Tilda & Co challenge card

The Tilda and Co challenge this week is:




For this week's challenge it's a bit of a double up, I Would like to see you use Eyelets if possible ( if you do not own them, then you can leave that part out or use brads)Along with anything Natural, Could be fibres, Leaves, Straw, Twigs, Papers etc as long as it is Natural with Eyelets ( if you have them )

I don't own eyelets (yet) so I have used brads for that part of the challenge.

I have used mid brown mulberry paper which I have torn to fit on the card. Tilda is watercoloured, and I chose complementary colours for her top and hair.

The matting and layering papers are all from Papermania's earth tones pack. I added a cream and a green skeleton leaf to add to the natural theme. Four mid brown brads (papermania) are used to fix Tilda to the papers.
The faux stitching is done using a brown marker - its not the best I can do but I've lost my paper piercing tool so I had to do it with a needle - more realistic I suppose!!
I have modified the sketch from this week's My Paperworld Challenge for the layout.


I am pleased with the overall effect, although there is one error due to a sneaky sneeze.
