Sweet Tilda


I made this card yesterday following the wonderful (but challenging) sketch by the fabulously talented Mina over on the Just Magnolia Challenge blog this week.  I didnt mean it to turn out so bright in the candy/pastel colours, but it just ended up that way. :) Very girly huh?



I hand stitched the stripey panels, used HOTP papers, MS doily punch, promarkers, and flowers from WOC.

I am entering this card in the below competitions this week:

Just Magnolia - Fab Sketch
Cute Card Thursday - Hearts and Flowers
PaperPlay Challenges - Hearts and Flowers but not Valentine
The Stamp Man - Hearts
The Crafty Pad - Hearts
Paper Sundaes - 2 Toppings - Flowers and Pink

Thanks so much for looking, have a really great week, and good luck to everyone in these challenges.

  2. Girly is not "Huh", girly is pretty! I really like the card, there are sooo many lovely details to discover - my favorite is the ribbon, that is pulled through the eyelets. Or the swirl? Or the rhinestones? Or the colouring? Or....

  9. Oh wow Alison, beautifull card. love how you have laced the ribbon. I have just come back from Hobbycraft and I very nearly brought that MS lace punch, but it was £17.99 and I think I can get it cheaper on line so resisted the temptation :) That is one awsome sketch and you have done a lovelly job with it. Off now to do some stuff with circles hehe xx
