Happy Girls


Hi! Today is the first day of summer, so I pulled out my Tilda with kite and made a card.


I found this cute red paper by October Afternoon and thought it would make a perfect top for Tilda, so I paper pieced that.


After I colored her with prismacolor pencils, I decided it needed a bit more as there was so much white space.
I then used embossing powder and embossing ink on a stamp by K and Co for the corners.


I then found the other papers to go with it in a paper pad by Bo Bunny.  I then added the lace from Wild Orchid Crafts and some ribbon from my stash.


I added some Tim Holtz Distress ink in stained walnut and also some stitching, stickles, and Kaiser Craft pearls.  I then added a sentiment from Glitz Designs.  Thanks for stopping by!  : )
