Tilda & Co. Challenge 29

The Tilda & Co. Challenge 29 theme is 'Bugs' ...

I used the Generous Tilda stamp coloured with brush markers which I placed onto some matting and layering of pink papers and purple cardstock.

Unfortunately I don't have any ugly bugs so had to make do with dragonfly brads and butterfly peel offs. Doodled some dotty trails and it's job done!

Tilda & Co. Challenge 25 ~ Dotty

Over at Tilda & Co. Challenge Blog this week the theme is 'Dotty' and there is another fabulous prize on offer.
I found some pretty HOTP dottylicious paper and matted it onto pink card.
The side panel was pleated first to add some interest and then both panels were cut with scalloped scissors before mounting onto a pink blank card.

I used the cute 'Tingla' stamp and coloured it with Sakura pens. Pink glitter added dotty detail and glossy accents added shine to the wings.

A wide pink satin ribbon was also dottilly decorated with pink glitter and an adhesive greeting was added to pink card before cutting out with my trusty scalloped scissors.

Tilda & Co. Challenge 24

I decided to open one of my new Magnolia stamps and have a play this afternoon.
I thought ... what better way to try it out than to enter this week's Tilda & Co. challenge ... Hmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm not so sure it was a good idea as this week the theme is 'Serendipity'.
Check out the Tilda & Co. website for an explanation and examples.

In my crafty naivety, I thought it would be easy peasy so dug out my scrap paper box and proceeded to tear and rip with glee.
I glued all the bits'n'pieces randomly onto orange card with relish, then set it aside to dry. Then, I stamped and gold embossed willy nilly all over the mosaic mess, in an effort to produce a workable base to chop into small pieces and use in a creative way.

Do you know what???

It turned out to be much harder than I imagined to actually create something I was remotely happy with ...
However, I didn't give up and did eventually come up with a result which I shall enter and see what happens ... and maybe I need to have a little more practice at this technique.

The Magnolia stamp was paper pieced with bits left over from the mosaic too but I reckon next time I will play safe and just use watercolour pens as originally intended.
