A Spoon full of sugar - Challenge 20

Over at A Spoon full of sugar blog this week. The colour theme is pink and green. I really did enjoy this one, I think pink and green are a strong favourite of mine. I've also been dying to use this wonderful image that my Cuddly Buddly friend Linda stamped for me. I think it's a whispers stamp.
Here's my list of items used

* Stamped image from Linda
* Shabby Princess papers
* Prisma pencils
* Ribbon and gems from stash

Friday Sketchers - Sketch 22

Over at Friday Sketchers this week it's Carole, from Englands turn to host the sketch. She has done a nice easy sketch for us. I really enjoyed doing this one.

Here's my list of items used

* Hanglar image

Distressed Tilda Challenge 28 - Take 2

I was really unhappy with my first attempt at the distressed Tilda, so I've had another go at distressing Tilda for the Magnolia challenge blog.I had a sudden flash of inspiration and remembered back to my school days, in particular my History lesson, when we had to make a scroll and age it, So, I stamped Tilda with Stazon onto watercolour paper, then, I totally colour washed the whole thing with watered down black coffee, filled in small areas with a stronger coffee, then stuck it under the grill. Matted it onto Shabby Princess papers, embellished it with a bit of ribbon, ric rac, gems and eyelets and used my favourite flourish stamp, from the Autumn leves set. I'm as happy as I'm ever going to be doing distressed Tilda and this is my last attempt.

Friday Sketchers 10

Not too much on this week , so I thought I would have another go at a challenge. This is for the Friday sketchers challenge. It was to use a layout which was pre-selected. I used Summer ice cream stamp by Elizabeth Bell which I coloured with Prisma pencils. I matted and layered her on Shabby Princess papers.I used a sentiment out of an Autumn leaves set, Prima flowers, gems from my sis, some embroidery thread which has been taking up room in my sewing box for far too long now and plenty of stickles. After I had matted and layered the image onto the card I thought it looked a bit stark so I gave it an all over light stippling with a Chestnut memories ink pad.
