Tilda and Friends Challenge "Check it out"

This week challenge is "Check it out". I have used a fairly big stamp, therefore, did not have that much space left on my ATC card. I have stamped the back of the cardstock and embossed with clear powder. I have used this nice chocolate-light blue checked paper to dress little tilda, and for the back of the clear button... Unfortunately, the picture does not provide a nice outcome, and it is darker that it is in reality... hope you will like it anyway !

Tilda and Co Challenge 12 - Template

This week, the challenge is based on a template. I used the little Magnolia stamp from the older generation, Easter is still there !! The paper is digital, from Designerdigitals.com, I love this website, I am starting on digital scrapbooking, but nothing equals a stamp and some Distress inks !!
Hope you will like it !

Tilda and Friends Challenge "Blue and Yellow"

Pretty in Pink - Tilda and Co challenge

For the second challenge, the theme is "In the Pink"... here is my card (got my old camera to work, for how long ? no clue... really need to get a new one!)



Check this one too (does not fit the Tilda challenge, so I did not propose it) that I have made for my aunt Christiane that got injured falling in ski, very impressing as she fell on 300 meters, I hope this cute little card will make her feel better !

ISMAKI Challenge NO 10

This week, the challenge was made by Marsup, beautiful sketch, not that easy to follow ! This time, I have decided to color my Magnolia stamp with the Distress inks I just got, I love the outcome ... Now I have 4 techniques, getting difficult to choose the one I prefer...
Unfortunately, my camera died... may it rest in peace ! Therefore, I had to scan the pictures, awful outcome ! However, I am turning 30 this year, maybe I can get someone to offer me a new one !!!
...............................................................................
Cette semaine le challenge était présenté par Marsup, sublime sketch, mais pas si facile à suivre ! Cette fois, j'ai décidé d'utiliser mes nouvelles encres Distress afin de colorier le tampon Magnolia, j'aime beaucoup le résultat... Maitenant, j'ai 4 techniques de coloriage, et ne saurai dire celle que je préfère...
Malheureusement, mon appareil photo est mort... paix à son âme ! Du coup, je dois scanner les images, et les rendus sont malheureusement atroce... Mais bon, j'ai 30 ans cette année, alors je pense que je vais pouvoir négocier un petit cadeau hihi

ISMAKI Challenge No 9

For my first participation at the Ismaki Challenge, I have used one my favorite little Magnolia stamp. The sketch done Inge was quite hard to follow, but I believe I have done ok ! I have distressed all the edge of every paper, given a vintage look to the card, my favorite !
The stamp was water-colored with my aquarellable pencils.
Hope you will like it !

Annie's fabulous creation

This is Annie project for Tilda and Co Spring Challenge this week, I just love these !! Please do not hesitate to visite her blog http://inknrubba.blogspot.com/ , she is a true inspiration to me, and is a fabulous DT member of my favorite challenge blog.

Tilda and Friends ATC Challenges - First challenge

An other challenge blog !!! this is exciting, I have made my card with my new cuttlebug dies, simple, but cute I think !
Do not hesitate to visit this new blog at http://tildaandfriends.blogspot.com

I made a card first, but then decided to try something new... I have made this card similarly as a mini-album, with a piece of cardboard to make it thicker... I have used a glittered sheet on which I have stamped little Tilda, and then cut the jumper and heart balloon out..
The inside pocket was aged with Distress Vintage Photo.

Hope you will enjoy it !

Shopping ? You said Shopping ?

Ok... got carried away !! How my god, I sat on the floor, with all my new purchases, and was so thrilled ! I got all the Cuttlebug packages from Ebay, huge lot in once, had to fight to have it ... but it was worth it no ??? Am I going to find enough time to use them all ? Unfortunately, I already had some, but I will re-sell it on Ebay probably...








And my new Copic Markers ... Love them !!















More more Distress Inks !!




Now I am going to scrap all weekend long... and hopefully, improve my skills !!!

Challenge 8-Wishing you well!

Here is my new card, used all my new goodies such as Distress Ink Vintage Photo for the aging... Tilda is so cute, I love the older stamps ! The Get Well Soon is embossed with the Cuttlebug and then distressed.

NEW STAMPS !!!

After 5 weeks, I finally received my new Magnolia stamps... !!!! I have been stamping like crazy hihi However, I ordered them unmonted.. not a great idea, as it does not stick well on Acrylic block... I purchases some special glue to stick them, but it is not ideal, therefore, I would not recommend you to buy those, take the EZ mounted or the wood when available.

My Collection

magnolia Challenge #5

Due to the snow and the attraction to the Swiss mountains, I was not able to find the time to do the last 2 challenges... but here I am back ! For this card, I have used my new cuttlebug dies Heart, and my new Aquarellable Caran d'Ache. I always use Turbentine to wash out the colors, gives a better finish in my opinion... I like this card, will certainly give it to my Honey for Valentine's day :)

Where are my stamps ???

I am soooo sad, I still did not receive my news stamps order Mid-January !!! If anybody experienced the same please let me know, I am going crazy everyday I check my mailbox... and same disappointement every time :( I have ordered 15 stamps, and 15 more 2 weeks later with a friend, we would have a very nice collection... once received !!
I am also trying to convinced my local, and favorite store, to wholesale them, like this I would not have to worry with the Postman being sick, or else to explain my sad little empty box :)

Tilda & Co second challenge

This week's challenge was about numbers... Christmas passed too fast, so a little card about this wonderful time of the year was my choice for this challenge!

More more Magnolia stamps !!

I can not wait ! I just posted an order through Magnolia.nu and purchased 15 new stamps !! I am so excited, I hope they come fast, fast, fast !!

Little challenge...

This card has been made for the Tilda & Co Challenge blog. Pretty in pink ! I used my new Cuttlebug for the paper flower, and the Distress inks to shadow the edges of the cards and elements. I think it is quite cute !

My favorite stamp collection : Magnolia !

I have discovered the Magnolia stamp through wonderful blogs, and find them more beautiful and cute than every other I saw !
I have started to do some simple cards, stamp in light black and color the Magnolia designs with Caran D'Ache color pencils (did not buy the Prismacolor, but will soon !!), and then use a black pen to emphasize the contours as I thought it will emboss the stamp (not satisfied yet, but hey, I am just starting and experiencing the joy of stamping !).
I love them so much ! Can not wait to go to my scrapbooking boutique and get more of them !
