Tilda & Co ~*~ 19~*~ Black & White.

This week over at the Tilda & Co challenge blog the theme is black and white.

*Challenge 19*
It's time for a bit of black and white theme, ideally no other colours to be used on you work.
(but if you are struggling with this then your magnolia image ( or 1 of if using more than 1 )may have 1 more colour of your choice.

Once again work must include a magnolia stamp, and could be anything aslong as it is arty crafts.

I found this to be very tricky because I like working with colours. So sorry that Tilda's face is smudgy looking, I used Tim Holtz black soot ink and I think it moved with the zest-it! Tilda has a paper pieced dress and ribbon. Her belt and boots are heat embossed.

I Used:
Paper - DCWV
Cardstock - Papermill
Dots and stitches - Sakura Souffle white
Scallop - Nestabilities
Stamps - Magnolia

Decoupage Tilda & Co

This weeks challenge at Tilda & co is Decoupage.

"Decoupage Tilda & Co
Now for this week..... I would love to see you decoupage with your magnolia stamps.
This could be as simple as having a Tilda or Edwin, that is holding something, you then stamp that image out twice, cut out the item he/she is holding and then layer it up with foam pads or silicone glue, to give a 3d effect
Or you could go totally wild and build up lot’s of layers.
Please remember your work could be a card, Layout(scrapbook page) Atc, Altered Item, anything you like! alsong as your work has Magnolia Stamp on there somewhere."

I couldn't manage to get a really good photo but I have decoupaged Tilda's hair and dress. I really quite enjoyed this challenge and loved the way these papers went together.

I Used:
Paper - K&Co
Cardstock - Papermill
Flowers - Prima
Buttons & thread - stash
Brads - Papermania
Eyelets - Making Memories
