Sweet Tilda 'Just for you'

Hey!

Here's a card which i've made for my grandma to give a friend.

It's made using 'Sweet Tilda', coloured with distress inks, papers from a k&co pack, an x-cut border punch, flowers made with blossom nesties, papermania rub-ons, and a stamped sentiment. All of the edges are distressed with scissors, and lightly inked with walnut stain. And then i finished it with 'star dust' stickles, pearls, and papermania gems.
Tilda is coloured with distress inks:
Skin - Antique Line and Tattered Rose
Hair and shoes - Walnut Stain
Dress - Peeled Paint and Victorian Velvet
Socks and ribbons - Victorian Velvet
I decorated the inside with a piece of patterned paper from the same set, and distressed the edges like i did on the front.

Heart of gold - wedding/anniversary card

Hiya
Here's a card i've made for one of mum's work friends, for her wedding in a couple of weeks.
The cardblank was already embossed with the flowers, but i cut it down as it was A5 sized, and i wanted it smaller. I inked the edges with antique linen distress ink, and embossed lines around each edge, then made a heart shape from x-cut punched flowers, and added perfect pearls and glitter glue to the centres, then finished it with a couple of white pearls.
I need a bit more practice with perfect pearls, so don't look too close!

Right, i'd better go sort my background out then...

Vintage Candle

Hey!
Here's a candle which has been sat on my desk waiting to be decorated for about a month, so i thought it was about time. I bought the Personal Impressions stamp at a car-boot sale yesterday and just had to use it for this. It is stamped onto tissue paper with 'walnut stain' distress ink, heated onto the candle, then finished with some 'star dust' stickles.
I'm entering it in Stampin for the weekend - shabby or vintage
Thanks for looking
