Spooooky Halloween Card

Well, it's not actually that spooky, but it is a Halloween Card. I call this one Witchy Tilda. I colored Tilda with my copic markers to match the Basic Grey Eerie paper. The really cool thing I did to this card does not show up at all in the photo, so I will need to do it on another card soon. I distressed the edges of the image with distress ink and then painted over the entire image with the new Tim Holtz rock candy paint to make it look crackled. It did actually look really cool in person.

Red, white, and blue Tilda with some pink too

This card serves many many purposes (my favorite kind). It fits the magnolia-licious color challenge of blue, red, and pink, the just magnolia challenge to use paper piecing on a card, the roses on paper was to use flowers on a card you've entered in another challenge. Well, this one has flowers on the paper and on her cake. I think I may also use it for a few more purposes. I'm really happy with how it turned out. This Tilda with Birthday Cake is one of my newest stamps even though I think she is an older image. I picked a background paper from Sassafras Lass that had the colors red, blue, and pink in it and went from there. I found the polka dot paper in a pack I've had forever. The thing about paper piecing is you have to find paper with a small enough pattern for it to repeat in the small area you have. I was glad that all 3 of the main colors made it into the dress. I cut Tilda out with a nestabilitie and matted her on a larger one. I added a scalloped border out of core'dinations and added a bow made out of tulle. I love tulle and I bought several rolls of it thinking I would use it for something and this is the first time I've actually used it. I think it is my favorite part of the card and I will definitely start using it more often.

Piggy's Card

Well, the title of my blog is Scrappy and Piggy. I am the scrappy part and my daughter is the piggy part, her nickname has been Piggy since she was a baby. Well, she loves making cards and coloring stamps as much as I do, especially at bedtime for some reason. I think it's a stalling tactic. She colored this Tilda with Sunflower image and made a card out of it for her grandmother. She has really gotten the hang of coloring with the copics. She's watched a lot of

tutorials and knows how to use the blender pen and everything. Lately I'm having a hard time telling which ones she colored and which ones I colored. I'm glad she has as much fun making cards as I do, it's a fun activity for the two of us to do together.

Ahoy, Tilda!

Being a huge Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fan, I have several items in my possession with skulls and pirate items on them. My daughter also loves skulls and crossbones. She had a pink skull birthday party last year and was a skull fairy for Halloween (picture is on the blog somewhere).So, it was only fitting that I try to turn Tilda into a Buccaneer! I figured spring Tilda would work pretty good because of her overalls and boots. I colored her overalls red, her boots black, and her shirt is white with black polka dots- perfect pirate attire. I cut a treasure chest on my cricut (paper dolls cartridge) for her to sit on, a little pirate flag for her to hold, and of course a pirate hat for her to wear. I used my starving artists beach background and matted it on some skull and crossbones paper. I pop dotted Tilda on the chest and added some jewels spilling out. The sentiment You're a Treasure is from Corninsh Heritage Farms. I plan on adding some more to the inside of the card, but this is as far as I've gotten so far. What do you think? Is she a convincing pirate? Can't you just hear her saying "ARRGH"?

Another Sweet Tilda

Another Day, another Tilda card. I can't stop making them. This card worked perfectly for me because it fulfills 3 different challenges from 3 different blogs. The first challenge was from Roses on Paper and they're challenge was to use pink, yellow, and green on a card. This Basic Grey Porcelain pack has all three of them, so it was the perfect choice. The design of this card fulfills the sketch challenge at Mojo Monday. I struggled a little on this one, but I think I got pretty close. Finally, this card will also be playing along at the copic colour challenge blog where the challenge was to use the copic colors RV 11, E39, and Y06 in your project. I don't have E39 but I did use E37 on her shoes. I tried the Y06 but it was way too bright for this project, so I substituted Y21 and Y11 for the yellow. I paper pieced her coat with two of the papers from the pack and added a little flower soft to her hair. Then I added some lace, a silk flower (which was white and I colored it with the yellow copics to match) and a pearl in the center. I sponged rose distress ink around to stamped image to make it blend into the project a little more. If you are interested in the Basic Grey Porcelain paper, stampingscrapping has a great price on it!
