Peaceful Tilda at SSS

It's a beautiful Sunday here in Chicago and as the piles of snow melt, and I see tiny patches of grass showing and  it reminds me that Spring is just around the corner. Or at least that's what I'm hoping.

Today,  I have a special card for the Simon Says Stamp Blog. I'm so honored to be their guest for today and I am thankful to SSS for inviting me.

I used Peaceful Tilda from the Winder Wonderland Collection and colored her with Distress Ink Reinkers. Here's a closer look at Tilda

The Sentiment is from Ali Edward Bright Ideas. I inked it up using Memento Luxe Toffee Crunch and I embossed it with clear embossing powder.

I used die cut paper flowers for this card. For the small pink flowers, I used MFT Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses

The edges of the card were distressed, painted with acrylic paint the sewn before adhering to the card base. I use a thick card stock or watercolor paper for the card base especially when my card has lots of embellishments.  It helps support the card.

Magnolia Ink Rewind

Hello everybody!
I hope y'all are doing great! I've been busy behind the scenes lately with the Magnolia Ink Magazine and our high school choir 25th anniversary reunion concert! Yes, I used to sing in a choir and I had to remind myself! It has been awhile since I sang in front of an audience or anybody so I'm trying to learn all the songs.

Anywhooo... what I am sharing with you today is a project from the Magnolia Ink 2013 Issue #1. It was the vintage, newspaper type and if you don't have it, this was one of my projects in that issue.
This is a paper mache heart-shaped ornament that I covered with Tim Holtz Washi Tape. The image

Tilda with Wrapped Heart from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection. And I colored her with DI Reinkers in a sepia-ish kinda way. 

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I want you to know the Lacey will be carrying 

Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers really really soon.  And I am soooooo excited about it!
