Anyway, on to my card for today. I managed to make something for this week's Just Magnolia challenge - just my sort of theme - Pastels! I'm not totally thrilled with the way it's turned out, but I was just happy to get some crafting time earlier this week, as it's been in short supply lately.
I wish I could remember who makes this paper - it could be Melissa Frances - but I really like the soft blue and green shades. In fact I kept the layout fairly simple as I didn't want to cover it up too much! I coloured Tilda with Copics and cut her out with an oval Nestie and I then stuck her on top of a scalloped oval cut from Coredinations Whitewash card. Tilda's balloon has had a coat of Glossy Accents to make it nice and shiny. I used some tulle, a ribbon bow and some roses in the top left hand corner and added the same soft green roses from Wild Orchid Crafts underneath Tilda's feet. Finally I put a Sizzix rub on message in the bottom left corner.
I'm off to get a nice hot bath now! What bliss!
Hope to see you again before the end of the week if I can finish the two works in progress I've got on the go!
Hugs

Hi Tracey
Hope you enjoyed that bath LOL!!!
We were without hot water and a bathroom for a couple of weeks. It makes you appreciate what we take for granted doesn't it!
As a child we only had a coal fire and would wake up in the morning to ice "inside" the windows. Brrrr!!!
Love your sweet card and yes those papers are gorgeous. Beautiful colours.
Love Jules xx
Hello Lovely. You had no heating! Eeeurgh, not good, glad you're all toasty again.
This is a perfectly pretty card and very you. I love the soft colours and little details, like the shiny ballon and how you've placed the image to highlight the fabby paper.
Good luck with the other two projects. xxx
This is just gorgeous Tracey. Love those papers and Tilda is beautifully coloured. Enjoy the rest of your crafting!
