With Love...

Happy Friday! Hope you are well and looking forward to the weekend - I know I certainly am! I wanted to share with you a pretty little card that I made using some fantastic DTDF stash.


I just love CC Design images. I haven't played with them for ages and I forgot how much I enjoy colouring them with my Copics. I think this particular one works really well with these yummy MME papers. 

As usual, all the linkies are below for extra ease :)

Butterfly Wings

Here is my card I have made for the current challenge of 'Anything Goes' which has now moved to this blog. You can see the post HERE and link your creation.

For my card I have taken a white Craftwork Cards Size 5 card blank and made a base from Echo Park Springtime papers and added a MFT Die-Namic Small Scallop Border cut from Bazzill Kraft. I have then added a circle of white CS cut using an MFT Die-Namic Circle Stax and mounted it with a Nestabilities Big Scallop Circle (currently not in stock but can be ordered). I have then stamped the CC Designs Butterfly Wings stamp with Memento Angel Pink ink and duie cut with the Wings die. Last but not least I have stamped the sentiment from the CC Designs Amy R 'Many Thanks' set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to more white and cut this out with a MFT Die-Namics Fishtail Flag Stax die. Finsihed off with MME Lush Rhinestones.

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you can play along in our challenge.

Rose Garden Tilda

You dont see a Tilda from me for weeks and weeks and all of a sudden two in a row lol.  I blame it on the Distress Markers, Tildas are just perfect for colouring with the DM’s.

bev-rochester-magnolia-rose-garden-tilda

I have used Rose Garden Tilda, stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with Distress Markers and Re-inkers.  I’ve added Stickles to the flowers.  I am really pleased with how the grass turned out (much easier than doing it in copics). 

bev-rochester-magnolia-rose-garden-tilda-1

The papers are Magnolia Summer Memories and I have brushed gesso along the edges. I added some Green Fringe Trim along the bottom for a change, quite like the look.

It's My Job!

Hello, so sorry I have not been here for the last couple of weeks to share some of my weekends crafty endeavours...I stupidly decided to have a crafty sort out....and it is still a work in progress for a self confessed hoarder!!!

So on to the card I am showing you today...

I have used one of the new CC Designs images called Sassy Emma which I have stamped onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E23/E25/E27
Clothing - C0/R37/R39/B91/B93/B95
On to the same piece of cardstock that I stamped the main image on, I have added an Inkadinkado sentiment called Don't Grow Old  using  Versafine Oynx Black Ink. The papers are all My Minds Eye On the Bright Side - One which I have layered with some red cardstock (not sure who it is by...but you can find red cardstock HERE). I have embellished with a little bling, a little string and a flower made with the Die-namics Loopy Bloom die, and a scrap of denim from an old pair of my daughters jeans. It works just as well...if not better when used to cut felt (of which Tracy has a selection HERE).

Don't forget you have a couple more days to enter the current challenge...as we will be back on the 18th with a brand new one...You can find the challenge details HERE.

Dream BIG!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! We've had a few little glimpses of sunshine here in Southampton today, so I've got my fingers crossed for the weekend ☺.

I've decided to share with you a little card I created using some fantastic Bazzill papers from a great collection called 'Dino-Mite' and a super sweet dragon from Magnolia (links at the bottom of this post).


Because the image is quite large, I decided to keep the rest of the layout pretty simple. This also maximises the effect of the lovely papers. 

The sentiment comes from the MFT 'Big Greetings' set. It is a fab set full of lovely 'BIG' greetings. The only problem is.... I can't find it on the DTDF website! Knowing Tracy, she probably has it though, so drop her an email if you *need* it!

I have stamped the greeting - two sentiments from the CC Deigsn AmyR Handy Additions set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added this to the card.I have then cut an MFT Die-Namic Butterfly from another sheet from the EP collection and added this on top. Decorated with MME Lush Rhinestones to finish.

90th Birthday

Here is a card I made for my nan for her 90th Birthday. I have made a pnel from a Nestabilities Square die - currently not in stock but can be ordered and decorated it using MFT Die-Namics dies. I have cut two Leafy Flourishes, cutting one down a little with a pair of scissors and added them to the square with liquid glue. I have then taken a sheet from the MME Miss Caroline Fiddlesticks Collection and cut this using the Die-Namics Royal Rose Die. I have wrapped this up and then gently rounded the petals with an embossing tool. The sentiment is printed from my PC.
