Some Licious Candy!

I hope everyone is having a good week! I am in Chicago for another day. It has been a long week but a fun one! Fun to visit however, I would not want to live in a city. This photo is from the window of my room on the 43rd floor. I won't go to near the window because I am afraid of heights.  Yikes!!!

Tilda or Mathematician

Well it has been an interesting day! I am in Chicago on business this week. This evening we went out to dinner and one of the woman in our group got her purse stolen. The scary thing is we were in a restaurant and it was taken off her chair while we were all sitting there and none of us saw the person take it. According to the restaurant this happens all the time. Doesn't make you feel warm and fuzzy. Needless to say our evening was not what we had planned.

I made this easel card with Wizard Tilda as a Mathematician. I have to say this stamp is very versatile and so adorable.

Fairy Tale Tilda Sprinkles Some Blog Candy

I started this card for a challenge wings & bling and it morphed into not a rectangle or square and lastly Elegance. It is amazing how you imagine your project's outcome then it takes on a whole new look. Well that is what happened to this sweet little Tilda.  Lastly, I am  on glitter frenzy so I couldn’t help but add this luscious purple sparkle to her wings. The shape of the card was created with a chipboard flower which I used to created the front of the card and the base.

I can't believe the weekend is over.... Oh well back to work so I can buy some more goodies. I needed to make a birthday card for a co-workers's grandson so I decided to use an oldie but goody. I pulled out my Stampin' Up sea creatures. I think this fish is just too cute; I used cheese cloth behind the fish to create netting. I hope she likes it.

Tilda Says Your the Bees Knees and DT Call

Good Evening,

I don't usually post twice in one day however, I am so excited about applying for a DT call over at  Inky Impressions!  I had a great time making this card. As you can see Tilda is really stylin' and all ready for some summer fun! I chose to make an easel card. 

I  used stitching around the base of my card; I chose a floss that would compliment the DP.  To complete the look of Tilda's beanie I added Perfect Pearls. I also used them on the lace of  honey jar to create some interest and depth. Her wings, antennas and black stripes all were finished with glitter. I used Sunflower Glimmer Mist on the chipboard butterfly. And this was my first time using cheesecloth; I really liked the finished look.
