Scorpio Tilda

I hope you are all enjoying this Sunday. We have great spring weather today, high temperatures and a little bit of wind. My daughter got a sandbox from her grandpa and now we spend all our afternoons in it. And yes, there is sand all over the house. :)

Today I have a small gift bag for you with one of the new Zodiac Tildas - Scorpio Tilda. 

For this card I used:

• colors: TH distress ink markers and distress ink pads
• ink: archival black
• watercolor paper: Langton HP 300g
• design papers: Maja design
• stamp: Scorpio Tilda (Zodiac coll., 2014)
• dies: Magnolia - so wrapped lovely, Spellbinders - majestic elements opulent ovals, Joy crafts - butterfly die
• punch - MS - hearts border
• white lace

Aries Tilda

Yes, I'm an Aries? Typical? I don't know, I'm not much into horoscope, but what I know is that my stone is diamond (wohooo ...) and my colour red (not!).

I really enjoyed colouring this one, it's gorgeous but so are all the other stamps from this collection. I think this collection is a tricky one. Zodiac means 12 signs and you simply must have them all. Don't you agree? I'm not there yet, but on a good way ... lol

For this card I used:

• colors: TH distress ink markers and distress ink pads
• ink: archival black
• watercolor paper: Langton HP 300g
• design papers: Maja design
• stamp: Aries Tilda (Zodiac coll., 2014)
• dies: Magnolia - swirl, floral tabs, bride bow
• white lace
• cheesecloth
• flowers from I am roses, LLC
• stickles glue (stardust)
• white crackle paint
• frantage (shabby white).

I’m entering this card into the following challenges:

1. Magnolia down under: Blue, brown and white
2. Deep Ocean challenge (TOP 3): For a friend

Thank you for visiting my blog today. Have a great weekend!  t.
