Put Your Best Foot Forward!



Hi! I have made this card for a few different challenges.  I have colored my Magnolia stamp with Prismacolor pencils and used Distress Inks in walnut stain and antique linen around the edges of the image and the edges of the patterned papers.  I used a Cheery Lynn die for the flourish, an Whimsy die for the corner piece, Doohickey dies for the tags and paper lace, and Spellbinders for the ovals.


I used my Cricut for the butterfly and also the flowers.  The sentiment stamps are from Close To My Heart and Scrappy Cat Studios.  The patterned paper is by My Minds Eye.  I then finished it off with stitching, ribbon, a button, twine, a brad, stickles, and pearls.  Thanks for stopping by!  : )

    Tilda's dress looks like velvet. You did another card that shows Tilda in dark tuquoise which also looks like velvet. Outstanding to get that look which makes you "feel" it just by looking. Awesome cards on your blog. I started with your most recent and move gotten back to oct. '12. No, I am not stalking you. hahahhaa.
