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)

Happy Thursday!

Hey lovelies, hope your doing well!

Thought that I would pop on and share another Magnolia card with you…….loving this new Crazy Love Collection…..so many stamps that can be used for so many occasions……fab when its like that :o)….this one I have used is called Tilda Sending Love Letters.

I have gone for the narrower card again today…..I have a funny feeling that this shape is my new fave, as just knocking those 2cm off the width makes it some much easier for me to fill with all my embellies……and you know me Tab loves her embellies :oD LOL……

………so then, do you like the papers that I have used {that's if you can see them under the sea of embellies LOL} I found them when I was on one of my Pinterest sprees, and they are from Here……and do you know what the best bit is…..they were freebies :oD….there are a few others in different colour ways too, so go check out the rest….but I have to say they printed out beautifully and found them very true to colour too {on my printer that is, remember different printers can vary}

The colours I have used tie in with the challenge over at the Ribbon Girl blog…..its Blue and Pink….not long left to join in so hop on over and take a peak :o)….whilst you are there, have a look at the Giveaway that is on offer too……..little felt mice pincushions made by Gail…..tooooooooo cute for words!

I stamped and coloured the image on Kraft card, ….I find when colouring on Kraft card you have to keep going, as to be honest when you start it doesn’t look great but as you add further colour all of a sudden it starts to pull together and look half decent LOL……I very nearly threw this away, but I carried on and it came out not too bad in the end.

Do you like the Pleated Satin Ribbon……I {HEART} it so much, and if you want any its from the Ribbon Girl, as is the lovely White Cotton Lace, Heart Charm, Crown Pin, Crazy White Mesh {love this stuff so much {its poking out of the flowers}, so need to get some more in other colours}, and the mini Rose Buds.

The rest of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Craft and the Doily is from The Hobby House.

The sentiment and  butterflies inside are by Magnolia, and the Carte Postal Stamps and all the border stamps are by Stempelglade.

I have coloured Tilda with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

The inside has been decorated very very simply using some of the Stempelglade stamps and my fave Magnolia Butterflies.

Well that’s all from me today, thanks for stopping by and I shall see you all soon! 

For anyone interested, this card will be listed in my Etsy Shop later today :o)

Have a great day, lovelies!
