Gift from Heaven Tilda


Aloha beauties!

I'm back with another card, this one has taken me a few days, my cousin kindly gave me a borrow of her mini sewing machine, I was going to buy one but she offered me hers to see how I liked it and I am loving it!  I tried a little sewing around the edges of the square background card to practice and I really like the effect it gave.  You can't really see it in these pics though.

I am going to be entering this card into the Simply Magnolia Challenge, this week it's a sketch, and a blooming good one, so here's my card . . . 


My lighting is pretty pants, I have a daylight that I use for taking pics but its always a little reflective!  I am using my latest purchase - Gift from Heaven Tilda, I'm in lurve! She is such a sweetie!  I have coloured her using TH distress inks.  I also put some white Frantage embossing powder around her, I added a little too much this time so I'll be more cautious next time.


My card blanks are from Craftwork Cards, I have seen loads of these shaped cards, but I know that many of them are created by the big go create dies, sadly I don't have a die cutting machine big enough for those dies so I had to improvise in order to get my papers the same shape and size.  So, I drew around the card blank on the back of my design papers and carefully cut it out and then stuck it to the card blank, it turned out great, well I think so!

Ingredients:
Embossing // Frantage in white 
Card Blank // Fanciful Card Blanks 
Flowers // WOC & Stash 
Ribbon, Pearls, Butterfly Punch & Doily // Old Stash 


I ordered some more stash goodies from the Ribbon girl on Sunday night so I am hoping that they arrive tomorrow along with a few Tilda's that I won on eBay.  I love getting post but I really must stop spending or I will have no money left to put supper on the table!


Much love 
Kirsty x

  16. Very pretty! Love all the little layered butterflies and the lace. Do you know, despite owning two sewing machines I have yet to use one in my card making! I just can't seem to be bothered to go to all e trouble of getting the machine out. Thanks for the inspiration. Maddy x
