Becca's Crafty Corner: Tilda in the Garden

This is my last week as a Guest Designer for Basic Grey Challenges. I have had such a blast pulling out my Basic Grey papers and working with them, I am super sad to see the term end, :( But, I will make sure to enter their challenges, just for the excuse of using my Basic Grey papers, they are so gorgeous!!!! So, the challenge for this week is to Mix and Match. This could be mixing paper collections, mixing papers and buttons, gems, etc. I chose to mix paper collections on my card. I used some Offbeat, some June Bug, and some Ambrosia papers all together. I love how the colors combined to make this card. So much fun.

I paired up my papers with two Magnolia Stamps, Tilda in the garden and Butterfly Background. These images go together so well, I just love how it came out. I used a couple of Magnolia Doohickey dies on this card also. I used the Heart Fence to make a small border accent for my image, which I distressed with Vintage Photo and added some Gold Pearl Pen to the top. I also used my Vintage Tag die to cut out the sentiment spot, then stamped Happy Birthday from the Magnolia So Special collection. I also distressed this tag with Vintage Photo and added a Marigold Silk Ribbon to the top. I used my Martha Stewart Monarch Punch to punch out the butterflies with June Bug paper to add to the card, which were finished off with the Gold Pearl Pen in the center.

I colored my image with copics and cut her out with Nesties:

Skin - E000, E00, E11, R32

Hair - E25, E31, E50

Jumper - YR24, YR23, YR20. YR000

Socks - C00, C1

Shoes - E25, E31, E50

Flowers - YR18, YR12, Y15

Grass - G20, G24, YG63, G82

Sky - B000, B91

Sun - Y15, Y13, Y11

Butterfly - E25, BG72, BG70

Of course, I added some Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers to my card. I used Green and Orange 25mm Roses, Orange two-toned Cherry Blossoms, Marigold 15mm Roses, and Yellow 4mm roses. I just placed an order for some of the Wild Orchid newer flowers, and I cannot wait til they get here! I am so excited to starting incorporating them into my cards! YIPPPPEEE

I finished off the inside of the card simply with more of the June Bug paper and a sentiment spot I cut out with my Nesties. Very simple!

Thank you so much to the Basic Grey Challenge Team for having me as your Guest Designer for the past two challenges. I have had so much fun working with you and pulling out my Basic Grey papers.
