Happy Anniversary

I just finished this card for my husband's cousins who will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary on Friday. For this card I used the Loving Bridal Couple stamp. The card base is 6x6 and I used textured Whisper White and Bashful Blue cardstock from Stampin' Up! The layers are adhered with stampin' dimensionals and I sponged the white cardstock with bashful blue ink. The flowers in Tilda's hair and in her hand are highlighted with dazzling diamonds and Crystal Effects both from Stampin' Up!

Here is the recipe:

Stamps: Loving Bridal Couple

Cardstock: Whisper White textured and Bashful Blue by Stampin' Up!

Inks: Bashful Blue

Accessories: Copic markers, Prismacolor pencils, Big Shot with embossing folder, heart border punch, stampin' dimensionals, pearls, ribbon, dazzling diamonds and crystal effects all by Stampin' Up!

Stylish Tilda

Today's card uses Stylish Tilda in shades pink and brown. Tilda is colored using Copics, cut out with detail paper snips and attached with stampin' dimensionals. It takes a while but the effect is so nice. I used a retired designer paper from Stampin' Up! and stitched the perimeter with white thread. The base card is 6x6 Rose Red cardstock with alternating layers of designer paper, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White cardstock all by Stampin' Up! I used the circle dies for the Big Shot and the circle scallop Nestabilities. The Whisper White circle is dry embossed using an embossing folder and sponged with Pretty in Pink ink. The sentiment is a retired Stampin' Up! stamp. Over the years I have kept all of my retired Stampin' Up! sentiments as they are so beautiful and I never seem to have enough.I added color to the flowers using Pretty in Pink re-inkers and added dazzling diamonds stampin' glitter. I also added stampin' glitter to Tilda's wings for that little extra sparkle.

Here is the recipe:

Happy Friday everyone! I started this card three days ago and planned on entering it in a Stamper's challenge but as I worked on the card my original idea changed and before I knew it I no longer was adhering to the rules of the challenge. Oh well... I hope you like how it turned out. The stamp I used is Tilda holding Marguerettes and the paper is from Stampin' Up! I used Copic markers and colored pencils with Gamsol to color the image . The ribbon came from my collection.

Sitting Tilda with Bow

For this card I used the stamp "Sitting Tilda with Bow." The image is colored with my Copic markers.I embossed the background paper as well as the cardstock that I used for the flowers. I mounted the flowers with stampin' dimensionals and then curled each leaf using my Stampin' Up! bone folder. Small pearls from the Pretties Kit were adding for some extra softness. The papers are vintage so I do not have a designer. All of my layers have been stitched by machine. This photo really does not do justice to this card. It is so delicate in person.

Stylish Tilda

I just finished this card for a Sketch Challenge in which the basic layout of a card is given to you and then you design a card based on that layout. I used a stamp called Stylish Tilda. This is from a stamp collection by Magnolia of Sweden. I saw my first Tilda image a couple months ago and just fell in love with her.

I used Copic sketch markers to color Tilda. These markers are so incredible to color with. I have never been able to blend colors so beautifully! The papers are so beautiful and such a color inspiration. I wanted a very muted color effect in keeping with the softness of the papers.

Here's the recipe:
Stamp: Stylish Tilda
Papers: Designer Paper, Stampin' Up! textured Whisper White cardstock
Inks: Black stamp pad, Copic markers
Accessories: Ribbon, buttons, Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds all from Stampin' Up!
