fido meets tilda on a bike at the door

what a mighty God we serve! it has been a tough week, but here i am, still standing - praise be to God! too much drama to mention, and all is sorted now, so now we look forward!! got some more orders for cards!! it was actually very strange how it happened - i went to the haberdashery looking for a specific template and some buttons, but i had to show them one of my cards so that they could know what i was talking about. one of the ladies asked me to make her a card for her grandson in Canada, but it had to have a DOG (of all things) as he loves dogs! then another lady said that she can't just send the boy one, what about the little girl? so, i had to make two cards for her! the image was coloured with Copics (first time doing a black/gray colouring, it is a bit off) and the Happy Birthday is an MSE stamp that was stamped in Moonlight White Brilliance and then embossed with white sparkle EP.

tilda was coloured with my Colleen soft pencils and blended with OMS. i then sewed the beads on with a thin gold wire. i punched a few circles, cut them in half and created the scalloped edges. the bow was made with my new bow easy!! LOVE THAT THING!!

the bike is from the flower soft people - bought it at the convention, but had not used it, together with my single pot of flower soft - i will need to relook Suzanne's tutorial on the stuff- but i LOVE the bike!! i coloured that with a mixture of Copics, Derwent Inktense and Colleen

Last but not least we have the X'mas card - the door image is from Artistic Outpost - just LOVE that door!! i had stamped it about 10 days ago, and it was just lying on my table, and when i tried to clean a bit on Friday, found it. i used my Bazzil Stitching template to do the swirl - first stitched it in the blue-ish yarn and then again with the fine gold - i don't know if you can see it unless you enlarge the picture. some ribbon and a sentiment finishes it!! and there you have it! hope you like them - please let me know - i really appreciate all your comments. i will be posting some scrapbook layouts next - am a bit behind on that!! enjoy your SUNDAY!!!
