This could be underwater love


Hi everyone

I am here today with a summery card while its winter here in Australia. A bit chilly in the Pilbara so perfect weather to stay in and colour me thinks.

The challenges I am entering with this card are the following-

Dutch Magnolia Lovers - Water , Beach
Totally Tilda Challenge Blog - All at sea
Simply Magnolia - Pin up
Time for a Magnolia Challenge - Summertime
Tilda's Town Neighbourhood blog - Fussy and fancy or clean and layers
Deep Ocean Challenge Blog - Inspired by a song

My song is 'This could be underwater love' by Smoke City

So for this card I used the gorgeous Swimming Tilda. She is one of the first maggies that I bought and havent actually used her, just love her so had to have her lol. The DP are from the Kaisercraft collection 'Tropicana' and has a lovely beachy summery feel to it.

Now Tilda is all out in the ocean on her own! Snorkeling but she has her fishy friends to keep her safe!

I used flowers from WOC, Kaisercraft and Prima. I added some shells to the cloth and also added in a little fishing boat and a starfish.  Behind the main image is some plae blue mesh.  The die of the glasses are from Whimsy and the sentiment on the main image is also from there. The sentiment at the bottom of the card is from La La Land Crafts.  I used a little bottle and filled it with multi coloured beads.  A bit of DI around the main image and some glitter glue adds some sparkle. To her fishy friends and mask I added some dimensional magic.

The pin is a little bright pink heart shaped  pin that was part of the gift I won on Besties Australia blog hop.

I added some rhinestones to finish off the image.

Hope you like my card !

So for this card I used DPs from the Kaisercraft range 'Magnolia Grove'.This is an old collection but defo one of my all time faves as it has a old 1920s style feel to it. I coloured the lovely Tilda with copics.

I used dies from Magnolia and flowers are a mix of WOC and Kaisercraft, all in different shades of pink.  I used a cream coloured doily and covered this with clear glitter glue to add some shimmer. I then draped some pearls over the flowers, as I think Tilda looks like the kinda lady who would wear pearls!

The lace and ribbon are from my own stash and the sentiment stamp is from La La Land Crafts. The charm I used is a lovely little fan, as all ladies back in the day used to carry fans, well maybe more Southern Belles but hey!

four flower ladies all in a row..but no wall flowers!

me again! Yes i am on a roll today! getting all my blogging done when the weather cant make its mind up!

So here I am, and I am here with the gorgeous flower ladies of SBS, these are just divine and soooo much fun!

So lets get this post going eh!

Right, the first one is the gorgeous Betty Rose





So for this card I used Kaisercrafts 'Art of life' its a gorgeous vintage collection and i thought it matched well. Now as my hubby is a Yorkshire-man I thought i would do a bit of the white rose which is the flower of Yorkshire. I used the Copics W's for this. For her hair i went with the T numbers that I am no longer fearing lol. Now for the red. The other rose is the Lancaster rose which is red (war of the roses) and there is rivalry between to the two areas so what with the sentiment talking about thorns, i used some red roses as its a 'thorny' issue! The flowers are from WOC and Kaisercraft, i also added in some holly leaves as these have shape thorny bits. The shape of the card is from a Go Kreate die.  The lace is from my stash and the ribbon is something i picked up on my travels. Added to this some cheesecloth for a bit of texture. I edged the body of the card, the image and the sentiment in DI  'festive berries'

Right card 2!- Corrine Calla-Lily


Again this image was coloured with copics. I wanted to keep it simple as the sentiment says 'beauty ca be found in the simplest forms' and that is the Calla- Lily so it called for a bit of CAS.  I used Bazzill bling card stock for the main body, the DPs are from Kaisercraft collection 'The Lake House'. The ribbon again is from my stash. And after that some clear rhinestones were added just to give it that bit of sparkle. I didnt go any further as think the Calla-Lily is a simple but gorgeous flower and I didnt want to take away from the gorgeous image that Betty had drawn for us.

Card 3-

Ok, so i like to be a bit different and hence the blue lipstick! just getting it out there lol. Again I decided to work on my CAS cards 9im not know for them lol, i need the practice!) and i just LOVE these papers from Kaisercraft. I love the clashing combo that it brings. Again this little lady was coloured with copics. I used a postcard charm as postcards are always part of our adventures. I then teamed this with some blue sparklets to match her dress and lipstick and there she is!

Card 4-



Ok the CAS didnt last long did it! This one is my oriental them as the lotus flower and the sentiment make me feel oriental! So the die is from La La Land Crafts and its a fave of mine. I used DPs from Kaisercrafts 'Paradiso' colletion as the flowers behind very much remind me of theme.  I used a burnt orange feather to add a bit of texture to the card. The flowers are a mix of Kaisercraft and WOC and the ghost leaves are from WOC also.

I coloured this lovely image with copics and again used clashing colours as I just love this colour combo.

Phew! thats all folks!

Hope you like my cards.
