Happy Easter


Good morning!  I have an Easter card to share with you today using the gorgeous Tilda With Little Chickens from last year's Sunbeam Collection.  I've teamed her with one of my favourite papers from Maja Design's Denim Collection.


I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added white dots to her cheeks and eyes using a white gel pen.


I have used the Daffodil Doohickey and Foamiran to make the Daffodils.  Before assembling I inked the centres of the flowers with Scattered Straw Distress Ink.  I've also added some blue roses to add a pop of colour.  The fence was cut with the Lovely Fence Doohickey and the lace is from Craft Heaven.


I've used the banner Doohickey from Volume 9 and the Happy Easter sentiment is from Magnolia too.  The cute clouds were cut with a die from Doohickey Volume 4.


I hope you like it and I've inspired you to make your own Easter cards.  Pop over to the Craft Heaven blog to see some more inspiration from the Design Team.  Thanks for looking!

Christening card..

Hello everyone!!

Barbara here.
I'm back with a new card to share with you today!!!!!
It's a card made for a baby boy's Christening day.


I used blue tones of papers from Maja Design's Vintage Baby 6x6 collection.
I cut out a little Castle using a Magnolia die and tags, also from Magnolia, dies collection called
Bloomy tag.
Flowers added are made using Magnolia Peonies dies and Foamiran - ecru.




The image I colored is called Sleeping Baby Tilda and is still available in the shop.
I love it... it's one of my favourite Magnolia stamps.
I added a Scrapiniec chipboard and Cheesecloth behind this cutie....



All around the image I added white Liquid pearls...
and....
I forgot vintage seam binding - white and blue - on tags...


A few more pics for you....


Hope you enjoy!
I'll be back soon with a new inspirational post for you!

Hugs, Barbara GR

Sitting Spring Tilda..

Good day everyone!
Tina here once again with a card that I really hope you will enjoy..


I'm seriously in love with bunnies, so the only right thing to do was to use one on here..
Let's start with the image..


I did a lot of masking and created this little scene with Sitting Spring Tilda from the It's Springtime Collection 2017 and some Magnolia accessories stamps like the Daffodil from the Curious Wiola kit..

Once again I used my absolute favourite colouring medium.. Distress Inks..
Here's a full list of colours that I used:
Skin
Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Cheeks
Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany
Hair
Antique Linen, Walnut Stain
Pants
Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Black Soot
Shirt/Boots
Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Black Soot
Rabbit
Walnut Stain, Tattered Rose, Hickory Smoke
Flowers
Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Hickory Smoke
Grass
Old Paper, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

After I was done with the colouring, I used a Wink of Stella glitter brush to add sparkle to the flowers, bow, rabbit's tail and nose..
The dots are white Frantage embossing powder and of course the image is sealed with a bit of Distress Micro Glaze..

I cut the image into a square and placed the biggest Spellbinders Marvelous Squares die behind that..
I used my favourite kraft paper for that..
I'm talking about the Bazzil Classic Kraft in 12x12''..



All the designer papers are from Maja Design..

I've added lots of doiles everywhere.. Again..
And I've used plenty of Magnolia Doohickeys too..
The Bloomy Tag, the Heart Background (for the little hearts on the front and inside), the Jute is peeking on the sides and of course an oldie but goodie.. The Old Swedish Lace..

When I was picking the flowers it struck me that I didn't have any orange ones..
So I decided to make them on my own..
I took some Peach Foamiram from the drawer, the Dried Marigold and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks and two more Magnolia Dies..
The Daffodil and the Little Daffodil..
I have to tell you.. I really really love how they turned out..
The other flowers are from WOC..

The lace and Vintage Seam Binding are both from Craft Heaven Shop as well..



The card's base is made with a GoKreate die from the Large Frame Frilly #5 set and I used the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and Petite Scalloped Circles Large on the inside and back..

The paper edges are distressed and sewn and three more things I always use are half-pearls, cheesecloth and Gesso..
Simply cannot live without those.. LOL!


One last thing!
I just want to thank you from the heart for stopping by!

Hugs,
Tina
