Butterfly Tilda goes 3D......

As mentioned in my previous post, here's the project I've been working on over the last couple of days along with commissions and the odd spot of painting - watercolour where I can get away with it, otherwise emulsion :-(

Create 4 Fun challenge this week is a template to make a tag bag. Well my printer is throwing a wobbly, so I cheated a little on this one and cut my tags using a Sizzix red die and stuck those to a box, dimensions look about the same as the template, so hoping thats OK.



The Just Magnolia challenge this week is friendship and the Just Magnolia Monthly challenge is to 3D an image, so thought I would combine all 3 challenges and make the tag bag, which I haven't filled as I wanted you to be able to see the inside which I have decorated with offcuts of paper and a matching card.

Here's the other side of the tag bag. I felt it needed a bit more detail, so dug out some headpins and beads to add that bit of bling!



I love this image, these colours and papers, although I'm not sure I will be working with them again for a while, especially after water colouring about 6 images of Tilda, I was seeing Shabby Shutters and Spiced Marmalade in my sleep LOL!





There are 2 layers of Tilda on the tag bag and 4 on the card. I really enjoyed this technique, I hadn't thought of doing this to stamped images although not quite sure why, decoupage has never been a favourite of mine although I loved making medallion cards when I first started card making.

Anyway off to enjoy the sun while its out and do a spot of colouring, hope to catch up on some blog hopping later tonight.

Miss Anya hits the shops

Going to enter this card for 2 challenges, Spoonful of Sugar and Sketch & Stash, will be back to add deets later but gotta dash, got a train to catch....

What a tiring day, not used to these early starts and sitting in a classroom environment, only for a morning, makes me appreciate how the children at school must feel!! After a weary spell around tea time I'm full of beans again now, think I may go and make a card but first need to finish my posting from this morning. I loved making this card following the sketch on Sketch & Stash challenge this week, dug out my recently purchased (but buried under other recently purchased stash!), lovingly stroked Bloom & Grow papers, Miss Anya coloured with my copics yaay, I'm just loving them.... All the other goodies used here are from my recent shopping spree at Newbury except my much used scalloped oval punch. If you look closely you will see swirls punched on vellum using another new punch, gonna need a new bar for my punches soon, better make sure Barry has his trainers on this time when he starts drilling LOL!

See ya
