Triple Tilda challenge!

Good morning all! The sun is shining and I hope it will stay that way! I think we had more than enough rain yesterday! The card I have to show you today is one I managed to make yesterday and it meets with 3 of this weeks challenges. Well I though I had better get my thinking cap on as I won't be here for 4 days this week so I want to get as many challenges done as I possible before I leave! I am entering it into this weeks Just Magnolia, whose challenge is distressing, Colour Create, where you have to use the colours Orange, Pink and Green and I have used the sketch from Friday Sketchers, although I have rotated the sketch clockwise {so I hope it counts!}.


I have used these gorgeous new stamps from the magnolia Summer kit, the first time I have inked these two up! I think she is just so sweet in her bathing suit, dipping her toes in the water! She must be somewhere abroad as we certainly haven't got the weather for it here in the UK at the minute!
I'm slowly getting used to this distressing technique {I'm usually more of a CAS gal} and have distressed around the image and paper edges with my sponge and distress inks. I also distressed the paper and CS lightly with an emery board. This is about as distressed as I can get! Lol!

Materials:

Image: Tilda and rubber ring from the Summer Kit, coloured with koh-i-noors and sansodor

Papers: MME Bloom & Grow

CS: Coredinations

Flowers: Acrylic Flowers from Making Memories, hand punched with retro punches

Pearls: Papermania brad, Hobby House pearl gems

Sentiment: Studio G

Tools: distress inks, sponge, nesties, retro flower punches

Misc: button, pink thread from my stash

Well I spent most of yesterday in my craft room, I had a lovely day in my own little world and got lots done! Unfortunately I also have a very sore left index finger this morning, lets just say there was a craft knife and lots of blood involved! It's the first time in 3 years that I've had an accident like this whilst crafting, it must have been because I was so engrossed in what I was doing! Lol!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend! I'm planning on heading back to my craft room for a few more hours again today, although I do have a few house chores to get done today as well! Boo hiss!

Thanks for stopping by to say hi!

Hugs, Vicky ~x~
