Little Dressmaker

It's Early May Bank Holiday today, nice windy weather and nothing new from the western front. Here is Tilda sewing a hanky probably. Or maybe those lace roses, of course!

Those lace flowers are made of strips of lace and pearls in the middle.

A bit of glitter on Tilda's dress from Rangers Stickles.

I like masking, although far away from good at it, heh. Magnolia has wide collection of beautiful backgrounds and objects, and they make excellent detail or that little extra to any crafting, not only for Tilda/Edwin.

Ingredients:

Magnolia Tilda stamp

Magnolia Stone Stairs stamp (Fall Collection)

Flexmarkers and hint of Prismacolors

Die cuttings Spellbinders Wonky Square

Die cut heart Joy Crafts

Papers from 1st Edition, Crafter's Companion, Stampin Up and stash

Rangers Stickles glitter

For a change very Clean and Simple card, no frills.

Flexmarkers works quite okay and over line colouring is almost on purpose. Well, that's my excuse, what's yours? Hihi.

Aww... she is lovely, isn't she. Sentiment came with Mo Manning's latest gorgeous digi stamp "Duckface" but come on, it is just sooooo good for this, too.

Around the World Part I

Through the years I've managed to get few Magnolia stamps, although they don't have nose, neither mouth, there is something about them... Backgrounds are fabulous, and suit almost everywhere, windows, doors, furniture for example.

Well, to cut a long story short, here is Tilda in Australia.

Hooray, I got masking right! This fence (barbed, :( not user friendly) is also stamp from Magnolia.

Flexmarkers seem to suit me with Tilda, because of their flexibility, hahah, now I finally got it! (I'm kidding.) Name, I mean. Anyhow, Flexmarkers act very differently than Promarkers, my opinion, not Letraset's.

I LOVE the result. Tilda is in Australia travelling around the world and after lots of raining in April, those fantastic flowers come up. Well, no idea when it is raining in Oz, but this is my back story, heheh.

Ok, that's it! I hope this gets me some encouragement to continue trying to make Magnolia Tilda and Edwin look alive(ish)

It would be lovely to have some feedback. What is good publicly and what is bad, of course in private :D :D Nah, it's just although I have pile of these stamps, I've always found it so very difficult to colour them. Trying to get colours blend. Getting emotions shown. Oh boy. 

Here are my previous colouring attempts:

Best of Friends

Awww... Lovely stamp from Art Impressions! A proper wooden block and excellent quality. But what was weird, I never got the second part of the stamp :(

When colouring the stamped image, I remembered there is a good background for this one, and it is from Digi Doodles Shop.

Together... Doing something together and reach the target or get to the goal post is something you cherish forever.

See all those orange handles? All done on purpose and it is for Fiskars :) 

Friendship is a wonderful thing.

I usually don't put sentiments, because "one picture is worth of thousand words" and this therefore is suitable for many occasions.
