The latest Tiddly Inks challenge is also a Christmas one, with the theme Merry Berry. Reds being the keyword. So I finally caved in and did a red instead of a blue Christmas card!
I used Pion papers, Live and Love Crafts lace, Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers and coloured Santa’s Helpers in with Copics.
Hope you’re all having a wonderful Christmas time.
It’s Friday. Well, no, it’s not. But it was Friday very recently! That means Fab Friday with the Tiddly Inkers and this was my contribution for this fortnight, using the adorable Fairy Sunny Day. Everyone else were doing winter and Christmas themed cards, so I decided to be the awkward one and go spring!
I have used papers and a sentiment from Lili of the Valley, Noor Design dies, lace and pearls from Live and Love Crafts and of course flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Copics used: (skin) E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, (hair) E31, E34, E51, (flowers and outfit) G40, G82, G94, Y04, Y08, Y17, YR02, YR04, C1, C3, C5
It is Tuesday and time for a new Tiddly Inks challenge. This time it is anything goes!! How easy, right?! Or in my case, super hard! I spend far less time choosing an image when there’s a specific theme, than I do when I can choose whatever I want. I am awkward though, I know…
In the end, the decision fell on Shy Violet. The listed stamp is not just one, but two stamps. I used the other stamp, the flower, for my release card, and I thought it was time to use this cutie as well! All coloured in with Copics, of course. I went for a rather pale look for once, which I tend to find hard to do.
The papers are Lili of the Valley which I cut out using GoKreate dies and distressed the edges with purple. To jazz it up a bit I used extra distress ink on the second background and added frantage to some of the layers. The decorations are made with various goodies from Noor Design (the butterflies), Wild Orchid Crafts (the flowers) and Live and Love Crafts (the pearl chain, the berry flower and the lace). The ribbon I purchased online from a dress shop. Isn’t it pretty?!

Thank you so much for the honour choosing my card for your top 5. Thank you, Incy Wincy Design!
It has been a long time since I posted a card with a pre-coloured image, but it has been even longer since I posted one without an image on it at all. In fact, I don’t remember when that even was. That means I am due to post one, I am sure!!
Here is a card I made for my aunt’s 50th birthday. One of the blogs I admire is by Klaudia and her posts inspired me to make this card. Check out the totally awesome stuff on her blog.
I roughed up the paper, which is solid purple card and Maja Design, to give it a shabby feel. All the butterflies and leaves are made using Noor Design dies. The numbers are using QuicKutz dies whereas all the flowers are by Wild Orchid Craft apart from the berry looking ones which are from Live and Love Crafts. LLC is also the place where I purchased the lace.

Tiddly Inks Fab Friday was.. last Friday. That makes this.. Fail Friday on my part! Fail Friday is when you miss Fab Friday as you have no idea what day it is due to being ill and having jet lag. Doh me! Anyway, here is my Fab Fail card!
I used the super cute Faythe from Tiddly Inks. I coloured the image in with Copics and followed one of Alyce’s skin and hair tutorials at Kit and Clowder to get the hair like that, although I also improvised a little. As I have been having fun making a few more darker themed cards as of late, I followed up somewhat with this by drawing in the cracks, painting the edges of the card (at least I avoided black, eh?!), and using cheese cloth. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, apart from the berry looking ones which are Live and Love Crafts. The dotted paper and sentiment stamp is by Lili of the Valley and sadly I don’t remember where the orange one is from as I’d like more of it! I’ve used Go Kreate dies for the card shape, some Craftwork Cards card candi and a couple of ribbons.
Copics used: (hair) BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29, 100, (skin) E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R22, (dress) YR02, YR04, YR07, E19, (purple) BV, 00, BV02, BV04, BV08
