Nothing too fussy today, just a fairly straightforward Tilda card. I had started to make this for last week's Just Magnolia challenge and then couldn't get the card finished in time. Never mind, this week's challenge is Anything Goes so I can still use it!
I think this is such a cute Tilda and she's lovely to colour - I used peachy pink Copics and Diamond Stickles on her dress and bows. The image has been lightly edged with Antique Linen distress ink and put on a circle of Bazzill which I then stuck to a doily from Joanna Sheen.
I used the last of the peachy lace (still can't remember where I got this!) to wrap round two layers of double-sided October Afternoon paper. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.
I made the flowers from Prima petals which I layered up; I sewed a button in the centre and sprayed the whole thing with Glimmer Mist.
I'm entering this card in the Just Magnolia Challenge (Anything Goes + optional glitter) and the Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge (Buttons and Bling).
Before I go, could I ask you to hop over and see my friend Elise. She's a lovely lady who makes the most delicious cards and she's battling the Big C. She has a four year old son and it's so unfair that she has to go through this when she should be enjoying being a mum. Elise has had chemo and is going into hospital for surgery on Wednesday 9th March. If you get a spare minute, could you hop over to her blog, Paper Love Affair and send her a cyber hug. I know she'll appreciate it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs
