Tilda & Co Challenge 28

I really had fun doing this challenge - perhaps this is my 'forte' distressing things.

Peach bazzill cs
Papers: unknown (gift from s-i-l) Text paper ripped and torn, inked (I used Ancient Age petal points) and wet and curled the edges
Sentiment: computer generated on parchment and distressed edged
Tilda: Paper pieced - first layer - HOTP (Cardmaker classic), and dress - top layer -'holey' mulberry again curtesy of s-i-l.
The gold ribbon I distressed and frayed the ends
The brads, flower and gem all from stash

This is one of my favourite Tilda images. I do like Tilda in petticoats, but can't get hold of her at the moment. If anyone knows of one up for adoption would they please let me know.

Papers: Basic Grey - Lilykate
Image coloured with watercolours
Brads and flowers from stash
Faux stitching: whispers

Here he is (Osbert) my first owl. I really enjoyed doing this. It hasn't scanned very well, but my camera won't upload at the moment. Oh! I do wish I was more technically inclined, I usually get where I want to go, but it can be at some cost timewiseGreen pearlized cs (7x5)
Papers: Downloaded, but forgive me, I can't remember where from
Stamp: Side show stamps, coloured with watercolours.
Sentiment: Aud design stamps
Ribbons: Anitas

Look What I got...... My owls, all the way from Canada in just 6 days - WOW - thats some speedy flying!!!
Check out the website - sideshowstamps.com - they have some cute and 'whacky' stamps at real good prices.
Guess what my next post will be.

Where has the last fortnight gone? Having been a crafter of one sort or another for many years I decided it was time to become more interactive with other crafters, hence this blog. Why I had to start at the busiest time at work (the holiday period) heaven only knows. That, plus the fact my house has decided to fall down around my ears (well that is a slight exaggeration) but my washing machine 'packed in', two fires 'died' on me, my drain blocked up and when I went to open a drawer, the front fell off and everything tumbled out. The drawer happened to be one where I keep my stamps, inks and other crafting gear, so you can imagine the mess. It probably fell apart from overuse. I have a whole one and a half days of work this weekend so hopefully I can post some more cards and do a little more work on my blog.
