best in 2013 and may we all be crafty and creative this year!
