Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of crafty blogland. I reckon many of you will be worn out with your toils at the NEC (can you sense the envy - all those goodies 350 miles away!!!). My DIL, Sarah, tells me that she has bought me some Christmas Tildas - she's a good girl.
This card was made for Cupcake Crafts challenge where they provided a sketch to follow. I delved into the new paper stocks and came up with some from the Designer Series - "Perfect Plum" by Stampin Up. I thought they would suit the layout. The image is of course Magnolia's "Rainy Day Tilda" coloured in using my Copic Ciaos which are now fast running dry. I am waiting for an order of refill inks to arrive so until they do I may be limited in my colour choices. The flowers I made by cutting out petals from the papers with various sizes of punches and using a brad in the middle to hold them together. The brads and ribbon are from Stampin Up (handy having a DIL who is a demostrator) and the fronds and sentiment are from my stash.
If you have time I would love it if you left a comment. I value your opinions and it's such a shame not to leave a record of your visit here.
Hugs,
Fiona x

Morning MIL, Fab card as usual, love that purple paper and that Tilda is one of my faves. Love the flower arrangement to.
ReplyDeleteI have only just got out of bed, soooo tired from a second day of trawling the NEC craft show with a pal yesterday, we got to do some make and takes and got a couple of freebies to, saw a few more blogging Pals and picked up a couple more bits and bobs.
I will get your Tilda in the post tomorrow, speak to you tonight.
