Another new stamp....

Here's another stamp from my lil' shopping spree the other day, isn't she just adorable? I couldn't wait to get her inked up and coloured, just discovered some fab tutorials on You Tube for creating shadow effect using copics, I will post the link later, when I can find it again!!



The layout for this card is from last week's challenge at Spoon Full Of Sugar, too late for the challenge but I enjoyed making the card anyway and there are so many valentine challenges out at the moment that I can enter it into. Love the layout, will definately use this one again, will try it with snowflakes sometime.

Angel hair and cardstock from stash, hearts cut using Sissix Heart die and Cricut George & Basic Shapes heart, Martha Stewart border punch. Sentiment shapes cut with SU! punches.

I am entering this into the following challenges
Stamp Something - Love Something
Charisma Cards - I Love You
Simon Says Stamp - Photo inspiration - red
Cupcake - Red & White all over, there is only a lil' bit of silver there....
Stampin' for the Weekend - Valentines

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.
