14 days until Christmas! I've started to count down now.... and really getting on the Christmas spirit!
Last night I set myself a challenge.... I wanted to make something different, just because... for myself! So I decided to make a calendar/drawer/card! I haven't got a name for it yet... And I'm quite happy with the outcome! when I started I though: "OMG! how can I make this? I'm so bad with measurements!" yeah, I'm not the best at keeping measurements right, and I haven't got an scoring board! but I went ahead... and this is the final product!
I used this beautiful rubber stamp called "Tilda with Heart Socks" by Magnolia.
The papers I used are from the First Edition Paper Rose Garden paper pad, K&Company and some scraps (I'm really trying to use up my scraps, but I usually forget and go for a brand new paper!)
I followed this sketch from the Bearly-Mine challenge this week.
Such a beautiful sketch and perfect for my little challenge!
I distressed all the card stock and paper edges with a blade and inked them with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen.
I coloured Tilda with my Promarkers (what would I do without them?)
For her hair I used: Raw Sienna, Sandstone and Buttermilk.
For her face and skin: Coral, Vanilla, Almond, Ivory, Blossom and blender pen. Plus a white gel pen.
For her clothes: Pink Carnation, Blossom, Pink Mittens, Buttermilk, Antique Pink and blender pen.
The Dies I used are: Tags from Joy Crafts; Swirls from Marianne Creatables; and Ornate Square from Xcut.
I used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch to create the Vellum butterflies.
The LAUGHTER and MEMORIES sentiments are part of a paper from K&Company.
The pink with yellow stitching ribbon is from Dovecraft.
I painted the metallic corner with a bit of white acrylic paint to help with the Shabby chic look.
The flowers, pearls, metallic corner, brad and lace are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The mini-calendar is from Hobbycraft.
