Pink and Blue Tilda

Good Morning

I am so excited today, my dear hubby will be flying in from Cape Town for the weekend - he has been there since the beginning of the year, we will be joining him there at the end of March when we move down there permanently.  So the excitement level in our house this morning is very, very high.  The kids are so excited that their daddy is coming home, although they are disappointed that he will only be there for 2 sleeps before he has to go back.

But anyhow, enough of that.  I thought I better do a post today as I might not have time over the weekend.  So here she is, my little Pink and Blue Tilda.  The border is a Nellie Snellen die, it is the very first time that I did a complete border and I must say, it took me some time,  I had to figure out just how I was going to put it together.  But I absolutely love the end result.  It ended up a bit to big to actually give me space to do anything more on the card.

My Tilda is coloured with copics once again and I just had to try the blackish hair again. 

The flower brads on the side goes so well with my paper.

I would like to thank all of the ladies who visits my blog and leaves me the lovely comments.  I love to get feedback.  Please enjoy your weekend and "see" you all next week.

Hugs,
Marika

Centre Step Card

Good Morning

What a beautiful day and with the month of February here, I am a very happy girl, no it does not have anything to do with the fact that it is almost Valentines day.  My hubby and me do not really celebrate Valentines day, but we do have a very special day that we celebrate.  We celebrate our wedding anniversary on the 15th of February - and this year it will be 9 years.

But I do love to make cards for Valentines day and here is my newest card.  This is a centre step card, a new favourite of mine, I must say I love the dimension that it has.

I used some pearls to make swirls and both the sides.

My Tilda was coloured with copics and it is the first time that I coloured her hair in this dark a shade. I love the colour combination of pink and green, it goes so well with the flowers that I had in my stash.

I will enter this card into the following challenges:

1.  Vintage and Shabby Chic challenge over at Magnolia-licious

2.  Hearts and Love challenge over at Simply Magnolia

3.  Love is in the air challenge over at The Paper Shelter

Thank you to everybody for coming over here to read my post, I really do love to hear from you, so please leave me a comment and become a follower.

Have a great day.

Hugs,

Totally Gorjuss

Good Morning

I would like to share my new card with you, I will enter it into the Totally Gorjuss challenge for this week.  The challenge is to make a K.I.S.S card! That's a Keep It Simple Silly card.  It was great fun as this card did not take a whole lot of time to make, but I must say that I do miss all the extra embellishments and so on.

I used my oval scollop's spellbinder die to cut the base card.  The red scollop's cutout was from a RAK in 2011.  I though that the stamp was a Molly Bloom, but after consulting the Internet, it does not seem to be a Molly Bloom.  So if you do know what stamp this is, please leave me a comment.

A close up of the image.  I used my copics to colour this beautiful stamp.

Thank you for staying and reading my post, please leave a comment, I do really appreciate your comments and if you would like, I will really like it if you become a follower.

Have a great day.

Hugs,
