TILDA WITH FANTASY FLOWERS




A Big Hello and a huge thank you to my followers.
Wow, my first card was amongst the winners for Tilda's Town and Marvelous Magnolia challenges.  I'm thrilled to bits!
 

For this weeks card I've used Tilda with Fantasy Flowers.
I spent a whole week colouring and re-colouring this image. It was so difficult.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't colour the hair. I suppose it's something that comes with practice. This image was actually the best of about twenty...no kidding...so I used it on the card. I am on a learning curve. Lol.
 
 
The papers are Maja Sofiero, inked and stitched. there is a little shabby white Frontage embossed on Tilda's flowers. I also used a square doily and a doily die from Marianne. The large butterfly and the leaves have been cut with Doohickey dies and the small butterfly, a JoyCraft die. Both butterflies are Glamour Dusted and decorated with pearls.
 
The blue flowers are tulips from Wild Orchid Crafts. They were white. I painted them with Shaded Lilac Ink and opened up the petals a bit.
 Hey presto....fantasy flowers!

The weather is so dark, rainy, cold and depressing. It's almost impossible to take a good picture. Looking forward to Spring and sunshine.
