Flip Flop Tilda :)

Hi there,
Hope your enjoying this gorgeous weather :)
How lovely it is to have beautiful blue skies.
Today I have flip flop Tilda to share with you.
 I so enjoyed making this card.
That was until my third Vagabond died on me!
I was just about to cut a pink swirl as I was entering my card into the deep ocean challenge {swirls}
And pushed the button and no response.
Good job I had a pre -cut memory box swirl die cut in a draw #:-S
So I am without a die cutting machine again.
  My flip flop Tilda was masked onto the Magnolia Barrel Skull and Anchor stamp.
Both from the fantastic sirstampalot.
And coloured with Caran D'Ache pencils.
The papers are Magnolia.
And the little blue Art Tile from Prima was from my crafty heart.
They are gorgeous. Thank you Teresa xx
 Be back soon,
Love,melly. xxx

Hi Melly,
Ooh a flip-flop Tilda, just perfect for thsi weather and OMW how amazing as always is your colouring! That little tile looks wonderful in it's new home :)A wonderful tag too, it's all so beautiful. Your third vagabond? :(
I remember when your first went. Perhaps you should ask for your money back now and get a different model and make? I don't think I could take the stress of it all!

Absolutely gorgeous melly, as always.
What on earth do you do to your die cutting machines? I've got a cuttlebug that's lasted me quite a while
Hope you get something sorted soon, I would be lost not being able to use die cuts on my cards.
Hugs Bex xx

Oh no, nasty vagabond, how dare it to dye!!! (or is it die?? I never know how to write that silly word...). I have a big shot and love it...buuuuut it died on me too a couple of month ago :o) that's why we are all such busy bees in making cards!!
Love yours, it's another stunner as usual, and the tile is so "woooooooooooow"!!
Gotta go, have some laundry that should be ready to take out of hte machine...wish Stefan was at home then I'd send him...strangely he never comes home on Thursdays and Fridays before 10 pm... when I have done all the bl...y housework and laundry... grrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Big hugs, Aless

Alessandra said...

ooops, it should not be "that's WHY we are all such busy bees in making cards!!" but "that's BECAUSE"...

Alessandra said...

ah, I better shut up and go look what my laundry is doing all alone in the machine...

Rebekah said...

Kathleen said...

Oh this is gorgeous Melly, I have had my eye on that barrel and skull stamp for a while now, think I may have to buy it now! Stunning colouring, you are simply the best at colouring with these pencils.
Hope you get a die cutting machine soon, I would be so lost without mine!

This is so stunning, I love all of the layers and textures and the image is gorgeous, your colouring is stunning as always, I love the way that you have coloured the barrel, just stunning. I can't believe you have had a third vagabond die on you, that's really bad, when you pay all that money for something you really don't expect it to break after a couple of months, hope you manage to get it sorted out

Chris said...

OMG....had to go in for the close up, your colouring is stunning Mel! Such a beautiful design and colours too.

Sorry to read about your Vagabond I would say three strikes and they're out, hope you can get a refund? Not fun at all.

Have a good weekend,
hugs,
Chris xx

Anne said...

Your 3rd Vagabond??? That is so bad Melly - you must be so frustrated! I was tempted by them but resisted and carry on with my old Big Shot which I've had for about 4 years. I hope you get it sorted soon.

Your card is, as always, simply stunning! I could never tire of gazing at your amazing colouring! Enjoy the sunshine this weekend :o) Hugs xx
