Tilda 2

Little Miss Tilda "SITTING SO PRETTY"

My new favorite markers seem to be my Copics. They have been a challenge for me to master, and I am no where near perfection, but after a few more tries here's my second Tilda. This pretty little girl has a spring feel to her.

Again I used 6x6 Bazzil cardstock for my basic card. Matting with a turquoise cardstock , I used my corner rounder on all papers. I like the way it gives a gentler line to my basic card.
The specialty paper is DCWV: Nanas Nursery. This decorator paper has embossing and glitter highlighting the raised dots. I used my Nestabilities oval scalloped cutter to back Tilda. I embossed these as well. Chatter Box chalk highlights the edges of the white ovals
adding dimension and pick up colors from the papers. Satin and organza ribbon has gold threads running through, adding a bit of sparkle. I made the flowers from Prima , adding Chatter Box chalk for interest. Skittles are the flower centers.

See Tilda's tiny visitor? This little bird is sitting in a basket of Spring Flower Soft raised on a pop dot to give interest.

Inside Tildas card is the sentiment from Stampin UP "A little something for someone special". On the right just a touch of the decorator paper and plenty of room for pesonalization.

Isnt this Tilda "something special"?

MEET TILDA

Welcome Tilda of Magnolia
I have decided to try my hand at card making. After weeks of reading, studying and lots and lots of questions I have finished my very first card. This is my first Tilda greeting card.

Tilda "To Someone Special"

Dimensions of 6x6 gave me plenty of room to play. I started with my favorite Bazzil cardstock, I added white cardstock, border punched with Fiskers. I topped that with more Cuttlebug embossed blue cardstock. I don't know if you can see the fine detail of the tiny raised areas of the embossing. On top of that, using my corner rounder, I placed textured Bazzil pink, embelished with striped spring ribbon. Tilda is colored with Copic markers. To add dimension I used Stickles on her bow and top. Nestabilities scolloped die cutter were used for the sentiment. The words are from Stampn Up. This is raised for dimension with popdots. I made the flower embelishment from Cricut Storybook Cartridge leaves, Prima flowers and silk ribbon. The tiny silk ribbon rose with green silk ribbon leaves I placed in the middle. The Prima flowers are hilighted with Chatter Box chalks.

I insist that the inside of my cards be as beautiful as the outside so I naturally continued the theme. Jolee flowers and sentiment finished off this Tilda very nicely...dont you agree?

I want to extend a hearfelt thank you to all my friends at Magnolia-licious, CuttersCreek, Stamping Scrapping and Scrapbooking Classes...for helping me get started in the wonderful world of paper crafting.
