Cupcake Princess Violet. Noor! Design UK

Hello! I've had such a busy week, still in pain with back and it's my partner's birthday also, so I really don't know which way is up at the moment. So I was very last minute with my project, but I hope you like it.

I've listed all the products I used from the Noor! Design UK shop at the end of my post for you.

I used the very pretty Romance paper pad and I decided to use a lovely Mo Manning digi called Cupcake Princess Violet, that I've had in a folder for ages, just waiting on the right project, I coloured her simply with my distress ink markers. 

Colours used: Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, Walnut Stain, Victorian Velvet, Hickory Smoke.

I had another play with the No End Border Dies and thought they'd be perfect for a 'magic' card, so I made a quick one. 

The image was quite a small one, so I fussy cut her and mounted her on the Circle with Butterflies, such a pretty die. I kept the embellishing pretty simple, just some glitter and pearls and layered in some cheesecloth. The sentiment is from the Paper Art Valentine set. Finally I added some touched of Gesso to help shabby her up a little.

That's all from me for now, see you soon! :) xx

Tilda with Bunny Balloon for Marvelous Magnolia

Happy Thursday folks!  Just one more day till the weekend!  Weekends for me (among other things) mean more time to craft, so I'm always looking forward to them.

Anyhooo...today starts a new challenge over at Marvelous Magnolia and it's another easy one.  Pretty Pearls, we want to see pearls of some sort on your project.  Easy right?

I was have one of my 'try something different' moments when I made this card and really wanted to try out a card with folds.  I went for a 'magic' card I've seen a few and they always look pretty.

I followed this basic tutorial but I changed the dimensions slightly. It came out like this.

I used Tilda with Bunny Balloon, one of the new stamps from the Magnolia Lost & Found collection.  I think she's just adorable.  I paired her up with some beautiful Pion paper. This is Poem of Spring from the Fairytale of Spring collection, the delicate colours are just lovely.   

I went a little overboard with the pearls lol, but it is the theme of the challenge and I really thought that they suited this style of card.  

With this style of card you really need to decorate all of it with DP as it's pretty much all on show one way or another as you can see from these photos.

I stamped her again inside the card, there's still plenty of room to write a message, and added a sentiment to the underside of the flap.  

I even decorated the back!

I do hope you'll join in our challenge which runs for the next 2 weeks, we have 3 great sponsors

The Rubber Buggy, Stamping Tilda, Scrapbooking Boutique

Well that's it from me for today, enjoy the rest of your Thursday, I'll be back on Sunday with my midway reminder post for Totally Tilda. : ) x x
