Pile It On - Flowers and Flourishes

Happy Sunday!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and if you went shopping on Black Friday that you got what you wanted :)
This weeks challenge at Pile It On is to include both Flowers and Flourishes in your project.

The other challenges that fit this are:
ResQ Challenge wanted you to use felt
Creative Inspirations was where I chose the sketch from.
A Spoon Full of Sugar had a color combo of Brown with either Blue or Pink
My Time To Craft had a theme of "Very Vintage"
Created By Hand had a theme of "I'm Blue"
Etsy Inspired had a wonderful inspiration store and I chose this gorgeous scarf from the Barefoot Weaver store
Crafty Creations had a Christmas theme
Lil Red Wagon wanted Buttons
Cuttlebug Challenge want to see Glitter
Stamping Vacation had a "Pick 3" theme and I chose Buttons (around the mat), Glitter (on the dp) and Pearls (tiny ones on the ribbon)
Tuesday Taggers had a theme of Festival of Light
Winter Wonderland wanted to see a Candle and Tilda is holding one.
Fabs Big Christmas wanted "Ladylike Christmas" as the theme

I chose another of the new Jolly Holly Holiday Collection MAgnolia stamps for this card. This little beauty is called Christmas Morning Tilda and I colored her with Copic's. Then I cut her out and popped her up on the circle.
I used dp from The Fruitcake collection by Basic Grey and the glitteres stripe is from the Laundry Line by My Minds Eye. I aged the chipboard flourishes with 3 different chalk inks until I got it just how I wanted it. The big flower is Prima and the felt flower from Hobby Lobby.
I really like the aged/vintage feel to this card, I struggle with this type of card and won't admit quite how long it took for me to finish it! LOL

The inside is more dp and I added another flower cluster to the message mat.

I love the "tip toeing" Tilda is doing in this image, she wants to be the 1st down to the Christmas Tree this year :)

Have a great rest of your Sunday and if you have some crafting time be sure to join us over at Pile It On.

New Card for Delightful Sketches!

Happy Thursday!
It's time for a new sketch at Delightful Sketches and it's my first time designing for a challenge for Wendy!



This sure was a great sketch, you'll see I rotated it so my horizontal image would fit, I love the way these sketches are so easy to do that with!
I worked with this wonderful barn and it's a great image for all sorts of occasions.
It also fits with The Pink Elephant challenge of Fall and Created By Hand had a Harvest theme too and Scrappy Frogs had a theme of Trees
Penny's Challenges wanted Fall and Trees too!
Three Clovers had a Nature theme and I think this worked too!



I colored the image with Copic's and added a bow made with a great Harvest ribbon from Michaels.



The inside is more dp and a message mat topped with more of the Harvest ribbon.





It's a great prize for the winner this time too, a $20 gift certificate from The Ribbon Retreat!
I'd love to see what you can do with this sketch so hop on over to Delightful Sketches and share your creation with us!
