TILDA'S SHAKER CARD

Hi folks,

 

Here I have something I have been wanting to try for simply ages, probably some years to be

honest.  My very first shaker card.  The photo does not show the sequins very well, although one seems to have  strayed to the top on the photo.  Well actually I am quite chuffed  with it.  

I have used some of my favourite things here, the lovely Tilda stamp was a lovely belated Christmas pressie from a very good friend of mine (thanks honey - I love it!).  And as you know I love doilies, cheesecooth, flowers, Memory Box and Cheery Lyn dies!

So we have Cheery Lyn and Memory Box die-cuts,  flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and from my stash, tiny heart buttons, cheesecloth (of course! lol) ribbon, doily, gems, lace across the top and sparkle

and inside:

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Hi folks

What a strange day it has been here, one of those days when it has been two steps forward and one back all the while.  Everything I touched went wrong, fortunately I rescued my creation each time but it was a real challenge!  Tomorrow has to be better! lol

Surprise surprise we have Tilda again!  I have coloured her with Copics and Promarkers.  There are lots of layers using Nitwit papers (new to me) and both doily and cheesecloth together with a large flower under the image.  There are a mixture of die-cuts and punches.  The flourishes are Tim Holtz dies, the leaves are Cheery Lyn, the lacy strip placed horizontally is a Martha Stewart punch.  I have ribbon and flower button at the top left.  The lovely flower at the bottom right was a free gift from Magnolicious.  This is my last one used now!  Sob!  I think the tag is a Magnolia die, I purchased this from EBay recently.  Finshed off with lots of sparkle.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
