Spring Tilda

Good morning dear friends,
I wish it was a good morning for me, I've got the dentist this morning and even though its only a check up I'm petrified, I hate going to the dentist.
Onto todays card, this is a spring tilda, I've surrounded her with spring daffs, cherry blossom & roses (yeah ok its early for roses but they match lol) I've also punched out some tiny butterflies and dotted some pearls about, the paper is from that gorgeous Botanical pad which is quickly dissapearing (I love it) and Bazzil cardstock. I've used dies for the corner (parisian accents) and magnolia doily flowers, swirls & leaves. Not of course forgetting the Woodware sentiment 'You're the sunshine in my garden' Hope it helps you feel the warmth of spring to come.

Big Sigh!!! Right moving on as we must, I've made a card using this new Tilda stamp, I think she's a pretty one, I made it following a sketch and it was a good one too, it helped me to concentrate a bit.
Ok the materials used were Magnolia papers, Tilda with butterfly dress stamp, copics for colouring, I machine stitched the papers, I used mink colour ribbon & pearls I coloured the brad in pink using my copic pen and used a mixture of pink & mink colour roses all from Wildorchidcrafts.
