Hello Little Butterfly Tilda for Tilda’s Town Challenges…

❤❤❤❤❤

Time for a new Tilda’s Town Challenge!  This week we want to see you use an accessory stamp with Tilda and or Edwin.   What to use?  What to use first?!!!  It’ll be fun to see the combos that everyone comes up with!  I had a hard time deciding… I finally had to settle on what time would allow! You know me… down to the wire! = )

Here’s my sweet, sweet Tilda for today… Hello Butterfly Tilda and Tulip Walkway from the Butterfly Wishes Collection, in the store HERE.  I stamped her on Hammermill Color Copy 80# Cover paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copics.  I really like the hair combo I used this time,  E50 all over, YR31, Y21, E35 and E37.   The pinks I used on her dress are RV0000, RV11 and RV32.

❤❤❤❤❤

Basic Grey pattern paper… the logo stamp is from CC Designs Butterfly Logos set and don’t cha love this new Floral Swirl Corner die from Magnolia too!  Sweeeet! It’s in the store at Tilda’s Town HERE.  I cut it in green and pinks… clipped out the flowers and glued them on top of the green.  Added pearls…  Used the Perfect Layers tools of course!  A Wilton doily and a  Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

❤❤❤❤❤

So fun to be using my Magnolia stamps again!  Enjoy looking at all the team’s creations at Tilda’s Town Challenges, HERE.  We’d LOVE to have you join us and play with the new theme!  Awesome prize for a random winner chosen by Inlinkz and then the TT DT picks the top five!  It’s the talk of the town!  Tilda’s Town!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy weekend to you!  I’ll be back next week with CC Designs June release!  Ready or not… it’s June already!!!!

Marianne Design Basket Birthday Wishes…

***

If the woodgrain stamp is on my desk…I have to stamp it! hahaha… some stamps are just like that!  I really like the white basket on it though… I made the roses with the smallest flower from the CC Designs Phlox die and followed the tutorial on McGill’s website for mini roses HERE.  The basket is Marianne Design, the big leaf is a new die from her and so are the two new greenery dies I used with the roses in the basket.  The little white flowers are punched out of white card-stock and it’s hard to see them but there are three Martha Stewart pine branches punched out of brown card-stock in with the roses and greenery too.

The sentiment on the outside and on the inside are from CC Designs AmyR Stamps sentiment sets… Birthday Wishes is from the Great Greetings Set  and Thinking of you today is from the Best Birthday Wishes Sentiment set.  I used my Perfect Layers tools to mat … love them!

Sweet Garden Gnome Elsie…

❤❤❤❤❤

Hi everyone!  It’s CC Designs Thursday Review day on the ATS blog… HERE.  Illustrator Amy Young’s newest line is the Sweet November Garden Gnomes, Adele, Elsie and Tilly.  So charming!

❤❤❤❤❤

I used some October Afternoon pattern paper from an 8×8 pad..Sidewalks.  I paper pieced Elsie’s clothes, shoe and watering can.  I hand stitched the stamped stitched marks.  Some Prima flowers, a Wilton 4 in. doily from Walmart, machine stitching and the Leafy Branch die.  Oh,  I punched circles for the flower centers.  Used a stylus and mouse pad to make them round up and stuck them on a bitty piece of mounting tape.  Layers are all cut with the PERFECT LAYERING TOOLS!  love them!  Links below…

❤❤❤❤❤

I edged all the papers with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Looking forward to a pleasant weekend… lots of memories to treasure and more to make with family!  Some more stamping coming too! Take care!  ttul!
