Glitter Me Silly

Hello all … oh… today is a fun challenge posted over on Cute Card Challenge blog :-) “Glitter Me Silly” looove it – you can give me this challenge anytime of the year lol. Okay… there is something about this Tilda… first i saw her used on a card last year by my friend Jacqueline. After that i HAD to have her. By the time i had her – it was too late in the season to use her on cards.. and this year.. i don’t know.. i have started to color her 2x and than misplaced my design paper that i had matched the colors with and the images never made it onto a card. hahaha… just so you know there might be coming some more cards with her if i ever remember what papers to use with the image.

I think iam a bit chatty today. Back to the card… the paper here is one sheet of double sided Reminisce paper. I love the strong reds on it. The entire punched out lattice i used lots of Stickles and also on the swirls and candy she is having in her basket. On the ground i have used Flower Soft Polar White for sparkle. Polar White has a bit more sparkle in it than the Ivory color. Unfortunately i could not get it really nice to show on my picture. I think it is wroth to get that color. (you know me.. i do not use Flower Soft that often)

Other embellishments not mentioned above: Felt flowers are by “Little Yellow Bicycle”, red glove charm (Merry Minis – Michaels) ribbon (Magnolia), Hardware (Stampin up) Gems (Hero Arts

Thank you for visiting me today i appreciate your time.

Absolutely Fabulous

Jaqueline came up for this week with wonderful sketch that requires a big snowflake in the center. I like her sketch has only one layer of Designer paper and rest can be done just with embellies. The lady in my local scrapbook store cut for me 2 snowflakes with her Cricut and i had one half piece left – which i was able to use for today. Since i just had half of the flake, i felt that i had to dress that piece up a bit more .. so i have used first Shimmerz Babies Breath for shimmer and than once dried i added Liquid Pearls on it.

As far as choice of Tilda :-) i guess i went with her because i had never used her before and she is one that i have not seen on blogs often. I think she is in the Winter 2008 Collection with skiing Tilda and Edwin.

Holiday Wishes

I have stamped this cute Tilda with Memento ink onto Neenah Classic Ultra white CS colored her with Copic markers in and used Nestabilities (Oval large and Oval small) to cut her out. It is hard to see but the brown layer of paper is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder than i have added some felt snowflakes and pepped them up with red buttons. See those yummy red glass gems i have added in the upper right corner.. i received from Carole a bunch of them in all different colors. Love them! They are by Kars, a German company.
