Tilda Picking Peaches

Morning Peeps,

Can't believe it's Saturday already and my week off has passed me by, can't say I've achieved alot, so many plans as usual that never came into fruition.  Never mind, I've enjoyed not having to do the daily ritual of going to work......

Today's challenge at Make It Colourful is "light source from the top left".  I have used those yummy Peaches of Plenty and Garden Picket Fence from Make it Crafty HERE, these  images can be used to create so many  fabulous scenes combined with all your stamps, I chose an oldie, Tilda picking peaches, thought she could do with some air, lol.  The papers are from the "Spring Flight" Digital papers from Bearly Mine Designs, due to be launched on Tuesday 1st March.



I did my usual technique of inserting the digital fence and peaches of plenty into WORD and working out the positioning of Tilda and then stamping Tilda out onto my card, masked her off before putting the card through the printer.  Thought the positioning worked out a treat.  Zoe has a fab tutorial on her site HERE for Photoshop Elements users and HERE for WORD users.

Here's a close up although disappointed with how light my sky looks in this picture, it's better in reality, honest.  The flowers are a combination from wild orchid crafts and the 99p shop, lol, yes the 99p shop.

Old Time Tilda

Morning Peeps,

I had a lovely day off on Monday with my Husband, although this now seems an age away and in need of another.  I feel so naughtly having a day off with no particular reason but I haven't had a lot of time off work this year and he is currently doing a night shift working 6-6 so we currently like ships that pass in the night!  I have just got in from netball and am keen to get back to my book.  My kids have got me into the Twilight Books..... I'm currently 80 pages from the end of Book 2, New Moon, so a quick post and I'm off to bed.

Today's card is my very first attempt at colouring the whole image in sepia and I have to say for those of you who know me, I usually shy away from anything monochromatic, but I'm really beginning to like it.


I have coloured Tilda using copic markers, E44, E43, E42, E40 and E000.  The edges of the circle are distressed with walnut stain and of course I couldn't be without my stickles!



Materials Used:-
Image stamped on Cryogen white and coloured using Copics
Papers are from Bearly Mine CD as is the sentiment
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
Doily, ribbon and lace from stash
