Tilda & Co ~Week 33~ "Hands"

On the Tilda & Co challenge blog this week we were asked to make a matching project and card that both feature "hands"...eek...I thought!!! Then I remembered that Donna sent me a wonderful charm in a DT kit which I hadn't got around to using.

Then I put my back out and I had a missing parcel that I really wanted to complete my matching project as this week we had an "extra" DT challenge...Arrhhhh I hate it when things work against you!

Anyway, here is my card with the hand charm. The papers are K&Co, the flowers are Prima & Papermania, the brads are from Papermania, the sentiment was made using the Around The Block Label Writer.

Here is my matching project, made using the contents of my missing parcel, papers etc are the same as on my card. All the images were stamped onto a single piece of card as I needed to be wary of making it too thick for the mechanism so I had much fun with the masking off.

The clock is for my two girls' shared bedroom so the colour scheme was not of my choosing (strictly no pink!!!). I am liking this so much I am thinking of making one for myself with my chosen colours!

Cute Card Thursday ~19~ Animals Only

CCT Challenge 19
Animals Only - No People Allowed
The challenge this week is to make a card using animal images only - NO PEOPLE OR CHARACTERS AT ALL!!

Not much from me on the crafting front since the weekend, I've had one of those weeks where I just went into meltdown.

Anyway, I thought that I would try and get at least one quick card made this week so here it is. I had a bit of a play with the Paper Gator and figured out the scallop edging which matches quite nicely with the scalloped Nestabilities circles. I really love the Paper Gator, I haven't found a single thing that it can't cut yet!

I used:
Papers - K&Co
Cardstock - Papermania and Core'dinations
Ribbon - Poppicrafts
Stamp - Whipper Snapper Designs

Tilda & Co template challenge ~12~

My wonderful husband went shopping yesterday, full of cold and whilst buying the essentials he took a special detour to find me a jar for all my flowers. How sweet is he? The jar he chose is absolutely gorgeous. Big enough for me to get my paw in and there is still penty of room for more.
Anyway it desprately needed some decoration so this is my entry for the Tilda & Co challenge. You needed to include their template and I thought this would be perfect.
I have called it Floral Fantasy.

I used:

Papers - Basic Grey
Ribbon - Local craft shop
Flowers - Prima
Label - Around the Block label writer
Liquid Chalk
Zig markers
Clear Sakura pen for the wings
Prismacolor pencils, blended with Zest-it
