Ballerina Tilda 2 drawer easel card!

Hi there!

I just wanted to share a girly project with you that I gifted my next door neighbour for her 11th birthday.  I have been wanting to try this idea for a little while now and I knew I had to use Ballerina Tilda.  I followed the basic idea for the box over at SCS here.  I customised the measurements to fit my square card.  Tilda is coloured with copics.  I threaded pink ribbon to mimic her ballet shoe ribbons and added lots of flowers, sparkle and pearls.  The paper I believe is DCWV.  The drawer handles are Tim Holtz's hitch fasteners - love these!!  I am entering this card/project into Charisma Cardz Challenge  and A Spoonfull of Sugar this week where they both have the challenge 'Anything Goes'.

Here's a close-up of the main image. 

The sentiment is from The Stamp Barn - isn't it gorgeous!



A quick update with regards to my son - he had blood work done to test for an overactive thyroid as he is currently suffering from hair loss (he is only 8).  Thankfully his blood is perfectly normal and there are no thyroid issues which is fantastic news and we're now on anti-fungal cream for his balding patches.  Hopefully that will work before it gets any worse.  Phew, it's been a rough ride for him the last little while so I really hope and pray things start settling down.  Thanks for all your concerned comments ... they really mean a lot to me.

Well, that's all for today friends.  I hope you enjoyed my very 'pink' project!  I always appreciate your visit and your comments so thank you as always!

Take care,

Princess Tilda

Hi!

I finally have a card posting for you all today.  I have made some decisions lately and now that my knee is finally allowing me to exercise again, coupled with the fine weather that has arrived, I am putting myself a priority to lose the 20lbs or so I have gained over the last year due to my inactivity.  I have been out bike riding and walking and loving it - and feeling so much more positive in myself for it too.  With that being said, I will be limiting my postings per week and will post only when I can and not feel I have to post every day.

So here is the beautiful Princess Tilda, coloured in copic glory!  I love the pretty colour combo on this card - the gorgeous pink paper is Papermania Capsule Collection (candy I won from Mandy).  Ribbon, charm and flowers are all from stash and I used the MS branch punch.  The little pearls in the corner just add a final finishing touch to the bottom corner.

I am entering this card into A Spoonfull of Sugar challenge this week 'Cute & Girly' and Cupcake Craft Challenges 'Blooming Charming!'.  Just Magnolia is also 'One for the Girls' so this card is perfect for that!

Thanks to you all for stopping by and paying me a visit.  I hope to find a little time later to blog hop and catch up on some commenting.  Please leave a comment if you have the time - I love reading them and they really do make my day!

Take care and enjoy your day whatever you're doing and wherever you are!

Hugs,

Make a wish .....

Good morning my friends!

A quick post as I need to head out to school and do milk duty!!  I coloured up this gorgeous new Tilda yesterday using some of the new copic colouring techniques I've learned.  What do you think?  I'm quite pleased with the result although I do know I need to practice more!

I've used this weeks sketch by Bev over at Just Magnolia.  Paper is from DCWV and charm, bling & ribbon are from stash.  I'm also going to enter this into Quixotic Challenges where the theme is 'How Distressing'.

That is all for now folks.  Will try and blog hop and catch up a bit later with you all!  Thanks for popping by for a visit and leaving any comments - they are always very much appreciated!

Enjoy your day!

Hugs,
