Tilda with cherries

Hey :)

Yay i've finally made something! I coloured this image about a week ago, and just finished making it up into a little card.

I've made this one for the Magnolia Down Under challenge, which is 'no patterned papers'. The image is 'Tilda with cherries', coloured with distress inks, cuttlebug embossing folders - Swiss Dots and D'vine Swirls, Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and some seam binding inked with distress ink. Everything is inked with Vintage Photo distress ink and stitched, and then i just added some butterflies, staples, a doily and gems.
Distress inks used:
Skin - Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Hair & shoes - Vintage Photo, Black Soot
Dress, hat & socks - Walnut Stain
Cherries - Victorian Velvet
I'm also entering this in:
Just Magnolia - sketch A Spoon Full of Sugar - tonnes of texture Papertake Weekly - anything goes Creative Inspirations - punches & dies

Thanks for looking
 Rachel xx
