New tiddly release flower with Shy Violet

New Tiddly Inks release time! Yey! I actually managed to colour up two of the new images before they went live. They are so very cute! Here is the first one I did. It is the violet included with the Shy Violet stamp. Trust me to choose to colour up the included stamp and make a card with that, rather than the main one! This stamp is great though, you can use it for ANYTHING! Perfect!

Obviously I coloured it in with copics.. I’ll let you know the day I use something else! The papers are by Lili of the Valley, the doily Dovecraft, the lace Live and Love Crafts and the butterfly dies Noor Design. The flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts and I added dark pink glittery glue inside so they would match the flowers I coloured up. I’ve also used distress ink, liquid pearls, rows of pearls, and a ribbon from a local shop.

Baby Inks

Ok, so it’s not Tuesday. My post is late! As I was so busy working on the new Tiddly Inks release I never scheduled my post ahead of time and when I went to add it Tuesday morning the modem was dead and I’ve not had Internet until now.. doh! So here it is!

The new Tiddly Inks challenge theme is Baby Inks! I used Sleep Tight Baby and coloured it in with Copics. Do come play along, I’d love to see your makes!

The card base is made with Go Kreate dies. The berry flowers and lace are from Live and Love Crafts, the flowers and pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the ribbon from a local shop and the papers are by Lili of the Valley. I also used liquid pearls, a Noor Design die and a Martha Stewart puncher.

Special friendships

Here is a card I made this spring for the friendship card swap at Kit and Clowder, but I’ve only just now gotten around to adding it to the blog. There are far too many cards waiting to be posted, but I’ll try to put them up every few days now to get caught up a bit! For the card swap I sent this card as a blank one, with some motivational short quotes on the paper inside, as well as another CAS card which I wrote in and some goodies as well. Everyone loves goodies, right?!

This one is made using a Sugar Nellie image coloured in with copics. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the sentiment is by Lili of the Valley and the dies are by Noor Design.

Don’t be square

It is time for the first challenge where I am on the Tiddly Inks DT and the theme is don’t be square.

I have used the Tiddly Inks image Grow a Little Love. She is so adorable! I’ve used copics to colour it in and decided on a pink card this time. The shaped template is a die by Go Kreate and the lace is from Live and Love Crafts, as are the berry looking flowers. The rest of the flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts whereas the straws are from a local shop. The rest of the dies and punches I’ve used are by Noor Design, Spellbinders and Martha Steward. A dash of frantage around the image and distress ink around the edges of the card, pearls as the butterflies’ bodies as well as drawn on stitches were added as extra touches.

Special friendships

I’ve just had a short leave from work as my summer holidays and the time passed by much too quick! I had planned to get several images coloured up and cards made and I haven’t even looked at my crafting stuff! I could use another holiday already! The weather this summer has been wet and cold compared to last year, so when we’ve had a little bit of sunshine I’ve hardly wanted to spend that time indoors!

Here is a card I made a few months ago, which I never got around to posting. It is quite a lot simpler than my usual, without being entirely CAS. I love it though. The image is by Sugar Nellie (first time I’ve used one of theirs) and is coloured in with copics. The other supplies are mostly from a local store this time!
