Girly But Blue!

Good morning all! Can't believe it's Friday again.....where has the week gone?!!

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

"You don't see many girl cards/projects in blue very often. They are normally pink! Well I would love you to make your projects this week in BLUE! Has to be suitable for a female......"

I recently got some new Magnolias and have been wanting to use this one as soon as it arrived and when blue was mentioned, thought of Christmas! So this card will also fit in with Fab's Big Christmas Challenge......another two challenges in one card....what is wrong with me!!!

The stamp is Chilly Tilda and I've coloured her with Prismas and Sansodor and plenty of Glamour Dust on her wings, coat and hat (you may have to click on the photo to see this better). Also used the Goblin Tree Stump which has been coloured in the same way and Glamour Dust added to what should be moss (saw this idea on one of the ATCs on Tilda & Friends challenge). Cut out both images and fixed Tilda on the tree stump with foam pads. Papers are by Brenda Walton and have been layered with Bazzill Bling and mirricard. Slots were punched with my SU punch and Dovecraft grosgrain ribbon added. The sentiment is from Doodlebug and the sticky gems are Papermania.

Don't think I will have time to craft today as I'm meeting up with a friend this morning for a coffee and a chat and it's Tae Kwon-do night this evening which is always hectic! Hope you have a good Friday and will be back tomorrow!

Love it, great card Jo! I'm glad it isn't winter anymore, but it's still fun to see winter cards. Love that Tilda image and the way you've colored her. Especially like the fluff on her coat and the moss on the tree stump. Neat idea! :) Great blues and printed papers too. :)

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
