About Me

My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

Especially For You!

Good Morning, precious ones…..hope that you doing well today!

For you all today I have a card that I have made following the theme of SUMMER over at TOMIC…..my DT friends have made some utterly gorge card this week, so if you have not joined in yet this week, you still have a few days left to submit your entry :o)

On my card today, I have used a new set of Raspberry Road Design papers,
called Let Them Eat Cake….they are to die for, truly gorgeous!  Unfortunately I have more or less covered them with embellies, but you can see them better inside the card.  They are such yummy colours, and very shabby chic too :o)…..

001

The image is by Magnolia and is called Kneeling Tilda……..she is such a sweetie and look at the little ladybug……could you image if they were really that big….I have always loved them, but not sure if I would want one that big in my hand LOL…..

All of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, as are those utterly fab Small Metal Corners……love them to bits.

The little metal flowers {spacers} are from The Hobby House, I have added a little gem to the their centres.

002

Little Tilda has been coloured using Prisma and Polychromos Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

The sentiment is by Magnolia too.

003

I have seen so many cards in blog land with the Martha Stewart around the page punches used, that I had to have a go too :o)…….love the effect of it, the only thing that bugs me is it makes the card really big, would have like it a bit smaller….but hey ho, there you go!

page

I am entering this card into the following challenges :-

Sentimental Sundays Challenge – Summer
Papertake Weekly Challenge – Here Comes the Sun
Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge – Shabby Chic Friendship

Well thanks for stopping by today, lovely to see you and I will be back tomorrow with a hAnglar stAnglar creation :o)………

For anyone that is interested this card will be available on Ebay later this evening :o)

Catch you laters, my lovelies!

Hugs Tab xxx
