Tilda with Lilacs

While lurking in the background for a couple of weeks, I have been trying to keep up with some of my favorite bloggers. Here is a card that I made after seeing something similar on Regina's blog, Agnieszka's Scrappassion and Cabio's blog.. The tutorial came from Bodils Scrappeverden blog.

The set

I used "Tilda with Lilacs" and colored her with my Copics.
The white lace is my new MS edge punch.
The lilacs have Flower Soft on them, thanks to my
daughter Katie for suggesting I buy some!

Thanks for stopping by!
I love to read your comments--they make my day!

Mermaid Tilda Came!!!!

I have been admiring the beautiful cards made by so many Magnolia-licious
crafters with the new Tilda summer stamps,
and waiting anxiously for my order to arrive.
They came yesterday!!!
Thanks Diana!!
(Magnolia-licious Store)
Immediately I pulled out Mermaid Tilda and inked her up!!
Then I pulled out the glitter---paper, Stickles, rhinestones!
Here is what I made:

Is she not a cutie-patootie?!!!

I colored her with my Copics and
used my scalloped circles Nesties to cut her out.
If you look closely you will see the acetate swirly waves.
Here is a little close-up:

There are 3 of these coming out from the sea plants.

Soft Green and Light Aqua

Saturday was quite muggy around central Connecticut, and I spent it at my newly installed but still disorganized craft desk! I was excited by the Colour Create Challenge posted on Thursday, to use the colors of soft green and light aqua. It is a delightfully happy combination! I have used it to make this card, not only for Colour Create, but also for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge and the Creative Inspirations Challenge.

sparkly things are so much fun!


I added a big button that has a cat's eye appearance
to make the star look bigger and more prominent.
I did some decorative stitching around the Tilda image.

Here is the inside:


I can think of so many occasions for this...might be a graduation card for my niece!
