They are all covered with some Gesso..

And there's even a cute little pin..

Take a look at this wonderful lace..

The bark heart with some cheesecloth and that little flower on top is a gorgeous detail too, right?

I've used some Frantage and gesso on the DP's too..

Pisces Tilda

Hello there!

I looooooove my new stamps and as soon as I saw this cutie I thought she looked like a sweet little mermaid.. Doesn't she?
It was love at first sight..

This is Pisces Tilda from the new Zodiac Collection 2014..
The papers are from Maja Design - Vintage Frost Basics..
They are so versatile you can use them for anything really..
I've used one of my GoKreate dies for the card's shape..

The paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and inked with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

They are machine sewn too..

I've added once again a gorgeous pin and lots of pearls..
There's some gesso all over the place..
I've applied some Stickles on her tail, a bit of Crackle paint on the flower and Liquid Pearls all around the image..

I'm sure you all know how much I love flowers.. I use them on every single project..

These are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses..

And you can see some Kort & Godt Hortensias too..

I've also added some Flower Sprays and a bit of cheesecloth under the arrangements..

Take a look at the gorgeous lace, the soft pink ribbon and the Vintage Seam Binding..

The pearl is one of the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Baubles.. A fantastic detail, right?

Feel free to ask if there's anything you'd like to know..
Thanks for stopping by..

Doohickey's Only

Yep! That's right..

No Tilda or Edwin today..

Just dies.. And they are ALL Magnolia Doohickey dies..

I had a wooden birdhouse waiting for me in one of the drawers and today I just felt the need to alter it.. LOL!

Here it is..

Huh.. Where do I start..

First I painted the birdhouse in white..

Then I covered it with some printed 'old book' paper and added a little bit of gesso around..

I've used Papermania textured paper and some kraft paper for all the die cuts..

Then it was time to decorate the roof..

It's completely covered with the Tilda Lace die..

When everything was on it's place I added the ice.. With a glue gun..

There's the Peacock resting on the roof and the Cat (Paris Night dies) on the other side watching it..

Lots of dies on the back too..

The Swirl and the Mistletoe..

And the small Dragonfly.. There's one on the front too..

There are also two small butterflies on this project (one on the front and one on the left side) and those are a part of the Magnolia Tree set..

It's the first time I use those but now that I have I'm gonna use them a lot.. They are just sooooo cute..

Ooohh.. Let's not forget the beautiful Angel Wing die.. 

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses..

The gorgeous lace I've put around is from Suhafuha.. Check it out! Just gorgeous..

Here' are some more details..

The doilies are from my stash and the ornate leaves and frame are made out of FIMO Air..

I've used Martha Stewart molds for those..

The pearls on the butterflies and dragonflies are also from my stash..

Well..

Not bad for the first time, right?

I'd love to hear what you think..

I'll be back soon with a new Magnolia creation..

Hugs, Tina

Tilda With Many Hearts

Love is in the Air..
And I have another creation full of hearts to show you..

It's one of the first Magnolia stamps I bought and it was the very first Tilda I ever coloured..

It's been almost three years since then and I've gone a long way, don't you think? ;)

I've used one of my GoKreate dies for this card's shape..

I've applied some gesso all over them and on other parts of the card..

I've used Frantage all around the image too..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The sentiment is also from Magnolia.. From the Raising The Ceiling And Right Through My Heart Collection 2010.. It's glued on a small wooden spool.. So cute..

The Love You vintage trinket from Prima is one of the most wonderful details if you ask me..

And there's something else I wanna talk you about..

For You Tilda

Good evening everyone!

Not so long ago I made a little gift bag.. Remember??

Well..

I've decided to make another one..

 

The stamp is from the latest Magnolia Lost and Found Collection 2014 and is called For You Tilda..
The papers are from Maja Design.. Vintage Spring Basics.. 

The Heart Tag is a Magnolia Doohickey and so is the Romantic Lace border die..

There's a little bit of Frantage on the tag and I've made the Vintage Seam Binding myself..

The paper edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and then inked.. They are also machine sewn..

The butterflies are made with a Martha Stewart mold and some Fimo Air..

They are painted with Gesso..

I've applied some gesso and Crackle Paint here and there on the bag..

There are lots of pearls all over the place..

And there's also a super cute little doily under there..

Here are my Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses flowers..

I've added a little bit of cheesecloth under them and..

..they all have some Gesso on..

Have you seen this gorgeous lace and the Shabby Rose Organza Trim..

Fantastic, right?

I've used one of the Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight dies to cut out the image..

I stamped my Tilda with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured her with Distress Inks.. I've used both the ink pads and reinkers..

When I was done colouring I added some Chunky White Frantage around the image..

Then I added some Liquid Pearls between the flowers, I've drawn some white dots in the flower centres, then I covered all the flowers with some Star Dust Stickles.. I've also used some Frosted Lace stickles on her dress..

Ribbon Dance Tilda

Hi guys!

How are you?

I have a little something to show you today..

Noooo... It's not a card..

It's one of those little gift boxes I love so much..

This is Ribbon Dance Tilda, one of the stamps from the beautiful Magnolia Little Circus Moscow Collection 2013..

I usually make these boxes out of Papermania Textured paper and some Joy!Crafts kraft paper..

Some parts of the box are decorated with Chunky White Frantage and some with gesso..

I've used some white Vintage Seam Binding all around the box.. You can't see it on this pic but you'll get an idea when you get to the end of the post..

I just can't stop using those gorgeous heart shaped doilies..

And this butterfly is one of my favourite metal charms..

It has some half pearls and gesso on..

There's some lace under there too.. 

I've used a Martha Stewart punch to decorate the lid and the stripe of paper in this pic..

The image was cut out with a Spellbinders Circle and I've used a matching Scalloped Circle underneath..

All the paper edges are distressed and sewn..

And there are lots of cheesecloth around..

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I Am Roses and Kort & Godt..

All of them are covered with a small ammount of gesso..

The pin is from a Hobby House pin wheel..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
