Tiddly Inks challenge #208

Hi all!

It's time for another fun challenge over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and it's time  to kick back, put on the thick festive socks and get your christmas on!!! the Tiddly Inkers want you to...

Be Merry!!

 So think christmas holiday fun!

 (**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 

but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image **)

Here's the card I made for this challenge : 

I used Cocoa wishes Wryn sitting in front of a roaring fire with her little Robin friend and a leafy Christmas tree!

The fireplace and tree stamps are by Wild Rose Studio and they were free with Creative Stamping magazine recently. Awesome stamps too!

I coloured everything with Spectrum Noir and Tonic Nuvo markers.

I hope you find time to join in with the challenge (just follow this link!).

The DT always produce amazing cards for your inspiration too!

Have a great day.

FAB-ulous Friday!

Good morning all!

I hope you're all having the most fabulous morning up to now because, if you're not, then how about popping over to the Tiddly Inks blog and having a crafty look at all the fabulous Fab Friday DT makes?
This is definitely going to cheer you all up and hopefully inspire you to get out your colouring pens and have some "colouring-therapy" time.
I always look forward to our Fab Fridays, and of course to the challenges too. They inspire me to think a little more creatively and this week has been no exception.
Christy (Tiddly Inks owner/artist/designer etc!) wondered about combining digi images to make a whole picture. So I did!
This little card is made with a background of these cute cactus PNG files and overlaying these adorable hedgehogs over the top before printing the scene off.

How cute is this?

I have overlaid images before, but not with Tiddly Inks digis and I'm so glad I did!

I love this little card and I even left it on the Other Half's pillow for him to take note (and admire of course!) .

Apart from the fab digis, I've only used cardstock, patterned paper, pierced edge rectangle dies, alcohol markers and a few gems.

So, pop on over and have a peep!

Enjoy your day

Happy Birthday Ethan!

Hi all!
Recently, my daughter asked if I would make a card for her Godson, Ethan, who was 2 years old and he absolutely adores trains so I couldn't have chosen a better image than this one!
His title is The Conductor and he's available at my favourite digi store Tiddly Inks.

I used a digital paper pack which I found on Etsy. Here's the link Erin Bradley designs.

As Ethan is only 2, I made the card A5 size (nice and big!) and decided not to add too many dimensional embellishments as he'd probably pull them off - as littlies tend to do!!!

Here it is in all its' glory!

Apart from the digital purchases, I have used an alphabet die set for the name in generic coloured cardstock and several stars in glitter card.

My usual Spectrum Noir and Tonic Nuvo pens are used for colouring.

I did stamp some little "screw" heads using free stamps from Creative Stamping mag some time ago.

Hope you like it and I hope Ethan loves it too!
