Summer flower tilda-Magnolia stamp

Surprise ...... no Christmas card today and snowflakes.

Thought I should do something other than Christmas as I needed to as I am feeling a little overdosed on Christmas. Its only November and Christmas stuff has only been in the shops since October. It starts earlier and earlier each year, But in one way its good as it helps you start your shopping and spreed it out a little.

So I inked up Summer Flower Tilda and coloured her with delicate mauve shades.

 

I've coloured her with my usual combination of copic markers with a touch of polychomo

pencils

Skin : E000,Light Flesh 132, Medium Flesh131, Cinnamon 189

Hair: E50,E31,E35

Dress, Shoes and Wings :V91, E41.

Flower : BVOO, YG63.

I added dots for shading and interest. used W1,W3,W5.

Also added light cobalt turquoise 154 to outline little areas of image.

I have used a glue pen to outline flowers on papers (prima fairy bell) then sprinkled with glamour dust. At her feet I used Cosmic shimmer Glitter jewels glitter flakes.

Used Wild Orchid Flowers is a a similar shade to match with image.

Added a  Tim Holtz elegant flourish sprinkled with the glitter flakes.

Needed to cut flourish up and add it to assent the flowers.

Inside of card just same paper with added glitter and small corner of ribbon.

Few other little touches were using a border die to edge image, Ribbon, and few stick on crystals for flower centre, also on edges just to fill a space and add sparkle.

Oh Christmas Tree - Lili of the valley card

Well there certainly a chill in the air my heatings on full time now, and the jumpers that never went away all year are now joined by scarfs and next will be mittens. brrrr, and I'm still cold sat by this window in my little cubbie hole under the stairs like a little mouse.

From the title yep you have guessed it

...its a Christmas card for this post. This cute little stamp is from Lili of the valley

and its called  Oh Christmas Tree.

I coloured this cute little scene with Copic markers, and polychromos artist pencils

I did have a list of the colours used but... I have misplaced it sorry.

Here are the cute little roses I made from the same card I used to matt, and layer

I added some glitter to edges once I glued them in place. For the fern type foliage I used the marther stewart branch punch.

And here is how i finished off the inside of the card. This again is a lili of the valley stamp.

The snow flakes are a mixture of a martha stewart punch and a die cutter from Cherry lynn -snowflake dies.

Oops Sorry I have just scrolled back in my blog and found I did a very similar looking card to this a month or so back ..lol even used some of same colour combos and papers.

Will try not to do something the same next time. Must have been a look I liked to do something so similar.. (think I should have passed theses off as a series than admit my mistake of doing two cards very similar .. you wouldn't have known ..lol)

Spring swing- Lili of the valley (Photo wallet / gift wallet)

Hello again, Sorry I didn't get this post up at the weekend as I had intended. But its better late than never.

So now for something a little different to my usual posts.

This is something to for you to make your self's

this is what we are making.

Its a either a little photo  wallet or its just the right size to add the gift cards (credit card size)

So lets get started.

You will need a sheet of 12x12 paper cut down to 10½ inches by 10½ . I chose one that had a design on both sides as when its all folded you will see both sides of the paper.

Then I folded this down the middle

(image above)

After you have folded this down the middle then open it out and take each side and fold again towards the centre fold

 BUT  DON'T FOLD EXACTLY TO THE CENTRE LINE

 leave 1 to 2 mm off the centre line. for both side flap folds.

(See picture below)

Now open your paper out and it should look like this.

Right next we need to add some more folds

So all I have done here is taken each corner and folded it over till it meets the line we folded before.

If your paper looks like this we are doing well.

next bit

All I have done now is left corners we have just folded, and folded the two side in to the centre fold.

Now what you need to do is flip it over

as we are going to make some folds on this side now.

So now we want to fold the top section down

(see picture below)

How far down do you fold it I hear you shout.

Just till you see the start of the straight middle fold we have.

(See below image)

Now for the more difficult bit.

So  your top section is folded like above image right.

Now you want to bring up the bottom section up

and tuck the top section in to the bottom section

It will slide in  make sure you push it all the way in till it wont go any further.

don't crease it till its fully tucked in.

Once that its pushed in fully you can press it down flat to create your crease

So this is what you should end up with.... if it don't look like this oppps

you have gone wrong somewhere.

So now you have your little photo gift wallet. It has room for a few photos and sentiments cards

Right now its ready to add your touches

So I added cards to fit in each side of the pockets

You could add sentiments to these cards or use them as photo mats.

For the front I added a stamp from Lili of the valley- Spring Swing  added some seam binding ribbon to make a closure for the little wallet

I coloured the stamped image with my usual

Copic markers and Polychromos Artists Pencils

Rabbit: W0, W1, W3,W5 Pencils used warm grey III 272

Warm Grey IV 272, Cold grey III 232

inside his ear and nose R000

bunny tail C0

ribbon on swing : B000, B00

Oak leaves: G99,G94,G85.

Swing seat and branch: pencils Bistre 179, walnut brown 177

So that's it for today's post ... phewww that was a long one with picture overload.

hope you liked today's post.
