Sweet Tilda


Hi All, how are you? This is the first time I have entered any Magnolia Challenge, as so far I only have one Magnolia image in my collection.....however a very lovely bloggy friend of mine sent me a fab parcel of stamped images to play with......I love this little tilda, she is just sooooo sweet!!!!

I have to say, I think colouring Tilda's is an art form, I have to say, the first few I coloured up just looked really naff...so I have spend ages in blog land looking at the way you guys colour these little sweeties to make them look so gorgeous.....I have a long way to go yet, but this is a little better than my first attempts!

I have coloured her up using my copics and I have used some fab "Basic Grey - porcelain collection" papers, I have added some of the matching stickers, and lashings of stickles. The Little sentiment is a rub on from "K&Co"

This is my entry for:

Creative Cottage - Sparkle
Fab&Funky - Its all in the technique (I have used my fav techniques of distressing, faux stitching and fussy cutting)
Colour Create - choice of pastels
Just Magnolia - Sketch
Totally Papercrafts - Pink and Green
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Pink, Green and Flowers

Thanks for looking, have a great weekend!
Hugs Juls

  42. Juls, you've colored Tilda BEAUTIFULLY! What can I say? I think this card is another GORGEOUS creation! I love love love the colors you've chosen, and the bling here and there! I know you'll do wonderfully when you get more Magnolia's! I too have to try and observe how all these wonderful ladies color their Magnolia's as I know I need more practice. But for someone like you that says you had a hard time coloring her ... you've done a BRILLIANT job with her! I love it! She's PERFECT!
    Hugs,
