Divas By Design Wings & Things

Its time for Team B over at Divas By Design to showcase this weeks challenge & this week its Wings & Things. This can be paper or embellishments, or images showing wings.
This week we are sponsored by Delicious Doodles

I started out choosing an orange piece of card, its so easy to go for white all the time isn't it? The BPs are both from stash. I then coloured a piece of gauze using Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink & placed onto card.
The feather came from stash, but I was not happy with the colour, so coloured with a Promarker & placed it underneath a birdcage which was from a  template over at UKScrappers, which was coloured using Spiced Marmalade again. I added some purple twine across the card which looks like the parrot is sitting on it.

A Magnolia die was used for the dragonfly, which is again coloured with both Promarker & Distress Ink. The image is Magnolia & coloured with Promarkers. I used a MS punch to create the vine down the side.

I added flowers from stash to the bottom right of card.SU die was used for the lower left, distressed again with Spiced Marmalade & dew drops added. The sentiment is an old QVC one & lastly a leaf charm added to complete the card.

Butterfly Tilda

It seems ages since I posted here, I dont know where the time goes & this last week, I have not been in my craft room much at all. Apologies as I have not got around my favourite blogs either this week.
I was asked to make a girly, glitzy card with a butterfly theme, so here is my card. The BP are from stash, I coloured the doily with a Promarker to get the colour I wanted. Butterfly Tilda is coloured with Promarkers & her wings slightly glittered.

The butterfly is a Magnolia die, the button is a SU die, as is the mount for the Happy Birthday sentiment. I just love this ribbon that my friend gave me, isn't it fab? Flowers from stash of course.

The 50 I made using a Cuttlebug alphabet die, a few buttons from stash & more of that fab ribbon & voila an Easel card with a butterfly theme as requested.

Tilda in Edwins Village

I started off stamping up Edwins Village which was a recent purchase & coloured with Promarkers. I then used a Nestie to cut out the scalloped square to make a frame around the village scene & edged it with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. The ribbon is from stash & can you see the Happy Birthday on the top one? Tilda is Shopping Tilda & is again coloured with Promarkers.

I added a Cuttlebug border which has been distressed using Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink, as has the Magnolia tag die. The sentiment is by Cuddly Buddly. Flowers & pearls also from stash.

All flowers from stash, mostly part of the lorry load that my friend brought back from Thailand..lol.

Dream Valley Animals

The next challenge over at Dream Valley is Animal, so we want to see your creations using animals, domesticated or otherwise. This week is sponsored by Mel herself who is putting together a surprise package.
On my card I have used papers from Bo Bunny Zoology collection & created a frame, underneath is a silhouette cut on my Craft Robo from a CD I bought years ago (2007) called Just Cutters. I love this scene as elephants are simply my favourite animal. I added Elephant from Pets & Animals Collection 2009 & coloured him with Promarkers. The sentiment is Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012.

You can see the adorable little elephant charm added to the sentiment.

This corner is also made by myself. I used a template over at UK Scrappers & coloured it with a Promarker & covered it with Glossy Accents. Flowers from stash.

Tilda with Hellebores

Another Tilda I am afraid. I just love these images & between me & my 2 friends who also love them, we are building up quite a collection.
On Thursday, 2 of us went to Sir Stamp A Lot & once again, did not come out empty handed. Here's one of our new purchases Tilda with Hellebores from Sweet Christmas 2011 collection. Coloured with Promarkers. BP used are Crafty Individuals Book 1 & a Magnolia paper called Something Old. I also used Papermania Portobello Road. All edges are distressed.

I bought a Marianne Designs birdtable & picket fence, don't you think that is so cute? I have been after the Magnolia fence die for ages, but this one was much cheaper. I distressed it with Pumice Stone distress ink.

Ribbon from stash & gauze from my First Aid kit (thanks Rebekah for the idea). The flourish is a Sissix die run through the Cuttlebug.

Lastly flowers from my recently grown stash..lol.

Its a Jungle out there!

I have been collecting Magnolia stamps for a while now & when I see a bargain, I snap it up, so I have a collection of the animals now, as they are part of the Pet & Animals Collection 2009.
I started off with a side stepper card. I used Jungle Edwin & Colibri on the upright. Both coloured with Promarkers & highlighted with Prismas. I made my own grass for Edwin to stand in & a MS punch to make the jungle vine.
On the back step is Elephant, once again coloured with Promarkers. He is placed in front of a hill (sort of lol) that I cut out & I made more grass & placed a few little flowers behind it.

Once again, I added another jungle vine.
The next step has Lion, coloured with Promarkers & highlighted with Prismas. I cut out a rock & coloured it, again placing some hand made grass & flowers on top.
Finally in front is Jungle Leaves, & I added several flowers.
Sentiment is Papermania.
