Warm it up

The challenge this week on Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog is "Warm it Up"

They wanted us to make an ATC with warm colours or a warming theme. So I have used Petunia again and today she is the Sun Goddess. She has been coloured using polychromos and sansodor. The sand is sandpaper, the sea is textured blue paper, and the sun is a flower. have just added a stafish to finish.

Tilda and Friends ATC

Today is the first challenge of the year on Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog and they have decided to make a few changes
"We have decided to allow you to use all different kinds of craft on your ATCs for Tilda and Friends, as long as the overall effect remains cute. So you can now use downloaded images or printed decoupage as well as Magnolia and other cute stamps. "


The theme this week is new beginnings so a chance to play with new crafty presents and any other new bits.

I have used a sugar nellie stamp that I got just before christmas but never used, new basic grey paper from the two scoops range which i made into a frame using a new set of nestabilities that my mum got me for christmas. The image has been coloured using polychromos and sansodor. This year I will try other colouring mediums ..... promise.
Added a couple of ribbons to the frame and there is one completed ATC.

Come on over and join in the fun of ATC's and maybe we can swap some time.

Tilda and Friends

It's Wednesday which can only mean Tilda and Friends ATC challege. This week the theme is Bring on the Bling, we are asked to use anything bright, shiny or sparkly on our ATC's.

I have Tilda wearing glittered tights, sitting on a ribbon which in real life has a sparkle to it, and the flower centre is a gem along with the 2 smaller flowers . The BP also has some shiny bits in it which can just about be seen in the pic

Chilly Tilda

This week on the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog the theme is fluffy creations, took me a bit of time to think of what stash I had that was fluffy, so I have used Chilly Tilda and coloured her with polychromos and sansodor, and she is sitting on snow cotton wool, next to her Christmas tree, which is of course a feather. The sky has just been chalked.

Tilda and Friends

Never got round to playing last week, so was determined to do this weeks challenge which is Golden Tones. The lovely ladies who run this challenge would like to see the golden tones of Autumn as our inspiration, So I have used Tilda and her broom, coloured her in what I think are Autumnal colours with polychromos and sansodor, the background is spice marmalade sidtress ink, slightly lightened with a wet wipe. The leaves are punched out and then colured with a mixture of distress inks. The trees in the background are an Anitas stamp which I have never used, but thought that it might be useful one day, that day being today.

Tilda and Friends

This week there is no set theme on Tilda and friends ATC challenge blog, but the idea this week is to send the ATC off to Shary with an SAE and they will return a different one back, so this week I have used Tilda reading for my book worm ATC, which is what I am, apart from I only wear the glasses for driving. Tilda has been coloured with polychromos and sansodor, and have added the books button and dymo tape

Not so perfect

Well those nice ladies over on the Tilda and friends ATC challenge blog asked us to wrap this week. They want us to wrap up our ATC's with ribbons, string or anything else that springs to mind.

My new Tilda stamps arrived today and this Tilda fell out of the package, she seems to have hurt her arm and head. Poor girl has ended up sitting in the doctors waiting room with that horrendous wallpaper and plasters stuck all over the wall. See, not quite so perfect now is she.

No Color sense

This week on Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge blog, the challenge is Pink, blue, green. So my Tilda wasn't thinking clearly this morning and has just thrown her clothes on and this is the result. Not much colour sense at all.

Tilda and Friends ATC

This week the challenge on Tilda and Friends ATC blog is New Beginnings. I decided to use the Squaw stamp from Kadoodle stamps from the craft barn. I think these stamps are great and this one fitted the bill nicely. The reason for the baby is one nephew of mine has recently become a dad, and another nephew and his wife are expecting their first baby.

Tilda and Friends ATC challenge

This month the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog has changed sllightly, we can now use other stamps such and Hanglar and Stangler stamps, Hamish, Maggie ETC, but no Sarah Kay or sweet ebony stamps. So for the first week I have chosen to use Hamish and his tractor. It seems an age since I made an ATC and not too many months ago it was all I seemed to make. Cards have taken over again thanks to all the challenge blogs around, So I'm glad to see Tilda and friends back again.

Spring n Winter

These are my Spring and Winter ATC's for the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge of the 4 seasons which has been running this month on the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog.
In the spring one Tilda is just sitting on a ribbon and the grass and sky has been chalked and in the Winter one the background has been embossed using the snowflakes embossing folder on the cuttlebug, and both have rub ons added

Autumn n summer

For the month of August there is a month long challenge running on the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog, the theme is four seasons. These are my Autumn and Summer ATC,s spring and winter are at the moment works in progress. All the images are coloured with polychromos and sansador. The summer one has glimmer mist sprayed lightly onto the background.

Magnolia Seasons

This month the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog are running a Seasons challenge, the challenges are normally set weekly but for August it is a month long challenge. We have to make an ATC for each season and this is my summer one. Autumn one is almost done but its drying at the moment. Have used polychromos and sansador to colour Tilda, and have used Distress inks for the sea and sky and sprayed some glimmer mist over them

Beads beads beads

This week challenge on the Tilda and friends atc challenge blog is Beads, so I have given Tilda a nice green necklace to match her green outfit, most certainly the beaded lady now. The little flower gems are really green but they don't show up well on the scan, maybe because the atc won't lie flat in the scanner due to the necklace

By the Light

Today is Wednesday so its time for the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge. This weeks challenge is to use Buttons, use up one or two or more of those buttons from your button jar.
I have used a mother of pearl button for the moon, with tilda just dipping her toes into the night time water with a starfish and a dolphin (i think) in the water

Purrfect Harmony

This weeks challenge on the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog is Our Animal Friends , so I have made my ATC with Edwins dog and Tildas Cat, sitting together in Purrfect Harmony. The background is just distress inks with the good ole Dymo tape to finish

Sitting in the sun

This weeks challenge on Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog is Perfect pearls, they want us to incorporate perals, be it pearl paint, pearls, pearlescent paper etc. So my ATC of tilda has a pearl heart in the centre of the flower which is supposed to represent the sun. Have used magnolia background stamp as well as tough tilda

Lavender and Lace

This weeks challenge over on Tilda and Friends ATC blog is Lavender and Lace. I have used milled lavender distress ink for the background, added Tilda who is wearing apaper pieced dress, then some white lace, a flower and a dragonfly to finish it off. All coloured in various shades of lavender with a hint of lilac thrown in.

Back at last

Well after a week away, I am now back and have started the crafting with this weeks challenge over on Tilda and friends ATC blog. This weeks theme is "Summer in Bloom" and they want ATC's with summer flowers on them. This week I have used Tilda holding lilacs, a cut down and shortened wooden bench and the summer background stamp, all from Magnolia. The background has been chalked and Tilda coloured using polychromos and sansador.

Tilda and Friends day

Well this weeks challenge over on Tilda and Friends ATC blog is to make an ATC using some of those Bits and Pieces that are lying around on the craft desk. I had pieces of this star paper on my desk, so decided to use this along with some other scraps and Sitting Edwin who just happens to have a star on his jumper. Completed the look with a couple of star brads and some Ric Rac that Edwin is sitting on
