60's Tilda

Hiya, hope you are enjoying your weekend and have had some nice sunshine.

Thought I would just pop on and share this little card with you.

I have had this cute Tilda stamp for quite some time and had never got around to using it, although I love it. I coloured her with my whisper pens and sat her down on a shapeablity. I edged the paper, which I believe is retro flowers but can't remember who it's by , using an MS punch. The sentiment is Craftwork Cards and the flowers, pearls & ribbon are from stash.

I've decided to enter this into the Just Magnolia challenge this week as the theme is Anything Goes so no sketch or theme to follow. I've just checked out the DT creations and they are amazing as always.

Well better go and get some lunch prepared before I collect Mum.

Catch you later,

Hugs, Pat xx

Just Magnolia challenge

Hi hope your having a good weekend so far and you're not getting too wet.


Well I've spent part of the afternoon crafting and creating my card for the Just Magnolia challenge. It's a great sketch this week so if you haven't checked it out I should pop over and take a look at the DT cards which are fabulous as always.


Well here is mine

Card base made from Crafters Companion embossed card

Papers by Craftwork cards and the brown panel embossed using swiss dots folder on the Cuttlebug.

The image is Tilda with lamb coloured with Whispers and matted onto gold mirri boards ,faux stitching around the edge.

The flowers are cut using the cuttlebug die and the sentiment and candy from Craftwork Cards.

Just Magnolia challenge 4

Good morning all. I was up early this morning so thought I would crack on with the Just Magnolia challenge. The challenge this week is to include some stitching, either authentic or faux, on your card. The design team have come up with some fantastic creations to inspire us.

I used a scalloped edge black base card and added gold dots.

DP is Basic Grey

Image of course is Tilda with lamb coloured using Whispers brush pens and Tombow blending pen. I shaded the edges using a distress pad and did some faux stitching around the edge.

The flowers are cut using my new die for the Cuttlebug.

The brads and ribbon and braid are from stash and the sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

Off to check out Wendy's sketch challenge now.

Catch you later. Do have a good day and thanks for visiting me.

Hugs, Pat xx

Just Magnolia's first Challenge

Hi everyone in crafting blogland. Incase your not aware there's a great new challenge blog started this week, Just Magnolia. They have a fantastic DT so I just know it's going to be an inspiration to us all. To tempt you a little bit more there's some fantastic candy on offer so don't delay, go check it out.


This is my creation:-







The stamped image is of course a Magnolia and it's been water coloured.
The base card is made from Bazzill bling
The circle paper is cut from a Papermania Designer cards pack that I bought cheap a while ago and although I wouldn't use them as cards thought they would be useful for matting.
The circle is cut from pearl card using the nesties
The flowers ares stamped (another bargain bin find) onto basic grey sugar paper & cut out.
Sentiment from Craftwork cards
Gems & fibres from stash


Thank you for visiting and I'd be delighted if you'd leave a comment that way I can visit you too.
Have a good day.

Hugs, Pat xx
