Long Time, No Tilda

Hi folks,

back today with the last of my Easter/Spring cards. This one was for my youngest niece. I know - bad Auntie - it SHOULD be arriving tomorrow - way after Easter. That's why I'm calling these my Spring cards. Not Easter cards.

It's been a long time since I coloured up one of my Tilda images so I figured I would use this one as it kind of looks like my niece.

card details:

• finished size: 5 x 5 inches, white card stock base. CTMH (can't remember if it is Blush or Baby Pink) card stock mat 
• patterned paper: My Mind's Eye "Dolled Up"
• stamped image: Tilda with newly hatched chick from the 2010 Magnolia Hoppy Easter collection, coloured with Copic Markers (E000, E00, E01, E93, E31, E33, E35, E37, E27, Y06, Y08, YR04, RV00, RV11,  RV13, RV23, BG32, BG34,  BG0000, BG000)
• sentiment: Verve "Egg-stra Special", stamped in CTMH Juniper
• Spellbinders Petite Ovals
• EK Success Diamond Lace Border Punch
• CTMH Hollyhock buttons
• ivory seam binding
• Layout: Pink Gem #75

additional challenges for this card:

• Magnolia-licious: Buttons, Bows or Beads
• Oldie but Goodie - make it girly (my buttons, seam binding and stamped image are all WELL over 6 months old)
• Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes
• Clear it out: Anything goes + 2 or more buttons
• Love to Scrap #4: Cut it out (die cuts and/or punches - I used both!)
• Incy Wincy Designs: Fur or Feathers (I'm going the feathers route with the little chick)
• Cupcake Craft 238: Cute and Cuddly

As always, thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed your visit and come back again soon!

A Tilda Just Because

Hi folks,

well, I found my way back into the craft room this morning and finished off this card I had started at the crop last Saturday.

I had planned to give this to a friend for her birthday (with a different sentiment) but changed my mind when I saw the text on the newspaper held by Tilda. It's the "Love News" so I'll be keeping this one to give to my sweetie sometime "just because".

card details:

• finished size: 6x6 inches
• image: Love News Tilda from Magnolia Stamps (which I do believe I may have won from Tickled Pink Stamps some time ago but am just now getting around to inking up for the first time!), coloured with Copic Markers (skin: E000, E00, E01, E93; hair: E50, E55, E53, E42; pants: BG13, BG11, BG10; shirt: R22, R21, R20; Bows: R22; shoes: E39, E37, E35, E34, E33, E31; Newspaper: E70, E40, R24, E71)
• sentiment: CTMH "Say It In Style"
• patterned papers: Basic Grey Hopscotch, edges distressed with CTMH Juniper Ink
• cardstock: CTMH Juniper
• Layout: The Sugar Bowl Sketch #59. I didn't use a Sugar Nellie image on the card so this one isn't eligible for the prize draw but I liked the sketch.

additional challenges for this card:

• Scrap-Creations: Circles
• Crafty Creations: Anything Goes

Hope you are all having a lovely day!
