Just Edwin

Hi hope you're all doing ok,

I've always felt that compared to all the gorgeous creations we see with Tilda as the star...
that poor Edwin doesn't get much of a showing.

Well I came across another challenge blog for stampers who love Tilda and Edwin
Magnolia Stamp Lovers who are show casing Edwin for this challenge, so I had to join in.

I made a step card and added a die cut circle. After embossing with cuttlebug swirls I sanded the blue cardstock to show the white core for a wave effect.
The sky was done with chalk and the ship is a die cut in Magnolia pirate paper.
I tore some sand coloured paper and inked the edges with distressing ink.
Pirate Edwin, barrel and skull were coloured with copics.
'Ahoy' sentiment is from pirate stamp set and 'Happy Birthday' from DIY set both by Woodware.
I inked them while the nestability was still on.

Thanks for stopping by have a fun weekend.

Totally Tilda

Hi, this started out as a quick post this morning and i've only just had time to get back.
School hols...looking after my grandchildren...you know how it is!!!

This is one of the  samples I made for whichcraftuk using one of Paula's die cut step cards,
and thought it fitted the bill for the
Totally Tilda challenge which is to make a shaped card...no square, rectangle or easel cards.

 Stamped images are from Pirate Tilda collection and Magnolia papers.

Coloured with copics.

The sentiment is from the Salutations clear stamp set by Woodware

card candy from Craftwork Cards.

The step card is white although it looks a bit purple

A second card for the Everybody-Art-challenge ~ Pirates
and Magnolia Down Under ~ Birthdays

The recipe is the same as above. The sentiment that's hidden say's 'You're Amazing'


Thank you for stopping by,
Love

To Have and to Hold

Hi, hope you're enjoying the gorgeous weather,

This is one of the cards I made for the Stamp Magic show
 i'm going to enter the following challenges:
Tuesday Taggers~ Wedding Day
Stamp Something ~ Vintage with Flowers

The scallop step card is a new creation from Whichcraft uk. These were only launched on Sunday along with a couple of others so I don't think they are on the web site yet but i'm sure Paula will be able to let you know when they are...why not sign up for their news letter.

The size when closed fits into an A5 envelope.
I distressed the scallop edge with TH vintage photo ink.
 The lovely image is Tilda and Edwin bridal couple, which I coloured with copics.
I'm not doing very well for telling you the pens I used.
My notes have disappeared under piles of papers that i've been using for the last couple of weeks.
 It's been a busy month but i've enjoyed it soooo much!!
Dp is 'Something Old' from the Magnolia wedding collection and gold star dream cardstock from my stash.
Sentiments were written on the computer and inked with Vintage photo ink while the nestie was still on, it gives a nice border.
Martha Stewart heart punch and EK Success retro flower punches to make the flower.
The leaves from a woodware punch.
I would have put some pearls on  but couldn't get any ivory ones in time.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Do please leave a comment so I can visit you.
