Secret Tilda

Good Evening To All....First off let me start by saying thank you to all who commented. It was a real confidence booster!


So yesterday I saw a challenge and I jumped for it. I was always the one who was over prepared in school and with this I felt so not prepared. I literally did it and was racing the clock with a few minutes to spare before the challenge closed. I cannot stress how new I am to blogging and to card making. I love coloring and crafts, always have. Hopefully I will get a routine down as far as challenges and dates so that I can be prepared. I have a calendar that I plan on filling out (like I said over prepared).


Well here she is... she is the Secret Tilda from the 2010 Merry Christmas Collection. I know it is not Christmas but she was good for what I needed. I used regular cardstock, DCWV citrus cardstock and Basic Grey cardstock called Ambrosia. The embellishments are really nothing too much ribbon from Reasonable Ribbon called Penelope. I got the crazy idea to weave some paper through some of it. Turned out awesome I think. Next I am not big with using sentiments which I obviously need to get use to. I used my cricut to cut out a tag and used some distess ink. Then I used some leftover thread from a cross stitch I did a few years ago and tied it to the lace.

Of course she was colored with copics. I will be practicing with distress inks really soon.

Challenges she is going to be in

I am not 100% about her because I had short time to really think and work on her, but I cannot wait until tomorrow. I have a wonderful card that I am crazy about. Can't wait to post it for everyone to see.
Goodnight crafters.
