TOMIC Challenge #3..

Good morning to you all!

It's time to share another make, don't you think?

Those of you who are following me on my Facebook page have already seen some 'work in progress' pics of this, but now I'm finaly ready to share the final result with you..

I started colouring this adorable Tilda quite some time ago and this card was my project for the 3rd TOMIC Challenge, but since I was a bit behind, I decided to postpone this post a bit further and use my card as a reminder for the current challenge..

So if you haven't joined us yet, I sincerely hope this post inspires you to do so..

The theme for this month's challenge is Mayflowers..

That's a good one, right?

Enough with the blabbering..
Here's my card..

I am a big fan of cutting dies.. You know that..

And as most of the times I picked a GoKreate set for the card's base..

But let me tell you..

I have a serious addiction to CreaLies dies as well..

They are really growing on me and as you can see I've used them again..

This time I had a play with the Squares with Cross Stitches.. That's what I used to cut the image out..

I keep repeating myself but you get so many sizes in each set, and the price point is awesome!!

I love, love, love them and I will be getting more soon..

I simply need them all! LOL!
Well.. Maybe not all but my wishlist is getting longer and longer..
Check them out HERE.. They are absolutely fantastic!

Here she is.. Tulip Love Tilda from the Hugs & Kisses Collection 2019..

Stamped with Archival Ink and coloured with Distress Inks as usual..

If you're interested in the list of colours just let me know..

The sentiment on her right is from that same collection..

Another detail I'm loving to death is that Round Cabochon on the left..

I cut that beautiful rose out of the paper I used on the back of the card, placed it inside the cabochon and topped it with lots of Glossy Accents..

I'm sure you recognized the paper collection..

Yep.. One of Maja Design's most amazing products..

The Sofiero line..

When it comes to kraft paper, my go to paper is the Bazzil Classic - 12x12 - Kraft..

Let's talk some more about dies..

Lots of Magnolia Doohickeys on here..

The Sakura Background is peeking out on the top and bottom of the card and I placed some wonderful flower sequins on the flowers to add more sparkle..

The Tilda Tickets on the top right corner..

And that tiny tag hanging from the flowers.. The heart on it is from the Heart Band Aid set..

The flowers are from WOC if you were wondering..

There's a doily inside..

The heart dies are from Marianne Design..

This set is called Craftables - Basic Shapes - Hearts..

On the back of the card you can see that I used the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and a die from the Triple Tear set..

Another doily, and some more half-pearls..

Check out that cabochon once again..

I really, really love it!

The image has a light coat of Distress Micro Glaze on, because I always protect my images with that..

The highlights are made with a Ranger White Opaque Pen and I also used a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the Tulip..

Gesso, lace and cheesecloth add that extra shabby feel to the whole thing..

So this is what I have for you today..

 Now go create something and join in the fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love ya!

I've finally had the time to finish my notebook with Tilda With Summer Pants..

Remember my 'Tinchy Technique'? No?? Here's the link to the post..

I've seen a lot of crafters all around the globe trying this technique and I couldn't be prouder..

Thank you all so much!!!

You've probably seen this notebook on a challenge blog already..

The 'You Are Beautiful' stamp is from the Stempelglede Follow Your Heart set..

Here's a close up of the wonderful WOC and Kort&Godt flowers I used..

There's some cheesecloth under those too and I covered them with Gesso..

This fantastic charm is from my stash..

I've added a touch of Gesso on it and again some cheesecloth and a wonderful flower..

All the DP's edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool, inked with Walnut Stain and machine sewn..

This cutie is called Tilda With Summer Pants..

Dancing Tilda With Stars

Hi everyone!

I love May and the weather today is fantastic here..

The sun is shining, the birds are singing.. It can't get any better, can it?

A colleague at work asked me if I could make her a card for a Holly Communion and of course I said yes..

I have tons of angel Magnolia stamps but I've decided to go with this one..

This is Dancing Tilda With Stars from the Little Christmas Collection 2012..

