Happily Ever After - Again

Happy Friday everyone! It's Linda here.  If you're in the UK I hope you're looking forward to a lovely long 3 day weekend, so glad I no longer have to work bank holidays like a few years back.

Today I'm showing a wedding card that I made at the request of my daughter's friend, using Tiddly Inks' Happily Ever After ...and yes I know I've used this a few times now, but I actually don't have many 'wedding' or couple stamps and this stamp is on of my favourite images ever.

I used some lovely Pion Papers from the Flower Frame collection. I also paper pieced the brides Dress. All papers were edged with Distress Ink and then hand stitched. I coloured the stamp with distress inks (apart from a couple of Copics on the paper pieced dress), all the colours used and several more pics and all details can be found on my blog here.

 I finished her dress with a glue pen and some glamour dust to simulate sequins and beads.

I mounted the couple on a couple of Pierced Oval frames and slipped a couple of Heart Doily die cuts behind it. Can you spot the little love bird charm nestling beneath the flowers at the top right? I used one of the Fairy Tale Dreams sentiments and the matching die.

I decorated the inside with more of the same papers, the piece with the flower frame makes a lovely place to write a message.

Glass Slipper

Morning!! Linda here with my regular inspiration post.  It's shaping up to be a long, busy and stressful week, but there was nothing stressful about making this card with the beautiful new Pion collection 'My Precious Daughter'.....or at least there wasn't until I'd finished colouring my image, added some liquid pearls to her necklace, and then promptly smudged it across he face, and hair..and then made matters worse trying to fix it.

In the end I really couldn't face colouring her all in again, so I re-stamped and coloured the damaged parts, and paper pieced them on to the original, if you look closely you can see where, but it doesn't look too bad.

I have to say I'm totally in love with these papers, gorgeous colours and fabulous designs, I really enjoyed using them. I distressed and inked the edges with DI in Walnut Stain and sewed all the layers with pink top stitch thread.

The image is called Glass Slipper and she's coloured in Copics, you can find the colours along with some more photos an my blog.

I used a lovely Crown border die from MFT as I thought it went well with the theme and the motifs on the paper.  The sparkly dots and by Prima and are called 'Princess'.

The inside is decorated with some more paper from the collection. The sentiment and matching die are from Whimsy.

Charmings

Happy Tuesday folks!  It's Linda back to day with my inspiration post.

I've been having a bit of a play with Inktense watercolour pencils and coloured up this Saturated Canary stamp by Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  This stamp was actually a present from my DT chum Jenny for my birthday, but Tracy stocks her in the store, she's called Charmings.  I've added links to items used at the end of my post, but because Inlinkz want's to charge me a fortune to carry on using them, they're just standard links now, no pretty pictures sorry.

I don't think she came out half bad! I paired her up with these gorgeous Whimsy papers I've had in my drawer for some time, just waiting for the right card to use them on. 

You can find the colours I used on my blog here, along with a few extra photos.

I used a lovely Whimsy sentiment and die that I thought went perfectly on this card and I finished it off with a little Prima bling. 

 I've stitched all my papers with top stitch thread.  I inked the edges with Distress Ink in dusty concord.

Finally I decorated the inside of the card with some more papers from the pack to complement the front.

Items used:

Saturated Canary - Charmings

Hummingbird & Butterfly Garden

Fairy Tale Dreams

Crown Die

*NEW* Prima Say It In Crystals - Princess

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad - Dusty Concord

Memento Ink Pad - Tuxedo Black

Collall All Purpose Glue - 50mls

Well that's all from me today, I'll  see you again next week and in the meantime, why not try something new?

Have fun! : ) x x
