Thank You Fairy Much with Tilda.

Hi Guys',

Well, what a strange, humid day. It's lovely and warm but the rain keeps bucketing down. My kitchen floor is all sticky and damp. At least the rain stayed away for the Olympic torch when it visited our little town today. What a spectacle.
Today's card is number two of my thank you cards I have to make this week. It's a Thank you Fairy much ( notice the play on words?) with Tilda Fairy. I really do like these stamps, they can be used for just about any occasion.

I used a pale green and white colour scheme for this card. Tilda is coloured using promarkers and mounted onto white and green labels twenty-two mats. The backing paper is from clipartfairy and I made the flower with the spellbinder spiral blossom one, using the same backing paper. The floral flourishes are cut with the same green coredinations cardstock as the mat.

Some pretty white lace, a bit of card candy and a Hunkidory sentiment and the card is done.

Tilda say's 'just for you' so charmingly in orange.

Hi buddies and bloggers,

Is it afternoon already? Amazing how time flies when you're having fun. Getting a few girly cards in before I have to do BOY ones again. ( 2 more, ahhh ) Today's card is similar to a rocker but isn't!!  It's one of my new spellbinder shapes that I bought last week and haven't got round to playing with yet. I got to use one of my multiple coloured Tilda's from a few weeks ago too.

The die is Grand Labels Eleven. I used the largest size to make a landsacape card with a piece of white A3 card. None of my card blanks were big enough, even the 8x8 ones. The rest of the dies I used in portrait. The backing paper is from the Craftartist spring in your step digikit. There are some beautiful papers in the digikits and the thing I love about Craftartist is that you can choose which colours you want, without having to troll through every single backing paper. I printed this mat on supersmooth 220gsm, because it's at the back and needs to support the rest of the layers. The smallest mat is textured white card, distressed with Tim Holtz shabby shutters and then matted onto core'dinations just peachy.

I made the flowers with the spellbinder daisy topper die using both the backing paper and just peachy card. The centres are material covered button brads from my stash. The floral flourishes were made in the same cards and two pearl hat pins were placed in between the layers, to hide the sharp points. Tilda was coloured with promarkers.

To add the finishing touch,  I used some peach ribbon with a faux bow and threaded an orange craftime charm onto some jump rings, which I put through the knot.

I haven't made a support bar with this card, I'm not sure if it needs one. It seems more stable than the rocker cards, but the jury is still out on that one. I was left a comment on one of my posts about my liberal glittering and it made me smile. Yes, I own up, I am a liberal glitterer, all over the card, me, my craft table, the floor, the whole house.........

I am entering this card into the following challenges :-
