Better late than never....

I found a sketch to do and did it the same day I did my last card - was so very proud of myself!!! When I went to the challenge it had closed - drats!!! mind you I had loads of fun doing it and I got to use my first ever Tilda image. (well I think it is anyway ;) )

Another case of removing myself from comfort zones, lots of different colours, shapes and elements. I think if I redid this card I wouldnt have had a white background... not sure, but I do like it :)

The flowers are fun I used a punch that actually worked on the paper well the paper let the punch work put it that way, it refuses to work on thin paper??? Black flowers went with the black stitching so I thought that would be cool. Too bold though, so I decided to add some clear flower sequins which had a hint of pink in them and top them with a bright pink jewel. I tried several times to get it photographed right but I finally settled on this one as it was the closest I could show you with.

Hang on just had a moment of "ah ha!!" Tilda is in a sitting position and she is sitting on thin air.... I wonder if I tried to add in something she can sit on - like a funky beanbag??? ummm... that would help fill some of the stark white wouldnt it??? Sorry I am typing what I am jabbering to myself - I find its best to document things because I would forget.... What do you think??? I promised myself I would do some HW after this and am determined (sigh!!!)

Let me know what you think and when I have a few spare minutes I may change it - Argh why didnt I think of this earlier!!

Have a wonderful day everyone :)

Hev, this is one very cute, cute, cute card. And girly too, so I was thinking if you might be interested in submitting it for the Dutch Dare Challenge #12 [HERE], where we have to make a card for a girl. :) I used a Magnolia print for my card too and they are very suitable for girls I think.

To me, your sitting Tilda would look better on a swing - you know, two ropes and a plank of wood :).
I think it might fill the 'white' better as you have nothing in the upper side while on the bottom right corner there's an embelishment/flower. Just my $0.02

Hi Heather - Tilda is so cute - I still must invest in her - lovely card and perhaps 'mada' has a good idea with a swing which could probably be done without touching Sweet Tilda - lovely colours, Hev.
