HOT LITTLE TILDA

Good Morning Peeps :o)

I love that word!

* I have blog candy today *

Today's Challenge at

Magnolia-licious and Wee Challenge Blog

is 

SOME LIKE IT HOT

I have used # 398 Tilda in Key Largo

from the Summer Memories Collection

2012.

The weather has been strange for some time. Fortunately (or unfortunately LOL ) at my house

( this week ) it is hot hot hot!

Little Tilda decided to take a long 

bike ride, having no idea how hot she

would get! As she past the lake

she just had to take a dip.

card front:

She had her new summer dress on 

and knew she couldn't get it wet, so she

waded in as deep as she could.

She took of her sunglasses and laid

her bike safely on the grass.

The sun was beating down on her,

but getting her feet and legs wet

made her feel so much better.

open at one fold

For today I made a different kind

of folded card. I am sorry I can't 

remember what it is called or where

I saw it :o(  It might be called

a side fold?

right side when open

On the left side there is a mountain 

and two valley folds - so there is a lot

of room for writing. Also that is

how it stands up.

I used a punch from Michael's Reflection 

Line which is a summer theme of

sand castles, pails and shovels.

I punched both the top and

bottom of my card and used

quite a bit of Tim Holtz

distress ink: Vintage Photo

to make it stand out.

I have used Nitwits Paper

called Hello Sunshine for my design paper.

The whole card, back and front

are covered completely with it.

My Card Stock is Whisper White from S.U.

As well as Tilda, the sun is a Magnolia

Stamp called: Tilda's sun.

Both dies are from Magnolia as well.

I punched out two grasses in

different colour greens, and the bicycle

which I used the same Distress Ink,

plus some Stickles.

I alternated the grass and slid the

bike down and between the grass.

The sun was stamped on my paper,

coloured and cut out.

The rays of the sun are bent in 

different ways and fall off

the card.

This is my first time using

Frantage! I love it, but

learned I need to apply it

differently next time.

I also used the blue Pearl Pen

for the first time on my card.

Believe it or not I have practiced

quite a while with it to get

my pearls perfected. BUT 

when I took the lid off

and turned it over to use

it dropped like water on my card :o(

It was so hot in my house it

had melted!! So of course it

doesn't look good at all.

The glasses are from my stash 

and the seashells are some that

I have collected. They are so tiny.

Most of my shells are a lot larger,

but these ones were so pretty.

You must check out 

DIANA'S STORE.

The last collection called

'Special Moments'

is just lovely for

Wedding and Anniversary Cards,

besides stamps. She has paper with

matching envelopes, charms, many die
