Lilac and green

Vicky challenged me to make a card using Tilda coloured in Lilac. Not a difficult challenge for me ... the biggest challenge I had was getting the masking right so Tilda sat properly on the dandelion!!
I used my distress inks to colour the image and went over the fairy dust and danedlion clock with a skura stardust pen. The papers are lush, I had to take some deep breathes before i cut into the ... MME Penny Lane glitter stack. I added a ribbon and a charm, and some baby's breathe.
The card fits these challenges -
Just Magnolia - it takes two
Raise the bar - for Mum ... well it is for a very special mum, not mine. One of my friend's has a little girl who is very poorly, so this is for her as a thinking of you card while she nursses her little one in hospital. Her little one is blind so I have used lots of textures on the card nad bits that she can tap and stroke so she can 'see' her mummy's card too.

This week's Sweet Pea Stampers challenge is a sketch.
I used the same colour scheme as my Tilda - had the inks out so thought I might as well!! The dp is DCWV Pocketfull of Posies and the image is Midnight waiting. I added stickles and used ricrac and ribbon.

We have had a lovely time at our friend Nancy's new house ... the girls have played scary monsters with everyone and i didn't have to cook tea or tidy away :)

Dark Royalty

A friend came round to craft this morning, as I hadn't got any children so no Mums and Tots. While she stamped up nearly every stamp I own (and I own a fair few!!) I had a go at colouring this Sweet Pea Stamp in. They are growing on me, and I might be adding to my collection of 2!
I made the card up this afternoon for these challenges:
Sweet Pea Stampers - Under the Sea
Papertake Weekly - Do Something Else - I never add removables to my card, but I have added a tag that comes away
Simon Says Stamp - buttons, bow and bling
Eveybody-Art-Challenge - song title - Waterboys Song of the Mermaid
Truly Scrumptious - sketch and removable part - tag

I coloured this mermaid with my pens. I chose these papers as they remind me of the colours of the sea, and some look a little like anemones. In real life she is not quite as pale ... the light is weird here today. I added bows to the ribbons, and a button. I used papermania shimmer dots to make the swirls ... they are fab, clear domes with glitter in them. I thought they looked like sparkly bubbles. I made the tag and stamped Happy Birthday on it, it pulls out.
