A Little (Big) Cake with Anna ~ Tiddly Inks

I do love Tiddly Inks Images

Christy is an amazing artist  and the DT makes are fabulous

When I saw there challenge this month I decided to play along

It's a Tiddly Tac Toe haha love it

The idea is to get 3 in a row 

So I got creating and I ended up with a Bingo and used them all

Firstly off I used Anna Belle Birthday Wishes

The Sentiment is from Celebrate Joyfully Emma

I coloured up using Distress Ink refils and Derwent Inktense

Now onto the Tiddly Tac Toe board (I couldn't resist saying it again)

Dies ,I have used two dies the lovely ribbon threader and also a shaped die for the sentimemt

The Ribbon used is Jam pot Ribbon - Blackcurrant from Crafty Ribbons

Patterned paper was used on the background ~ I used a Distress tool on this and slightly ruffed up the edges

I used a flowery Embossing folder and added some Lace to the edge

I finally added some flowers and some fun buttons

Thank you for looking

Have a lovely day

Love to Create

Happy Sunday

I am happy to be here today to share with you a project I made for the Love to Create Mixed Media team.

I have had a little dabble in mixed media and I must admit to loving it so big gal's knickers on I decided to try adding more textures etc
Pop across and join in the fun ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes and you could will a fabby prize
Find us Here

I started out with a thick chipboard tag and used Gesso them some metallic ice blue paint.

I used a little corragated card and painted that metallic Bronze , wasn't sure if was was the right colour for sand but it sort of worked, splashed about a little white paint

I used textured paste and used the stencil

Accents Stencil

I then used Distress Oxide inks and coloured over my tag 

The stamp sets I used are

Tropical Underworld

&

Wish you were here

I also used some cheesecloth on the tag I left it white but the tie I coloured with Distress ink.

I used and painted bits and bobs of little shells, string etc 

Sprinkled on some sequins 

I used a button on the tie 

Mixed Vintage Seafaring

I really enjoyed making this and I am hoping my mixed media is off to another level 

Thank you for looking

Stanley the Snowman

Just the best of friends with there matching scarfs

I have used the lovely Ribbon

Crochet Edge

I have enough to edge a notebook (that was going to be this months project but alas time ran away)

I have also used the

Pamela  was a kit which  I hand sewed and added some extra touches at the end.

Stanley started out life as a dolly peg 

I added some gesso and painted him white

I die cut all the felt pieces and used felt glue to adhere

Gave him googly eyes and then attached ribbon and buttons

For his mouth I used a micron pen

I sooooo could not resist another play with Octavia Moonfly

Totally love this collection , the papers are absolutly amazing (see below)

As with most of the Polkadoodles collections you can buy in many different ways from a single digi to a paper pack to the whole bundle and anything inbetween

For my card today I have used

The Big Kahuna Collection

Just look at those images!!

I have used Octavia Moonfly Unicorn today

She really is so magical and everyone loves a Unicorn right

Everything used is from the collection

(except for a little twine for the buttons and Nuvo Drops)

The Nuvo Drops are Wedgewood Blue (even tho the bottle looks slightly green in the photos)

Just love the cute buttons

and the words that you can cut out

Spot the textured look paper , that really is cool!!

I adore bring the paper flowers to life and its real nice to be able to cut them at whatever size I need them to be
I simply cut two flowers the same size using a dab of pin flair glue stuck them together leaving a little height and then cutting a smaller one for the top 

How cute is the little charm there are a few of these I just added in Octavia but you can add what you wish

Thank you for stopping by

Shadow box Hanger

Happy Monday to you all

Now I really needed a break from Christmas makes

I love Crafting with my Granddaughter, she totally appreciates hand made items and the time that goes into making items, so I decided on a little present for her for her bedroom for no other reason than just because....

Now as its for Felicity it totally had to be pink!

So I made a shadow box for her to hang

I cut the  box on my portrait- Really adore making these

I was so very pleased how it turned out

The images I used are from Tiddly Inks

Bloom Beautiful Emma

&

Celebrate Joyfully Emma

(The flowers in the center were also with the image)

Felicity was generated on my computer

I coloured the images with Graph'It Markers and Polychromo Pencils

I then decorated with paper flowers, gems and some random buttons

The ribbon I have used is from Crafty Ribbons and probably one of my much used

Organza Swiss Dot Ribbon ~ It comes in an array of beautiful colours - I have just restocked and treated myself to the Want It All such great value!!

I have used 

Organza Swiss Dot Ribbon ~ Garden Rose/White

EEEkkkk exciting news ~ Crafty Ribbons

So Super Excited to say.......

I am now part of the Crafty Ribbons DT

I have always loved Ali's lovely Ribbons and a few years back made various ribbon samples for shows etc ,so it was an honour to become part of the team.
The only problem I can see is what ribbons to choose for my upcoming projects, Oh My drool, drool there are so many to choose from, I have so many ideas I had to start my own notebook.

I have my Granddaughter staying (again) for a few weeks , we just love crafting together, so I let her choose what we should make. We made this on Tuesday after a visit on Monday to the safari park where she had spotted Reindeers so this was quite an apt make.
Using a couple of files from SIL store I cut out the bag and the gift card holder and Felicity glued them together. We added some googly eyes . Felicity made two little red bows and stuck them on , and then adhered the little golden bells.
I attached the ribbon bag handle.

 Once the holly was stuck on I gave it a shine of glossy accents.

And this is the lushness we used from Crafty Ribbons
Bows - 7mm Country check
Bag strap and Gift card holder strip - Christmas Owl Ribbon
Button - Basics 2 Go Buttons
