OMG It's taken me since the 3rd of March to finish this card...


... is that a world record???? LOL
I started on the 3rd, I stamped & colored the background & Tilda & added litter then disaster struck I dropped Tilda & all the glitter came off :( so I re-stamped & coloered Tilda & glittered her wings & left her to dry, then everyday I've gotten her out but couldn't think of a way to put the card together, until today when it came together like this!!!

The card stock is from the Paper Mill, paper DCWV, Nesties label 4, Butterfly Background & Tilda by Magnolia stamped in Memento & colored with Pro Markers, X-Cut flower punch, Nellie Snellen branch punch, Dovecraft greetings, plain & scalloped circle nesties & oodles of diamond stickles!!!

I REALLY like the way this card has turned out (even if I do say so myself!!!)
I may even struggle to give her away, acutally I don't know anyone with a birthday soon so phew she can stay for a while!!!

Pro Markers used: Tilda Skin Ivory & Dusky Pink, Hair Primrose, Hat, Shirt & Boots Pink Carnation, Jeans Meadow Green, Background, grass Meadow Green & Leaf Green, Sky Pastel Blue, Daisies Rose Pink & Lemon, Sun Lemon.
