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)

Sweet Christmas Dreams…….

Good afternoon, my crafty lovelies….hope your doing ok today!

Well last week my Magnolia Stamp Club Kit landed on my doorstep and well I thought it was about time I got it inked :o)……..I ADORE this kit with all my heart….its truly gorgeous!  I have forced myself to get on with some Christmassy projects as other than my Magnolia Ink work I have yet to made anything………shock horror, I know, but I am a last minute kinda gal and always leave everything to the final hour LOL…….but I thought that I would make a change this year…….she says LOL!

Anyway, this image is called Sweet Christmas Tilda and can be Pre-Ordered from HERE…….along with all the rest of the Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection.

I had a go a colouring on Kraft card, and it was quite fun….however I think I need to invest in some better card as I am not entirely sure that what I used is Kraft Card LOL……..I reckon its just beige card and it took a bit of blending to get it how I like it LOL………but heyho, its not bad LOL…..

{Sorry for how bright the ribbon came out, it is soooooooooo not that orange in real life LOL, it matches a whole lot better LOL}

The paper is by Magnolia, as are the flowers and the spirally thing too……..they came in one of my Magnolia Ink DT kits, and I had a few left over.  The ribbon and the mesh stuff was in the kit too……the only thing that was not from Magnolia was the gold butterfly, and that was from The Hobby House.

I have coloured the image with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor

The tag is removable, and I have shamefully decorated the inside LOL….I say shamefully, as the decoration consists of a single image LOL………well its better than nothing LOL……

Well that is all from me today, thank you so much for stopping by…..lovely to see you all!

Catch you all soon!

Hugs Tab xxx

This is stunning, Hi there, I just wanted to pop by and tell you about the Wild Rose Studio blog hop, you could win 7 of their stamps and three paper pads, all you have to do is make a christmas themed card, and you dont have to use a Wild Rose studio stamp or product. (Although we would love it if you did)And then comment, on all of the DT blogs. Come and join in the fun. Would love to see you there (http://blog.wildrosestudio.co.uk/)
