The front: 
I stamped Tilda three times and masked one before stamping the watering can. I watercoloured the image in and bits of the other two. I cut these bits out and layered them up. I distressed the image using dried marigold, shabby shutters and an off gold I have. I distressed the edges of the cardstock and distressed that in spiced marmalade and vintage photo, and faux stitched them. The dsign paper is distressed with shabby shutters and dried marigold. I folded the dp corners over and stamped the swirl using spiced marmalade and then brushed gold perfect pearls over it, spritzed it with water and dried it. I added eyelets, the ticket, and the layered flower which I glimmer misted.Inside:
Instead over covering over the whole of the inside with dp, I left the fold from the bottom of the bag so I had an insert for a tag. I distressed the cardstock and dp as before. I used the wet distressing method to make the left hand panel and tags, using shabby shutteres, dried marigold and spiced marmalade. For the panel I used a Tim Holtz border mask and went over it with spiced marmalade and vintage photo. I stamped the swirls and sentiment in peeled paint and went over the swirls with perfect pearls as before.
I stamped Tilda three times and watercoloured her. She is layered up and the edges distressed in shabby shutters and dried marigold. I tore the edges of my dp and distressed them. I made the tag as described above. Ellie helped with the spritzing of the perfect pearls - a bit on the keen side so the ink ran quite a bit and there is less glimmer!!
The back: 
I used the same dp as the front and distressed and faux stitched it. I added some raffia and flowers that had been spritzed with glimmer mist, and wrote my sentiment on the journalling ticket.
Some details:
This is the scroll stamped in spiced marmalade and then brushed with perfect pearls, spritzed with water and dried.
Here is a close up of my own design paper and tags.
And finally the tags with Ellie's swirls done with perfect pearls!! You can also see the layering up.
Sorry for all the pics ... but I am really pleased with this. I have only made I wallet for the inside, but I will make another one tomorrow.

I coloured this image, given to my by my lovely ABC DT buddy Jen, using promarkers and copics. I kept the sketch simple, keeping a white background and matting the dp onto brown cardstock. I added some Bo Bunny ribbon, punched flowers and pearls.
I coloured my image and distressed it in antique linen, tattered rose and shabby shutters before masking the image and spritzing with glimmer mist. I matted the dp onto olive green cardstock and punched some flowers. I added the buttons to the centres of the flower. I made a paper bead and threaded it through my ribbon.
Having had an emotional morning I thought I would make a cardbefore we go away for the weekend - lost count of the mistaskes on this one - hopefully not too many are still visible LOL! I have used this week's Just Magnolia Sketch by Tab and the theme over at Stampin for the Weekend - masking. I am really chuffed - I made their top 5 last week!
Another of my stamp kit inked up for this. I stamped her and then masked her before adding the watering can. I stamped another couple of images and watercoloured them. I then layered Tilda and the flower upp to add some depth. i went a bit mad with the distressing tool (any guesses which corner got completely removed and restuck?!) and distressed the background and dp in peeled painted and speiced marmalade. I am into textures at the mo so I added lace and raffia and a couple of copper eyelets. The flowers are punched from the dp and pearls added. I inked up the sentiment - only wanted loves me loves me not ... the t didn't stamp - wasn't going to have another go!!
Well off to feed the kids and pack the car for a jolly weekend camping!!
I haven';t inked up this image for ages, and having done some quite pretty, flowery cards recently I thought I'd go for bright and fun! I coloured the image using a mixture of copics and promarkers. I matted the dp onto orange cardstock and just added a couple of orange buttons. Nearly time to pick the girls up ... forcast rain ... can I cope with 3 squealing, screaming girls all afternoon indoors? hmmmmm....!
I coloured this gorguss image in promarkers - ice greys for the hair and boots, and then used my nesties to cut the ovals and label shape(should be a circle in the sketch!). I found cardstock that almost matched the lime green and the pinks in the dp match the rose pink, ribbon and large flower. I threaded the button with white braid and knoted it acouple of times. One punched swirl finishes it off..jpg)
The optional extra challenge is to use neglected scraps ... so I did!
I used my new Popcorn stamp that I got using a prize voucher - didn't realise that the image was going to be this big! I watercoloured the image and cut it out. Taking the scraps element to heart, I have only used papers from my scraps tray. I rotated the sketch and set the panels at a jaunty angle.I matted Popcorn onto the pink cardstock and placed it in the centre of the card. I used large brads and added a flower and some gems. Very minimalist and I love it!
