Thursday's Card - Sweet Wonderful You!

Good morning, me lovelies!

Hope your all doing well…..rather cold today again…I feel frost bite setting in.  Last night me and Leigh, went to bed with not one duvet but two so all in all we had 25tog keeping us warm :oD…….funny though cos I woke up this morning and I felt like I was in the Caribbean LOL….phew, was it warm!  Little Teddy was curled up in the tightest ball, making sure all this little paws with toasty, hee hee.

Anyway, as promised last night here I am with a card to share :o)……I have been digging in my beloved Maggie draws again and thought that Tilda with Hanging Rabbit  might like I trip out.  She is one of my all time faves and is from the 2011 Butterfly Dreams Collection.

I have teams her up with some of the delish papers from Raspberry Road Designs….these are called Always and Forever and are a brand new release this week :o) ….lots of pretty pink papers :o)
{psssst, this weekend there is a 50% off all Raspberry Road Papers Valentines Sale going on, don’t miss out}

I have stamped some postage marks on the papers, they are from a set that I picked up at Hobbycraft the other week, called Portabella Road and have been brought out for the Jubilee this year.  The little postcard poking out from behind the image is from the same set too.

The Cream Pleated Ribbon, White Pretty Blossoms, White Mini Rosebuds, Lilac Semi Open Rose Buds, White Vintage Cluny Lace, Lilac Crown Pin, Butterfly Charm and the White Crazy Mesh {top corner of the postcard} is all from the fabulous Ribbon Girls……truly HEART all their embellies :o)

The rest of the flowers are from Wild Orchid and Stash.  The metal flowers {spacers} are from the Hobby House, as is the heart doily.

The butterfly is a Martha Stewart Punch and the sentiment is by Magnolia.

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

I get asked a lot about my pencils, and there are some fab tutorials out there on the web and You Tube on how to use them.  I have never done a tutorial, purely because tutorials are just not my thing, some people love them and can pop them out real fast, but not me, they take me an AGE.  I did one once for Magnolia Ink and boy oh boy it put me off for life.  Hope you all understand……honestly I am not being mean, it just purely not my thing!

The inside has been decorated with more of the Portabella Road Stamps, they are really a rather cute set of stamps.  The little postage stamps have sentiments on the them, I think they are made my Docrafts?!?

Before I go I want to share with a new sneak peek of the the up and coming Magnolia Prince and Princess Collection…….OMG, HOW CUTE!  I am almost peeing glitter in the excitement for these little beauties :oDDD

Don’t forget to scroll down for last nights posts about Janet’s GD Call for the Stamp Basket….gotta be in it to win it my lovelies!

Have a great day all and keep warm!

Much love
