Tilda Blowing Hearts

I have another card to show you, this one uses Tilda Blowing Hearts from the With Love ‘13 collection.

This card is currently for sale in my Etsy shop – > HERE if interested.

I had a great time with this, I love it when a card comes together so easily. The papers are perfect. They are MME Lost and Found 3 – Ruby. I also used Sparkle Mesh Ribbon – Red on top of the paper. I love the fact that this has a pretty weave, is sparkly, and you can put it over paper and you can still see the color of the paper beneath it. I added dimension by using putting my red mat and Tilda on pop dots. The red ribbon bow I made using Becca’s Peg Bow Maker using ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The flower are from Wild Orchid and I colored one with Copics to match the grey in the paper.

For a friend

Wow, I can’t believe it, three posts in two days! This will be my last this weekend but I am off work for almost a week starting Thursday and I am hoping to spend most of that time, except for eating and sleeping, in my craft room.

This project is for a friend whose birthday is tomorrow. I have had this image, Elven Hestia from Make it Crafty, for awhile and just haven’t colored her until today. I had a great time but it sure did take a long time!

I took a step out of my comfort zone for this one, this is the first time I have colored an image with an unnatural hair color but I like it. I used N6 in the shadows and then colored over it with BG07 to give it some depth. I like the way it turned out.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

• Challenges 4 Everybody – anything goes
• Great Impressions – anything goes
• Glitter n Sparkle – bingo – die cuts, digi, gems
• Sketch and Stash – sketch

Thanks for stopping by and visiting, happy holidays.
