FAREWELL TILDA – Hope to see you soon again!

Hello everybody!

At the moment, I´m away on holidays but if you are reading this post, it means I managed to program blogspot to publish my card correctly :-) yay :-)

My Jolly Roger Tilda card was among the Top 3 at 7 Kids College fund challenge blog! Yay! How cool is that? And do you know what is even cooler than that? I was picked by the 7kids college team to be their very first Guest DT for the challenge number 3! This is my lucky month!

I’m so happy and honored to participate and be among the very talented 7 kids college DT.

The recipe of the challenge is – 2 DPs, 3 flowers and 1 something sparkly and of course a stamped image carried by 7 KIDS.

Tilda With Peony - Warm wishes!

Hello dear friends!
It’s been quite a long time since I posted a card on my blog. I’ve been having some problems with my right wrist and the pain won’t allow me to color and scrap for a very long time. It’s getting a bit better now and hopefully all the pain will be gone very soon.
I couldn’t resist and color one of my fav Tildas - Tilda with Peony. It took me several days to make my card and I suffered quite a lot due to my painful wrist. As always - I did the stitching by hand and all the butterflies were first stamped and then cut out – so quite a challenge with all the pain. Nevertheless I quite like the result given all the wrist problems. I hope you like my card too!

I’m entering my card to the following challenges:
SimonSays Stamp Challenge –Dotty

All the paper roses were originally white. I sprayed them with Glimmer mist – Pearl (the white roses) and S.W.A.K (the pink ones). What a pity you can’t see all the shimmer!
I added some glitter to Tilda’s peony too using Copic Spica pen (02 pink).
