Tilda With Wooden Spoon

Morning,

Tracy here and the start of a new theme at Live and Love Crafts and another favourite of mine, "Pearls". My mojo went walkabouts this week so this card has taken me almost a week to complete  I kept going back to it and not liking what I had done and I eventually ended up with more or less my original layout, grrrr. I have used PionDesigns Cornflower 6 x 6 and I didn't want to cover up the cornflowers at the bottom left and also wanted to keep the frame so I haven't layered up as much as I would normally but I think I like the result.  I created the base of the card using MayaDesign Vintage Summer 1935.

I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks and edged all the layers with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I have used the new White Flower Sprays again with the Magnolia Berries and Kort and Godt Rolled Flowers and Chrysanthemums and added some gorgeous Pearl String, love these.

 

I also introduced some Frantage Shabby Blue Embossing powder to the Butterfly and here's a close up so you can really see how fabulous this embossing powder is.  It has a hint of blue, white and gold and looks gorgeous in real life.  Sandy should be listing a few colours imminently, so keep checking the store. A word of warning though if you decide to emboss metal, make sure you leave it to cool down before handling as it gets very hot.

I also decorated the inside and gave the floral ovals the Shabby Blue embossing treatment, love the effect.

I have also used the little teapot charm, hanging from the bark heart, and a little calendar ticket cut from the PionDesign Cornflower 6x6 Paper.

Thanks for stopping by today.