The papers are from Maja Design's Sofiero Collection..

I've used one of my GoKreate dies to shape the card..

Here you can see the Heart tag Magnolia Doohickey..

I've made the Vintage Seam Binding myself..

The Made With Love Charm is from my stash..

And so are the two pins..

I looove the So Wrapped Lovely die.. This one is from Magnolia too..

This Seam Binding has a slightly different tone than the one on the other side..

There's a doily too under all those layers..

And you can see that I've added some pearls here and there..

The image was cut out with a Spellbinders Oval and I've placed a matching Scalloped Oval under that..

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Kort & Godt and I Am Roses..

There's the Angel Wing Doohickey tucked under them.. Covered with some Shabby White Frantage..

I've added a bit of cheesecloth under those too..

The postmarks around the image are from Kaisercraft..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The spider web ribbon is gorgeous but I just had to add a little bit of lace on top of it..

I bought it on Etsy..

And then there's this magnificent charm that's just perfect for the theme..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and then coloured with Distress Inks as I said before..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

When I was done colouring I added some Gesso over it.. Not covering the whole image.. Just parts of it..

I wanted it to look like she was high in the sky between the clouds.. LOL!

The wings are covered with Stickles and there are some Liquid Pearl dots around her..

Hopefully I didn't forget anything..

Enjoy your day folks!

Hugs, Tina

Little Cute Tilda

Hi everyone!

My niece is soon turning 3 and I've decided to make her a gift bag..

I won't give her this one cos' I've realized it's too small but I'm gonna make something pretty similar..

I chose to use the Sofiero papers from Maja Design..

The whole collection is gorgeous but the ones with flower patterns are my favourites..

I've also used one of the strips cos' those crowns were a perfect match for my image..

Here's a Prima Shabby Chic Corner piece.. Painted with white acrylic paint and then completely covered with gesso to match the other embellies..

The border die is a Magnolia Doohickey called Scalloped Dotted Lace..

The tags are a Doohickey too..

There's another crown here.. This amazing charm..
I've also used my beloved Vintage Seam Binding and there's a piece of Cheesecloth under the flowers too..
I just had to apply some Chunky White Frantage around the image..
I've used one of my Spellbinders Opulent Ovals to cut out the image and then there's the Classic Oval under that and the  Floral Oval under both...

Some more WOC flowers and the gorgeous Kort & Godt lace..

And there's my brand new Shabby Pearl Rose Organza Trim.. Fantastic, isn't it?

I've applied some gesso over the image and I really like the effect it gives.. A nice detail..

I've added some pearls and Crackle paint here and there to finish the look.. 

The Fimo butterflies are gorgeous, right?

The molds are from Martha Stewart..

The paper edges are as usual distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and then inked with Walnut Stain..

They are machine sewn too..

This is Little Cute Tilda from the Once Upon A Time Collection 2013..

She's stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

List of colours:

Ribbon Dance Tilda

Hi guys!

I have a little something to show you today..

Noooo... It's not a card..

It's one of those little gift boxes I love so much..

This is Ribbon Dance Tilda, one of the stamps from the beautiful Magnolia Little Circus Moscow Collection 2013..

I usually make these boxes out of Papermania Textured paper and some Joy!Crafts kraft paper..

Some parts of the box are decorated with Chunky White Frantage and some with gesso..

I've used some white Vintage Seam Binding all around the box.. You can't see it on this pic but you'll get an idea when you get to the end of the post..

I just can't stop using those gorgeous heart shaped doilies..

And this butterfly is one of my favourite metal charms..

It has some half pearls and gesso on..

There's some lace under there too.. 

I've used a Martha Stewart punch to decorate the lid and the stripe of paper in this pic..

The image was cut out with a Spellbinders Circle and I've used a matching Scalloped Circle underneath..

All the paper edges are distressed and sewn..

And there are lots of cheesecloth around..

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I Am Roses and Kort & Godt..

All of them are covered with a small ammount of gesso..

The pin is from a Hobby House pin wheel..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

List of colours:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
