Tilda Under Mistletoe

Good afternoon peeps! If you're looking for my Candy you can find it here 

I'm here with a scheduled post, (another 2 hours till I can head home from work) for my DT card for Marvelous Magnolia.

As we're on 2 week mode for the run up to Christmas, I'm here with a mid-challenge reminder.

We're currently making our challenges Anything Goes for a bit, to help you all out as we know how busy you all get during this time of year. I'd made my card before we changed to 2 week mode and Anything Goes, so it's a Shabby Chic Christmas Card.

Papers are Pion Design - Silent Night - Snowflakes I've distressed them and inked them with DI in Walnut Stain, sewn then by hand and then distressed a little more with some white acrylic paint.  I've used some cheesecloth over my bottom layer, the base shape is cut with a Go Kreate die.

The image is Tilda Under Mistletoe, isn't she a cutie? I love her as a redhead. I've added some little dots of glamour dust to her pinafore dress to look like sequins, but you can only just see it here.  The Trees are a Magnolia Doo Hicky Die, I've frantaged them in Shabby White and then added some liquid applique.

Flowers and ribbon are from The Ribbon Girl and the pearl trim, berries and pine cone are from Live and Love Crafts.  The leaf die behind the flowers is 

Magnolia Doohickey Die - Leaf and Swirl

I did put some lace on, but as usual it's almost completely hidden by everything I've added lol. Finally I've given the flowers and berries a splash of white acrylic.

Do pop along to Marvelous Magnolia and take a peek at the fabulous creations the rest of the DT have made, and there's still time to enter our challenge, Anything Goes, so it's super easy.

Thanks for dropping by and enjoy the rest of your day :) xx

Steampunk Marci at DTDF

Good morning!! Spare a thought for me as you read this as I'll be shivering in the cold waiting for my bus to work.  Yup it's another scheduled post from me, sharing my first ever DT card for Dies to Die for.

I've taken a break from Christmas today to share a Steampunk inspired card with you, I have a little bit of a secret love for Steampunk, but with this stamp you can have Steampunk and cute in one package!

Papers are Maja Design Autumn Basics, all distressed, inked with DI in Walnut Stain and hand sewn.

The super cute image is Steampunk Marci by La La Land Crafts, she's coloured in my usual Copics.  I added a little crackle paint in Rock Candy to the lenses of her goggles which looks fab in the flesh, but sadly I just couldn't get it to photograph well.

All those gears are from a Cheery Lyn Die set.

The clock is also by Cheery Lyn and the tickets are made with a Whimsy stamp set and matching die.

You can find all the details of theses products here with a link to the items in the store for ease of finding.

I hope you enjoyed my share today, don't forget to visit this post if you haven't already, for details of my Candy, a £15 DTDF gift voucher to spend on whatever you want from the store.

Enjoy the rest of your day folks, don't forget to drop by on Thursday for my Marvelous Magnolia DT card :) xx

Candy Winners

Good evening folks, finally made it home safely.  It's been a hellish day both at work and the journey home in the awful weather, but in the warm now and thawing out.

Well it's the last day for my Candy, I drew a name on hitting 50 followers and another on 31st October as promised.  The 2nd draw was claimed, sent and received, but I never did hear anything from the winner of the first draw and I was going to re-draw after the final draw tonight, but luckily she contacted me today and explained that she hadn't been able to get in contact due to ill health...just in the nick of time!  So she's getting a nice get well present in the form of a prize.  She's chosen the Promarkers, so that just leaves the paper collection left to be drawn.  So without further chit chat and dilly dallying I'll get on and draw the winner with Mr Random.Org

That's you

Dianne!  

Just let me know where you want it sent and I'll try and get it posted out to you by the weekend :) xx

Congrats to all 3 of my candy winners....and to those of you who didn't win......well, I've recently had some very good news which I'm not at liberty to share with you yet BUT, when I do, there will be bit of additional celebratory candy.  I haven't decided what yet, it could be a couple of stamps, or a gift voucher, so you'll just have to wait and see.  Enjoy the rest of your evening, I hope you're snuggled up in the warm, and I'll see you soon :) xx
