Becca's Crafty Corner: Happy Spring Tilda

One of my good friends is celebrating a birthday next week, so I wanted to make her a very special card. I wanted the colors to be bright and cheerful, to go along with this bright and cheerful image, Magnolia Happy Spring Tilda. I think she is just adorable, and love how she matched up with these papers from October Afternoon Thrift Shop.

I added lots of details to this layout sketch by Sketchy Colors. I added a paper doily that I found in my stash and tucked it behind the image. The ribbon is a red silk ribbon, and I used my Bow Easy to tie a simple bow, and added a gold/pearl button to the center. I used my Magnolia Happy Birthday stamp in the bottom corner, and added some white pearls to the corners for the finishing touch.

I stamped this cutie on Copic Xpress paper and colored her with copics.

I used my Magnolia Shooting Star Border to stamp around the image panel with Antique Linen Distress ink, and further distressed the edges with my foam blending tool.

I used my Magnolia Doohickey Doily Flower die to punch out some flowers, which I layered a Graphic 45 metal flower in between, and put a gold/pearl button in the middle. I layered a feather behind the flower, and added a couple stick pins to finish it off. I also added a bunch of Wild Orchid Flowers and Tim Holtz embellies to the corner of my card. I used two 25mm white roses which I sprayed with Patina Glimmer Mist to match the design papers, red and white 15mm roses. I used some of my Tim Holtz Film Strip, and one of the typepad charms with an "H" for my friend's name.
