Sneaky Tilda

Hi everybody!

I have another card to share this week. I actually did this card last June and sent a picture of it to my friend greeting her a happy birthday. I think she liked it (hopefully.. haha)..

I decided to color her in Snow White colors.. Maybe it's because of her hair that reminded me of Snow White.. Colored in Copics of course using the no lines technique :)

I found these acrylic apples from my favorite notions shop.. These come in different sizes and these were the smallest, perfect for cards! I hadn't had the chance to come back to that shop in months and I miss it! I want to go back and hopefully get more fun finds :)

Hi everybody!

Yes I am still here, still alive and breathing :) Since I started working again my life turned upside down..  I come home from work totally feeling drained and tired, if ever I'm home all I wanted to do was sleep. I've neglected all the rest of the activities that I like to do - like going out with my friends, going to the mall, CRAFTING! I guess it just took a little while for me to get used to the grind - it's especially hard that my time gets changed in the beginning, but now that my schedule is fixed (albeit odd hours at 2am - 11pm) I'm now trying to cope up.

Last month, I was honored to be invited to be the guest card designer for the Filipino Scrapbookers . I'd like to share it with all of you..

Little Cute Tilda

Hi everybody!

I know it has been a while since my last post and the only reason for that was because I was busy finishing up several projects for the next Magnolia Ink issue. This issue is going to be so fabulous as always but for me this is so special :) I will keep it tight first but I am so sure that all of you will want to get a copy of it once it's out.

But before that, the latest issue of Magnolia Ink is out so grab yourselves a copy :)

Sea Breeze, Magnolia Ink Issue No. 3

And with the new magazine comes the newest Magnolia collection and they are just fabulous! I want each of those stamps in my desk :)

The new stamps, paper and dooHickeys are now available for pre order.

In the meantime, I would like to share a tag I whipped out last night. Don't you just love those sitting Tilda images? They are so versatile 'coz you can arrange it so that she is sitting in a lot of accessories that you have like stamps and die cuts. On this tag, I made Tilda sit on a window die cut.

Little Cute Tilda

Materials: Tag: Avery; Cardstock: American Crafts & Basic Grey; Patterned Papers: Magnolia; Flowers & Pistils: iamroses; fabric leaves, doily, stockinged bird, pearl string, Distress Ink, Stampendous Frantage, Liquid Pearl, Stickles

Stamping: Little Cute Tilda from Once Upon A Time 2013 & You are Special Text from Magnolia Stamps, Copic Markers, Memento Ink, Xpress It Blending Paper

Tools: dooHickey & Memory Box dies

Fabulous Magnolia Ink Papers - I can't get enough of them :)

This gothic window die is from Memory Box. I covered the die cut with Frantage to make it more vintage.

I colored Tilda using Copics. I used E70-77 for her hair, BG70-78 for her gown, YR21-24 & RV10-17 for her crown. I used a black pencil to highlight some points in the image.

Thanks for dropping by and see you guys again soon :)

Poppy Tilda

hi guys!
i've been out of circulation for this past 2 weeks trying to recover from the flu which has been on and off since the last week of march :( .. i always get sick especially in the change of seasons.. like right now here in manila summer has arrived and it's hot as an oven on most days.. our pools in the condo looks like public pools with all the kids converging in the late afternoon to swim and frolic in the water. i am not much of a pool person because 1) i cannot swim and 2) i get the shivers very easily.. lol.. my nephews have tried to persuade me and failed everytime they ask me to put on my bathing suit.. lol..

a belated happy easter to all of you :)

I woke up early today and I thought I would try to do a different take on my photo taking.. The sun was  up and I thought why not try to use natural light for taking photos :)

I only lightened the photo, no need to sharpen or highlight :)

I love how the photos came out.. and so now this means i have to wake up early to take photos of my cards :) lol...
