shading on Tilda and new goodies

Zoe-licious of the Make It Colourful challenge did a tutorial for shading Edwins Trousers which I followed to colour Tilda's jumpsuit, this is about the fifth attempt and I really pleased with how she turned out.  My order arrived from the Craft Barn yesterday so as you can see I had a few new goodies to play with.

The dies are all Marianne D and I am loving them I threaded two lengths of contrasting ribbon through the border punch and I sat Tilda on a wall of Swarovski crystals. the flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts and I sprayed it with glimmer mists.

Easel Card

Now how convenient is that this weeks challenge at Dotties World is for an Easel Card and I still had one little boy I really wanted to do from the Boys Set from Charmed Cards and Gifts.

I printed him out twice so I could layer his arm and train set.
I followed the sketch from Papertake Weekly and the colours from Simon Say which are Pink or Blue with Green and Brown.

The appy irthday I stamped onto the ribbon with Stazon and the H & B I stamped onto the DP (sorry cant remember where the papers from)and then tripled embossed with clear embossing powder.

Ooops

This little cutie was downloaded from Hiedi and coloured with my Copics.
I coloured the brads with Copics to match the papers The dragonfly which I cut using a spellbinders die cut, from parchment paper was also coloured with copics and the wings were then sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist. Unfortunately it doesnt show up very well but IRL the dragonfly really glistens.
Papers were from my Costco Collection and Ric Rac pinched from Big Sis.
Challenges
I made this card for the Copic Creation Challenge, although having read the post properly this time it is supposed to have an easter theme!!!!! Perhaps it will count for an easter holidays pastime??????

Papers are from the Romance disc that goes with the stamps. Border punched with a Martha Stewart Punch.
Red hearts are buttons that I have had for ages and have no idea where there from!

Frosty the Snowman - Cute Daisy May DT Card, All that sparkles

It's time for a new challenge at Cute Daisy May and this week we want to see what you come up with for a 'Blue Christmas'


For my card I used this cute snowman, he has such a happy face I can't help loving him.
I coloured him with Copics and used flake (that is Flake and not a typo, not sure what it is really called as it was a pressie)glitter for his body, which gives him a real sparkly snow look IRL.
I then got a bit carried away and used Glitter Board for my matting and Layering and the snowflakes which I cut using my Spellbinders Snowflake die.
I used the Spellbinders snowflake embossing folder highlighted with Persian Sea Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Mica Pigments, which gives a lovely effect when the light hits it.
I added some gems and a crystal for his nose, to complete my card. I used Sticky pads and silicone to attach my snowman to give the card some depth which you can sort of see here.

Linnie the creator of Cute Daisy May has got into the Christmas Spirit early and is giving away a sheet of four fabulous xmas images, so if you like this cutie Snowman you need to head on over to the Cute Daisy May Blog to grab yours now. The great thing about them are they are digital so you get to use them straight away no waiting for postmen strikes to finish and you can resize them to fit your project.

Dont forget to visit the rest of the DT's blog and check out their creations.

I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge which is All That Sparkles, The
