The Gorgeous Tilda... again!

Hiya
Here's a card using some gorgeous new papers i bought yesterday at Samual Taylors. I haven't been for ages, and i used to practically live there!, so it was really nice to go again and have a browse in the sales :)
The image is 'Tilda With Peony' and is coloured with distress inks. The papers are from the 'Kioshi' collection by Basic Grey. I {love} them! All of the stitching is done by hand, and then i just added a ribbon, charm and some pearls to keep it nice and simple.
I coloured Tilda with my distress inks:
Skin - Antique Linen, Tattered Rose & Victorian Velvet
Hair - Vintage Photo & Black Soot
Dress - Weathered Wood & Black Soot
Socks - Weathered Wood
Shoes - Vintage Photo & Black Soot
Flower - Victorian Velvet
Leaves - Peeled Paint
I'm entering this into:
Creative Inspirations - something new
7 Kids College Fund - anything goes
Thanks for looking
Hugs, Rachel xx
