Winter Tilda Hanging Out

Happy Saturday everyone.
We are about to get hit with snow and ice this weekend but luckily, it will all return to our normal rain on Monday.
Hope everyone is well and not suffering with the colds and flu's that are going around. Just found out that my grandson has the H1N1 flu, poor little guy.

I had some time to make a few cards today, some I put a little more time in and others, I was trying to hurry so that I can get my Christmas cards completed. Only 4 more to go.... it costs more to mail the ones with the fancy or bumpy embellishments so I decided to make some that were flatter. I actually found that to be hard to do, since I have been into all the fun accessories.

Well today, I have a card with Winter Tilda, following the Midnight Madness MMSC31 challenge. It is a rather simple card so will not go into a lot of details. I did put Radiant Pearls on the flowers & leaves to create some shimmer, the rest is self explanatory.



Supplies

Thanks for stopping by, hope you will take time to look at my other creations.

MMSC#26 & More Blog Candy

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I was either busy or fighting a migraine so I did not get any cards made. My back is giving me fits so I will be going in to see the Chiropractor today, then I will be much better.

So today, I have a card for two challenges. One is for the Midnight Madness (MMSC) #26 where I followed a sketch and the other is for Creative Card Crew #35 where I had to include ribbon and gems.
It came together pretty well, I bought some more colored Prismacolor markers and so I just had to try them out. I love the sage/olive greens. I made more flowers to match the card and I used a different Cuttlebug design on the flowers. I inked the edges of the cream colored leaves and then added some ribbon and gems.

Hope you like it, I would love to hear any comments.

Lily in Red & Green

Good day to you all. I found this adorable digi stamp at Pink Cat Studio. They have some really fun designs to use. I like the way you can adjust the size to match the card you are making.
This time I used colored pencils and it did not turn out as well as I would have liked...I think I will go back to my Prismacolor markers. This card is for the MMSC25 challenge, I used the Fleur De Lis Spellbinder die and cut it in half - I liked how it showed some of the background. I added pearls to the center of the flowers which fit right in with the background paper. It is hard to see but I used Liquid Applique for her 'muff'. To follow the MMSC design, I needed a buckle but I did not have one so I used something else in my stash to create a similiar look.


Hope you like it, let me know what you think?

Christmas Cardinal

Hope you had a good weekend. Mine was a bit on the sad side for I attended my brother in law's memorial. He was such a wonderful person and it is hard to see someone get sick and pass away so soon. He was greatly blessed with a lovely wife and a fantastic son. He lived his life with a testimonial to God and it carried through until his last days.

Now onto my card for today. It is for the MMSC24 challenge. Whoa, that was a hard sketch for me to come up with what to do. I decided to turn it on it's side.


I wanted to make it a Christmas theme, which you will see more of. I used the Spellbinder to create the basic shapes and the rest was coloring and a little bling. I did not get a chance to complete the inside....will do that later.


Let me know what you think?

Tilda Leaves - MMSC23

I stayed up late last night making this card. It was so much fun, I just love fall leaves and I wanted to make something for the Midnight Madness week 23 challenge.

Midnight Madness is having their first Blog Hop, where you have a chance to win a fabulous prize. It is so much fun to hop to all the blogs, collect the clues and enjoy seeing all the cards that were made by so many talented artists.

For my card, Tilda was holding a bird but I put a pumpkin in it's place. The basket and rake were from a Sandylion sticker set and it helped to make the scene complete. To follow the sketch, I needed something to fan around the image and so the obvious choice for me was leaves.

Hope you like it, I would love to hear your comments.



Supplies:
CS & DP - DCWV
Stamps - Tilda Bird on Hand from Magnolia, Single Pumpkin from Darcie's, Double Pumpkins from 'unknown', Sentiment from Peddlers Pack
Sticker Set - Sandylion
Punches (small leaves) - EK Success
Others: Silk Leaves, Ribbon, Spellbinder dies, Prismacolor markers
