I chose to use Little Cute Tilda for my card. I thought she was a perfect choice for buttons and bows.

I went for a CAS layout and a big bow that I made using Becca’s Peg Bow Maker, a little lace and these adorable little heart buttons from Oriental Trading and lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used Spellbinders Floral Ovals and Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large. The sentiment is stamped with Ranger Archival Ink - Magenta Hue using Tim Holtz Simple Sayings.

It’s all about the hair

Today I would like to show you a card I made using Aleisha. I just love coloring images with lots of long flowing hair. She is a perfect candidate.

001

I had a great time coloring this image.

I did step a little outside of my comfort zone for this one adding some BV20 for shading of the skin. I'm glad I did, I really like how it adds that translucent depth to the shadows. You should give it a try, I really think you will like it!

This is a pretty CAS card but the image is so gorgeous that I just didn't want to cover it up with a lot of embellishments. I added some bling and a couple little hearts and called it done.

For my card I used Show the Way Tilda from the Winter Wonderland ‘13 collection. Flowers and pearl string are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The little berries are from a flower arrangement at Michael’s. Mesh also purchased from Michael’s. It’s a shame that the camera did not pick up all of the sparkles in the mesh but there are a lot.
