Distressing..........





This is for a couple challenges, Totally Tilda(distressing), Magnolia Mania(distressing).Who knows better about distressing then Tim Holtz, so I used his paper and flowers, and ink to help distress this step card!I inked the edges, and also distressed them with my distress tool! I made the tag out of Tim's papers, added a bow and some ric-rac, and there you have it.........my fav thing to do~ distressing! Thanks for takin' a peek! Teresa*

Sketch, ribbon, stitching, swirls,dots, & flowers!





This is for a few challenges! Magnolia Mania(sketch & ribbon), Magnolia Down Under(stitching & swirls), Creative Stamp Friends(dots). I made some of the "rolled" flowers that seem to be everywhere in card blogland! They are quite fun, and very addicting.....fun to see what they will look like using the different papers! I distressed all the papers, did stitching on all the paper, added the swirls from my sizzix, added some pretty little pearls, some pretty corners from Melissa Frances, and some pretty ribbon! Colored Tilda with distress inks too! Thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*

Purple and tons of flowers!





Wow, I don't normally use the color purple or lavender, but this paper that I won from Denise is just so gorgeous, of course I had to use it! I distressed all the layers of paper, added some punched leaves, did some fussy cutting, made the heart, added some lavender lace and ric-rac, and also did some paper piecing on Tilda's dress! I also added some bling(pearls), and topped it off with some pretty ribbon and flowers! This is for Paper Sundaes(all 4- purple, gems,wings, paper piecing), Deep Ocean Challenge(flowers everywhere!).Thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin' apeek! Teresa*

Summer............jumping rope!!









Sorry there's so many pics, but I wanted you to see the "open" area to this card! I hung Tilda in the middle of opening with wire! I made both of the big flowers, the one at the bottom with button is made out of material! I also distressed all the papers, added some gauze, and punched out the fence with my MS punch! If you look at the picture where the card is folded up, it's really cool how the fence just drops down into card, and adds a really cool effect to the closed card! I used one of my older Tilda's, she's jumping rope, which screams summer to me!! This is my first post with the new challenge blog...."Official Magnolia Inspiration!"(summer is the theme), also for Just Magnolia(butterflies). Thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin'a peek!(oh, my inspiration for this card came from another card maker, and for the life of me cannot remember her name...sorry!) Teresa*

Anything but a card!!!!





This was made for the challenge over at Totally Tilda-anything but a card!!So I made this little purse, and added my newest Tilda to the top of it, sitting with her rabbbit! I colored her with distress inks, and I also distressed all the papers on the purse! Thank you so much for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*
