Sparkly Tilda

Hello lovely people,

Well, I had a really nice day yesterday having my coffee date with Dr. Hubby, a little bit of baking, a lot of crafting, and dinner and a catch up with a wonderful friend :-)

It's back to coursework for me today but there is a cake sale in work so I'm sure that will motivate me a little ;-)

But now it's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this time is...

BLING IT ON!

So show us all those gorgeous sparkly cards and don't forget we want to see more pink than any other colour!

Our fabulous sponsor this time is Dies to Die For with a £10 voucher

For some reason I struggle with bling but I was really happy with this card until it came to photograph it as I couldn't get the sparkle to show properly...we've all been there!

I really enjoy paper piecing the dress on this image but I always add some shading to it with Copics otherwise it looks too flat.
I added Glamour Dust to the feather in her hair and to the stars and dots round the image; I think you can see a hint of it in the photo!

I also added some Glamour Dust to all the flowers and tiny gems to the ends of the die cut swirls, so this card is really sparkly IRL I promise!

Glamorous Tilda

Hello lovely people,

I hope you all had a lovely Easter break!

I was so thrilled to have some sunshine and that meant I could get in the garden so those fence panels are in and the garden is looking a whole lot tidier now :-)

I did have a bit less crafting time as a result but still got a few DT cards done as well as this card that I made for a few challenges...

I wanted this Tilda for ages but she always seemed to be out of stock so I was delighted to finally get hold of her a month or so ago...and it still took me until now to ink her up!

She got a pretty paper-pieced dress and I added a little Copic shading for depth.

You can see I couldn't resist using my Go Kreate dies again ;-)
I'm not getting bored of these any time soon so hope you aren't either!
