Tilda in the Garden

Hi there!

I hope you are all keeping well.  Unfortunately I have my middle son, Joel, home sick with a fever and vomiting and I've woken up with a sore throat.  And, it's Josh's Gr.6 Graduation this afternoon - geez, I hope we all start feeling better quickly!!

I managed to make this card on Friday when I had Jacob home sick with what Joel now has!  He slept all day so I was able to take advantage of some crafting time!

I love this sweet Tilda with her bike from last years summer collection.  I coloured Tilda with my distress inks and I've paired her up with the beautiful Magnolia tree which is coloured using copics.  I have used MME 'Pretty Please' papers.  I've used the MS picket fence punch to create the feel of a garden and finished off with bling around the Magnolia tree.

I will enter this card into the following challenges:-

Just Magnolia - In the Garden

Stamp Something - Summer

Friday Sketchers - Sketch by Carole

Thanks for your visit today - I hope I will get some time to blog hop a little later and catch up with everyones creations.  I will have some photos to share with you tomorrow of Josh's Graduation!  Have a wonderful day!

A Spring Tilda!

Good Morning all!

Thanks for all your well wishes - I'm feeling much better and got a chance to craft yesterday after all!

I have this new sweet Spring Tilda to show you today.  I received this beautiful image from my sweet friend, Linda, thanks so much!!  She is coloured with my copics and trimmed out.  I made Tilda a red-head for the first time - do you like her with auburn hair?  I'm quite pleased with it!  The paper is from the gorgeous new BG Green At Heart pad and I followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers this week.  The cherry blossom flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and edged with lots of lovely sparkly Stickles!  I punched out branches using the MS punch and machine stitched around the edges of the card and panels.  The ribbon is from stash and I added a sweet butterfly embellishment that I picked up in the Dollar Store - adds more of a 'spring' touch to the card don't you think?!  I used Flower Soft for the flowers in Tilda's basket.

I spritzed the card with Tattered Angels Pearl mist so apologies for how the camera has picked it up in the photo!  All the panels are distressed with my Tim Hotlz distressing tool.

I've managed to get this card into quite a few challenges:

Friday Sketchers - Sketch by Beatrix

Quixotic Challenges - Joys of Spring

Totally Papercrafts - Distressing

Stamp Something - Stitch Something

The Stamp Shoppe - Pastels/Spring

Just Magnolia - Punch it Out!

Thanks so much for stopping by today - I hope you all have a wonderful start to the week!  I appreciate all the comments you leave - they bring a ray of sunshine to my day!

Hugs,
