My Paperworld challenge

I love this sketch. I have had a couple of tries at it.


This is my favourite. I love this Tilda, and have resisted the temptation to add plasters to her knees!! (yes I have done a few with plasters and she does look cute!)










I have matted her onto orange and cerise cardstock and then onto DCVW's Pocketful of Posies. The flowers are diecuts in cersie and yellow.

Cerise (in fact any shade of pink) and orange are not colours I tend to go for.

I love this card - really bold and colourful.







This is my first go at the challenge and colourwise more within my comfort zone!!!
The stamp is a Penny Black from their transparents range. The paper is a mix of the English Co and Papermania, and the die cut flowers are homemade.

Its a more subtle card, but I do like the result.


What do you think?

The cat is definitely more my comfort zone in terms of colors to, but the Tilda is absolutely gorgeous as well.
