Magnolia Singing Tilda

I really enjoyed making this card for my daughters birthday,she loves to sing and my girlfriend Vicki Fraser bought this Magnolia Tilda Singing stamp for me so I could make my darling daughter the perfect birthday card. I paper pieced Singing Tilda to get the dress just the right colour and shaped it to give it a slight curve using my flower tool, before gluing into position.  I chose a designer paper that my wonderful friend Frances from Stamp Owl gave me for Tilda’s dress to match the dress my daughter wears on stage that shimmers and sparkles. I used a purple gel pen and highlighted with Ice Stickles Glitter Glue to finish.I wanted to use some shading behind and used my Spellbinder Circle as a mask to get the white edge effect with my Sponging Block and Colorbox Chalk Ink. Then I used the Tim Holtz Alterations Carnivale to personalise the card and add her age using some new Glitter Cardstock. I wanted an unusual shape card  and placed Tilda looking down from the top of the card like my daughter does when she’s on stage.

Happy Birthday to me!

I received this beautiful birthday card from Vicki Fraser,I love the pearl flourish. Vicki and Roz took me out for coffee and we each ordered a slice of the most amazing cake I’ve ever eaten. Vicki arrived with a big bag with all sorts of crafting goodies including some pearl flourishes (it’s like she can read my mind), and my friend Roz gave me a Kaisercraft stamp set.Thanks girls for making it special!

Stamp Camp

Here is a kit I made up from a Stamp Camp in Brisbane my girlfriend went to and saved for me to make up. A very cute card design and simple enough to repeat with what I have already. It’s always great when someone else does the hard work designing and you get lost in the joy of the doing.

Lattice Window

I’m totally inspired by Valita’s Designs and Fresh Folds blog.

I shared this fabulous idea with my friends at Stamping with Friends Shoe Box Swap in February 2011.
