The gorgeous Tilda

Hiya

I'm sorry i've not been around much lately. Mum's been quite ill with her MS, and i've had a cold which has taken all of my energy, so there's not been much crafty time. This cards taken since Wednesday to make lol. Well... i coloured the image on Wednesday, Made the flowers on Thursday and then made the card today :D

Anyways... The easel's made with nesties (again!), Cuttlebug embossing folders, lots and lots of Dusty Concord distress ink, Tilda coloured with distress inks and glittered, computer generated sentiment, x-cut punched flowers, big flowers made like in my tut and sprayed with gold glimmer mists, charm from stash, lots of glitter glue, faux stitching and gems, et voila!

The gorgeous Tilda is coloured with distress inks:

Dress, shoes and earings - Dusty Concord

Skin - Tattered rose and Antique Linen

Hair - Antique Linen and Walnut Stain

Leaves - Peeled Paint

I'm entering it in these challenges:


Just Magnolia - Anything goes

Creative Card Crew - Happy Birthday

A Spoonful of Sugar - Happy Birthday

PaperPlay - No patterned paper

Stamp Somethings - Charmed Somethings


Thanks for looking
