Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend. I am off down South soon to visit family and attend the Windsor Horse parade this evening (just hope it stays dry as will not be under cover and no brollies allowed!!)
Anyway I just wanted to let you know that you still have a week to enter the fab challenge over at Totally Tilda. We want to see your Pink Princess Tilda creations and please remember Tilda must be wearing either a crown or tiara and she must be dressed in pink.

Pretty Pink Princess Tilda

Hi folks,
Firstly a big thanks to everyone that came along to the shop yesterday for my first big event. We all had a fantastic time and learnt lots of crafty tips and techniques from the very talented John Glossop aka Mr Messy.
Now onto todays fab new challenge over at Totally Tilda and this time we want to see any Princess Tilda in Pink. We are sponsored this time by the fabulous Crafty Ribbons so why not give it a go.

We are sponsored this time by the fabulous Crafty Ribbons so why not give it a go as they are giving away a fab prize like this one:


I have chosen to use the beautiful Princess Tilda from the 2010 Fairy Tale Collection. I used crystal gems to give her a proper blingy tiara. The gorgeous castle is from the 2012 Princes and Princesses Collection and I so wanted to try colouring it in a really girly way, hope it works!

The DP's are from a really old Papermania collection and the beautiful sentiment is of course LOTV.

Little close up of the beautiful Princess Tilda

As always I coloured with my trusty Promarkers. Iadded faux stitching to most DP layers and everything is edged with Pumice Stone DI.

I am entering my card into the following challenges:
Simply Magnolia - 'A Card But Not a Square'
Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Use Flowers'
Midweek Magnolias - #9 'May Flowers'
Passion for Promarkers - #147 'Bright and Light' (I used soft muted DP's and used bright colours for my Princess)

Promise I'll be back soon to share more creations once I have caught up with some sleep as this week has been pretty stressful what with countless trips to Docs numerous blood tests and the demo day yesterday my body is definately wanting a rest!
Big Hugs and Happy Crafting!
