Tiddly Inks challenge 81- Fabric Fun...



Morning peeps!!! How are you all this fine Tiddly Tuesday??!!!

Well, its time for a new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog this week and our little gang of Tiddly Inkers want to see some....
Fabric on your creations!!
so this week we want to see some yummy ideas for getting material onto your cards/creations.
Oh and there's a new Wryn in the shop too....she's too sweet......love her!! This is Wryn- with a cherry on top.
(Now, not to help you too much but if you click on her it will take you straight to her home in the shop.....:) :) ya'll know I like  to help you out in any way I can..... )

I just had to make a mothers day card with the fabulous 'Take a Stand' digi from the Tiddly Inks bargain basement. I adore the way you can add any message you fancy onto her little sign boards. I added ' I have the best mum' using psp. But fabric was a little more of a challenge for me and I ummm-ed and ahhh-ed about my DT make for so long I was thinking I wouldn't even get one done!! lol!!!...that was until I bought my Big Shot and got some free dies with it :) :)

oooh I got flowers and swooshes and more and because of all the gorgeous free ones I was able to buy myself a Lord Tim Vintage Lace decorative borders die (...yes Lou...that's you enabling me again hun!!!!!)

Scott, Mo and I spent the whole afternoon playing around and cutting out bits of felt and paper to experiment, I love that we all did that together, did I ever tell you I have the best hubby ever? :) and then on saturday night I had a little play on my own with some scraps of felt I had left over. I layered up the blue and brown alternately to make the flower stand out a bit more. The teeny centre of the flower should be a little circle with dots around the edge but I swapped it out with the heart from my swooshey instead, it looks so cute!!

So, please pop on over to the Tiddly Inks challenge blog as the rest of the Tiddly Inking gals are a zillion times  more fabulous than me when it comes to using material and have made some mouth watering yumminess to inspire you all. 

Right I am off for a cuppa and a few squooshes with Mo before I drop him off at school and have a plod in the fields with the fluffy princess!
Have a super duper day peeps! and huge thank you's for popping in on me :)
