Just for you!

Hey :)

Here's a little card i've been making the past few days. I've not really had much crafty time lately, so just been grabbing 5 mins at every chance i get!

I used another cute Tilda stamp which mum got me for christmas. I can't remember the name of it right now, but isn't she just sooooo sweet!?

The papers are papermania, and i sanded the edges and stitched around them by hand. The cheery blossom flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and i made the rosette from red ribbon. I just added a few bits and bobs from my stash, and there you go!

I'm not too sure whether i like this card or not. I love the colours, but its all a bit higgledy-piggledy. Ah well :)

I coloured Tilda with distress inks -
Skin - Antique Linen, Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo & Victorian Velvet
Hair - Vintage Photo & Black Soot
Dress, Hat and Shoes - Vintage Photo & Black Soot
Socks - Walnut Stain

I'm entering this in the Just Magnolia challenge, which is Anything Goes!

Thanks for looking, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hugs, Rachel xx
