Tilda Just for You

Hi all, this is the card I have madethis afternoon. I have used a well neglecte Tilda Stamp and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens from Crafter's Companion. I am loving the shading on this image and it's a new Technique which Marcea kindly showed me yesterday.  I have added flowers fromm my stash. The main focal flower I have coloured using my Spectrum Noir pens to coordinate with the image. I have also added an epiphany flower button to the centre of this flower. The foliage has been cut on my eCraft. I also coordinated the ribbon with my Spectrum Noir pens as I didn't have a one I was happy with in my stash. The base cardstock is Snow white centura pearl from Crafter's Companion and The matts are Coordinations from the Tim Haltz Pad. Backing papers are from my stash. I have added a stamped Cuddly Buddly Sentiment and added spectrum noir and stickles details to this. Matted onto a scalloped circle nestie. The image and flowers have all had a little

Rose delights

This was a card I made yesterday evening before I went to work. I coloured the Rose stamped image from Crafter's Companion with my spectrum noir pens. I have added subtle shading and think it works. I then added some Stickles Glitter Glue to the rose and fairy wings. I matted and layered backinng papers from the cd. I changed the colour of the Rose text backing paper in the colouriser as I wanted a vivid Red.  I have made a Red Satin Bow and added an epiphany gem to the centre picking out the R from the Backing paper.
