Weaved ribbon card

Hello everyone. I have been sooooooo busy recently that i have had time to do any magnolia images:( However during the half term off school i had a little time to put together a valentine card. I actually made this before valentines day at the start of the holiday, however i have had no chance to post this. lol! Anyway, here it is...

I got the idea of the weaving ribbons in my mums stamping up magazine. And as soon as i saw it i wanted to do it...

Tilda sending love letter ♥

 Hello, im back with a cute little valentine heart box i made the other day. 

I decided to use the magnolia tilda stamp- tilda sending love letter. I coloured her using the limited edition distress reinkers- Gathered wood and festive berries.

In addition to this i used the words 'You've stolen my heart! Be my valentine will you?' also by magnolia.

On the back of the little heart box i used some thick lace to attach the lid to the base of the box.

 

I decorated the sides of the box with a pattern of diffirent sized pearls.

 

Thank-you for stopping by ♥

Have a great week!

Distress inks vs spectrum noir

Hello, happy new year everyone!!! I havent been on blogger since before xmas as the week before christmas i was ill then just after christmas i didnt feel to well either, so i spent a lot of time in bed, lol. Luckily i am well for the new year now though. For christmas i got a bridge camera so i have been taking quite a few pictures recently and from now on i will be using this for the pictures i take for my blog:)

Also, over christmas my mum decided to buy some spectrum noir pens, so i coloured a magnolia tilda image with them to compare with my all time favorite, distress inks. 

I hadnt yet finished the image with the spectrum noir pens before i decided i prefered the distress inks. However, from what i have coloured i can say i was very pleased with the colour and shading of the face (apart from the fact the cheeks were a little to bright for me). Yet, the thing i felt the spectrum noir pens lacked was a soft brush tip meaning i found it fairly hard to put in the pleats and acheive sharp lines on clothes. Controversially the distress markers have this lovable brush tip and the choice of 000, 00 and 0 thin brushs to shrapen up the pleats and blend them in a little making them look more realistic, depend on how well you are at water colouring. Also, this is another thing i found with the distress inks that they blend so easy and can be mixted with multiple colours creating a fresh new unique colour, making the possibilities endless. The spectrum noir pens were not so easy to blend for me and the colours were more or less fixed giving a narrower selection of colours. However, you could layer the colours with the spectrum noir pens to make the colours look more mixed as i did with the top. Overall i feel distress inks are for me as i do love that distressed, old look about my work, though pens like the spectrum noir ones give a rather bright and bold look which others may prefer. Furthermore, it depends on what you can more easily colour with as some people may produced stunning images with pens like the, spectrum noir, but produce not so pleasing images with distress inks. This shows that basically you just need to experement a bit and see what best suits you. But for me i think i have now come to a conclusion of the fact distress inks are the best!! Id like to see what you prefer to colour with....

Tilda with cat

Hello, im back with another christmas card. This one is using the magnolia tilda- tilda with cat. I have coloured her using distress pens and inks. I did picture this card several times and edited several photos, however, i managed to accidentally delete all of them except this one, lol.. silly me! Anyway, i decided to go for a diffirent colour as i rarely use green in my cards, but after colouring the image i quite like the colour! lol!

Have a great week

Little tilda

Hello. I havent been on here for a while as the last couple of things i have actually made i had to steer clear of my blog with, as they are gifts and the people i made them for are regular visiters of my blog. However last week i made a card for my mothers 40th birthday, which obviously i couldnt blog about straight away as my mum would see it on my blog. Anyway, now it has passed her birthday, i am sharing it with you...

I have used the beautiful Magnolia tilda- 'Little tilda'.

I coloured tilda using distress markers and re-inkers. I used the limited edition re-inker 'gathered twigs' for the hair for a change and i love it.

I tryed editing my photos on my phone for a change and i just didnt realize how easy and quicker it is. 

Thank-you for stopping by♥
