Fristly, I would like to wish a Happy 4th of July to all my American friends out in Blogland.
Here is my choclatey Tilda for the very first challenge over at Totally Tilda and of course I had to make it extra special.....
....as you can see it is a Criss Cross card which is the challenge over at Just Magnolia which is where you will find a brilliant tutorial........and then here is the...........
.......................Surprise!!!!!
and next the closeup........
I really enjoyed making this card although I didn't really have very many chocolate coloured papers. The ones I have used are from Funky Fairies (who are no more) and Summer Driggs. My Tilda has been coloured using watercolour crayons and there is some glitter on her wings and the frosting of her chocolate cup cake!!! I have used my nesties - ovals and big scalloped ovals to mount her and surrounded this with lace I bought in a local store. I have used a couple of "Cheeky flat clips" from Making Memories to attach the ribbon on the pull out piece. The roses have got crystal stickles all over them too!!!!
On the pullout piece I have matted and layered two DPs and then some printed paper which I scrunched up and then covered with distress inks and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Creme de Cacoa. It was an experiment but it worked OK I think.
So now are the few other challenges I would like to enter this card in......
Magnolia Down Under - Use newspaper (mine isn't actually newspaper but it is text - is this acceptable???)
One Stitch at a Time - Lace, Ribbon and or bows - well I managed two of the three!!,
Pile It On - Favourite things - Tilda and glitter,
One Stop Craft Challenge - Distressing,
Crazy 4 Challenges - use 2 or more ribbons,
If The Shoe Fits... - Spread your wings,
Speedy the Cats Challenge - Die Cuts,
Making It With Meslyn - Piece of Cake,
Craftilicious Challenges - Cute,
Charisma Challenges - Metal Mickey,
Crafty Creations Challenge - Ice Cream and cakes, and,
Quirky Crafts - Ribbons.
Oh and by the way don't forget to play in my Blogaversary Candy - it finishes on 11th July.
Hugs
