Here be pirates

This is the fist time I have used my Tilda Pirate stamp on a card. (can you tell that I've reccently aquired a new Magnolia stash?)

 

 

 

She's coloured in promarkers

The greeting is a hobby craft £1 unmounted stamp

The papers are kraft card and FEP spring feast - I really thing I need some more FEP pads. Everything I've made recently has been pink and green because I love this pad so much!

There is a little dovecraft glitter glue on the skull

The flower and brad are from docrafts as part of a big goody bag that I bought ages ago.

 

Christmas in red and green

 

This is my Christmas Tilda. I haven't used any Christmas papers (mostly because I didn't have any) and the roses wern't the right colour- so I've coloured them in using my promarkers- the colour spreads really well. I also coloured in my doily- a nice light pink.

 

 

I used Promarkers

Tilda stamp

WOC flowers

some green dotty paper

silver leaves and crystal flowers that I've had for years.

A nice simple card.

 

 

Christmas number 1

I actually love this card. This is my Tilda with presents. Another Leeds festival make.

 

 

 

I used Tilda with presets

a docraft noel stamp

Docraft glittered vellum

Dovecraft glitter flue

a plain card background

 

 

Dual use

This is my entry for the Totally Tilda make a bookmark challenge. I love her. I'm a massive reader and I just happened to be reading Artemis Fowl when I made this (childish I know).

Having put a loop in the top of the ribbon I also discovered that she makes a good bottle tag! versatile! :)

For this bookmark I used-

Tilda magnolia stamp

Promarkers

Kraft card and some paper from my stash

papermania gold split pin, ribbon and stick on gems.

I would like to enter this in the following challenge-

totally Tilda- make a bookmark

A fairytale with a heart

Ok so these aren't the best photos in the world but I'm still in leeds.

The festivals been good so far- the best bits being the comedy tent (alternative stage) and the fact that Mr Jelly can get me back stage every where but the main stage. Seeing "of monsters and men" play 2 feet in front of me was pretty cool..

 

This is my first use of my Prince Edwin stamp. I do love him.

 

 

I used a heart that I've had for years- its slightly padded.

Tilda and Edwin stamps coloured with promakers

Paper from first edition "spring feast" as well as some kraft card

I've used dovecraft glitter for the glass skipper and both crowns.

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following-

 

Just magnolia- Show me a heart

Tilda's Town- anything goes

Sweet stampin challenge - out of the frame

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A gluey mess

 

 

Welcome from the Leeds Festival site! As previusly mentioned Mr Jelly is currently working on building the festival site so he got me a free ticket too! I'd like to say that I'm sluming it like the people who paid hundreds of pounds to get on site but the truth of the matter is that I'm sat in my nice dry caravan, having just had a shower, writing on Mr Jelly's laptop with full wireless internet access. So festival Glamping then. :)

While Mr jelly has been working over the last few days (and seeing as nothing was happening on site) I've been sat making cards. The above photo is what happens when you use Hobby crafts own brand silicon glue. That was the third squeeze of a brand new tube!

 

Anyway the below is my entry for the following two challenges-
woc- summer flowers

songbird challenges - Some where over the rainbow.

 

For these cards I used-

Tilda magnolia stamp

Promarkers

Woc flowers as well as some flowers from my old stash

Dovecraft glitter glue

Kraft card

The totally tilda craft challenge this month is to use Kraft card. I confess that I had no idea what that was. I googled it, thought- oh I don't have any of that and decided not to enter.
Then mr Jelly came home from Leeds and took me to the new range store which open near by on Friday. Their craft section was surprisingly large and I promptly bought some new items to play with. I also found some kraft card :)
The card below is nearly totally made from things I bought today.

I stamped Tilda directly onto the Kraft card and coloured her in using my promarkers. She's very dark but I kind of like her that way. I also used the Kraft card to mount some of my pretty papers. I love her!
I used-
Dove craft tea party bunting
First edition paper spring feast
Docrafts bows
Kraft card
Magnolia tilda
Promarkers

I would like to enter her in the following challenges-
Totally Tilda- #53 Use Kraft card
LHOSM - challenge #50 your favorite image

Vikings

My recent spurt of magnolia stamps was partly because of the great lust I had for this stamp.
On this card I've used the following-
Tilda magnolia Viking stamp.
Promarkers
Paper cellar Victorian classic papers
Pin flair novelty easel cards
The greeting stamp came free with a magazine
And woc flowers.

Ok- I think I need help. How do you rotate pictures on Blogger? Also- how do you guys take such clean shots? Mine have so much background noise! Help!

This is my next challenge entry.

flowers and pearls from WOC

tildas town - Shabby Chic

Another point I need help with- how do you keep track of which challenges are on and when?

Goodies

My haul from wild orchid crafts just landed. After seeing everyone's beautiful cards made using products from their site I had to jump on the bandwagon. Looking forward to using these goodies.

My first challenge

Mr fox is currently in Leeds setting up for the festival so Lucy and I drove down to see him on Friday night. While he was working yesterday morning I got out my new magnolia stamps and my papers and thought I'd have a go at making a challenge card. Here's my attempt.

I used- Magnolia's Wizard Tilda coloured with promarkers.

Ribbon from my stash

Papers that were free in the spring issue of Crafts Beautiful magazine

Handmade, torn paper flowers as per the tutorial on little birds crafts.

I would like to enter this card in the Live & Love crafts layout challenge and the just magnolia anything goes with handmade flower challenge.

(please ignore the rubbish caravan photos- I took them with my ipod just in case I damaged the card on the drive home)
