Totally Tilda…

I love the name of this new challenge blog… Totally Tilda!  I just had to make time to play along this first week and I hope to keep up with all their challenges… that’s a bit lofty for me but I’ll try!  The first theme is “Chocolate”, rich browns and creams with a dash of color.  I started out with this older Basic Grey paper and the paper ribbon doilies HERE from Basic Grey Capella release.  Tilda and the Garden Gate are both in stock HERE.  I did cut everything out… oh my what was I thinking but I really enjoy cutting! So no biggie!  Some older Prima flowers and the punch center from the Punch Bunch,  Martha Stewart butterflies, “thinking of you” stamps is from Penny Black  and Stampin Up Melon Mambo card-stock.  OH,  don’t forget the nestabilities dies… HERE.  Tilda and the Garden Gate are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  I used the E50’s and that is all.  That one cheek got a little “bit” too much color IMO…oh bummer…some colors just don’t come off either!!! lol  Oh well,  it was fun,  I’ve been wanting to try the sepia look!   I’m also linking to the Cards Blog for their Monochromatic coloring challenge!  oh happy stamping, cutting and coloring! Isn’t it amazing how the stamping world has grown!

see ‘ya later!

Summer Fun, swinging and jumping rope!

 

Jumping rope and swinging are a popular Spring through Fall activity for myself and the grandchildren!  I just had to have these two adorable Magnolia stamps to create with.  The flowers are from last Summer’s Magnolia Summer Kit.  I masked and used my Stamp a ma jig as I stamped.

Beach Bound Lili and a VW “bug”…

I love this new Beach Bound Lili from Inky Impressions and the new beach stamps from Printworks! I had a lightbulb moment to use them together but then it was challenging because I was looking at the stamps and not how they would stamp!  You know,  the other direction!  So back to square one for a bit there! lol

Tilda, Family and What’s New!

(E.T.A. 7:25 pm)  WE JUST HAD A SHORT, WILD, WINDY THUNDERSTORM!!!  GUESS WHAT?!  Then bright sunshine and a rainbow… I grabbed my camera and  took this out the window, so it’s not great but how COOL!

Tilda is bringing us a great reminder today, especially since it’s that time of year around here!  This cutie Tilda in Spring Rain is available HERE, part of the Chasing Butterflies Collection.  Colored with Distress Inks available HERE.  EK Success Medium Retro flower punch and leaf punch.  I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher instead of thread in the button holes (I did put them in by hand).  The cute saying is from an Inkadinkado clear stamp set called Friendly advice available HERE,  I still need to get this one HERE,  so cute!  Gingham and polka dot paper is by October Afternoon…scallop ledger paper is from Creative Imaginations.  I edged everything with Antique Linen Distress ink and the ink blending tool (link in sidebar).   Tilda and the sentiment are stamped with Versafine Onyz Black Ink available HERE.

Linking to the Magnolia Down Under Challenge blog today…the theme is polka dots!
