Shiny Silver

The challenge this week on Tilda & Co., is:

"....I would like to see shiny silver,.........it could be some shiny mirror card in silver! or could be some metal work/wire. What about some little mirror tiles? or even sequins as long as there is some shiny silver on your work......"

This is my contribution. I decided to go for low key with the shiny silver.


I used Tilda with the bird stamp but masked out the bird and added a puffy silver heart embellishment on her hand. I coloured her with watercolours and brushables and mounted her using my Nestabilities and some silver mirriboard. The paper is from Karen Foster and the card is Bazzill Bling run through my Big Shot with Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder. Some Papermania sticky ribbon was added to the join and a small silver metal label holder was attached using silver brads. The message "Make A Wish" was made with a free font. Finally three star peel offs were added to the top right-hand side of the card.

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!
