Romantic Tilda Valentine #3

    The decorative gems and upper flower are from Prima Marketing. The lower right flower is from Magnolia

     I didn"t have to put much into the inside as the paper says it all. From Making Memories Je t'adore.

I used Distressed Inks, Victorian Velvet, Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany, and Black soot. My watercolor paper is giving me trouble so I need to back and get the one I had previously.

This Card is my favorite, my style and colors. BUT my son thought differently HE CHOOSE

Funny because I was thinking of her style and what she would like as well as him when I made this card. We are putting those message candies with it and another item he has for her. So Sweet and fun for both of us.

Your Tagged Tilda Valentine #2

     I used my Copics on Papertrey Ink paper again and my tone is a little brighter so I figured cute, whimsy, playful like his girl. I made two tags to pull out on this card. One is from the top and the other pulls out on the left side. I wrote sayings from those little candies you get this time of year. Tradition for us to gobble them up.

               Here are the two tags I made with Spellbinders heart nesties and a doilie. I used a heart rivet to keep the hole big enough for the ribbons to go into. The paper is from Fancy Pants Designs. I used a stampin up punch to make other hearts and some embellishments from our local craft store. We will see if this is the style he wants,

 My last card I will be coloring with Distressed Inks and my son said do it "over the top."

Tilda With Hearts #1 Valentine

          My son is challenging me to make a valentine for his girl.  He wants a few to pick from. This is number 1 and I have 2 more in my head to go.  I will tell you which one he chooses after they are all up.

  I colored Tilda with Copics but I used a cream cardstock from Papertrey Ink and it changed the way the Copics blended, I think it improved me. Maybe. I used Bo Bunny papers and Spellbinders hearts.

     Unfortunately I like the inside of the card better than the outside, but it is up to Ben to choose.
        See you again soon.

Same Paper, two Cards

                I used Distress Ink on Tilda with hearts.  It took me 6 times to get her right. I bought different
       watercolor paper and it is hard to work with, kind of like my Copics.

 The Paper I used on both of the cards is from Papertrey Ink. I love the pattern varieties in this pack. I purchased it last year so I do not know which one it is. Sorry about that. I also used their coordinating cardstock.  Papertrey makes a stamp set to go with the flowers in this paper too.

     This pretty little girl is from Lili of the Valley and I colored her with Copics, it was challenging for me.

    On the inside of this card it felt from Papertrey Ink which coordinates with all their things. I used nesties for the white inside flower and blue felt flower I used Papertrey die for the heart circle and a sizzix die for the leaf. All the lace on the cards are from Joann fabric and the flowers I put together from odds and ends flowers in a pretty box that I store them in.  Overall, It took me all day to do these two cards as my two year old was not going to nap today and then everyone seemed to need extra help with their school work. I am ending my day with my computer, hubby and a glass of red wine.   Thanks for stopping by my blog tonight.

In Honour of the Purity Ball

   My daughter and her father are going to a Purity Ball tonight. It is put on by our Catholic Diocese to help bond daughters and fathers together so the girls save themselves for marraige.  I am very excited for my daughter as she has pledged to us as well as her boyfriend that they will stay pure.  For the last year and a few months they have done that. As parents in this world, we are proud. Besides the card I made for her, I am including a picture of her and my husband.

                           Yeah, I know he looks goofy, he doesn't like picture taking.

Tilda With Lotsa Hearts Valentine

I colored Tilda with Copics and I almost put her in the trash as I was not happy with the shading around her. I put her on my shelf for a few days and then this Bo Bunny paper came to mind and She Was Saved!
I put a tag inside of the card like a mini valentine for a extra touch. The card is for one of my Teenager's. I am making them cards for their boyfriend, girlfriend and they can choose which one to give. My son said make one over the top!? We will see if I can.
Have a wonderful snowy day ladies.

Shadow Box Wedding Card

 The above picture is the true color of the paper. The sun decided to come out while I was photographing and made it more of a challenge to get the right pictures. The DP is Lost and Found by My Minds Eye.

 I used a template from Splitcoast for the shadow box and cut out the middle front of the card to look through the gate to watch the wedding couple, my stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

 I surrounded the left side of the couple with flowers on the inside of the card.  On top are 3 punched hearts and then I used my Cricut to make best wishes from the cartidge Paper Lace. The gate is from cartridge Ornamental Iron.  The flowers are all from prima.

 Here is a inside look from the top and you can see the sun casting shadows from the gate, neat.

This card folds flat but the extra hearts on top made the dimensions too big for a conventional envelope so I will be making my own for this card. Thank you for visiting and enjoy your day.
