I have used some images given to me by Vicky.
This is Dala Tilda - I wasn't sure about her to start with - I think I expect Tilda to have long hair!! However having coloured her I think she's lovely.
I have never mounted an image onto an aperature before - but have seen it done lots, particularly with Tilda so I thought I'd have a go.
Tilda is sat on the edge of the circle and I used foam pads to lift her off the background.
The green backing is from Papermania's Colossal pack and the flowered papers from DCWV's Pocketful of Posies matt stack.
Having done it I'm not sure the 2 floral papers work together, but I'm pleased with the overall effect.
I went well out of my comfort zone for this one and used PINK! I have adapted an Ismaki sketch slightly.
This is Tilda in a heart dress - the overskirt is coloured a very pale pink.
I mounted her onto pastel pink cardstock and then pink daisy paper. I used the same pink cardstock for the matting panel and placed all of it on Papermania Colossal paper.
The fringing is from a ribbon I got in a swap - I tried to be clever and stick it with DST - spent about 20 minutes peeling all the fronds off the DST!!!
The flower and button were also freebies.
The pink panel looked a bit lonely so I added 3 pink gems (Papermania).
I can't believe how many shades of pink I have used and yet there doesn't seem to be any clashing - phew!
Just a note on my last posting - the brown ribbon has been banished to the box.
Hubby thinks the pussy cat in the black bra is a bit saucy and suggestive - not sure which planet he's on!!

Cathy, your cards are fantastic! We all lose our mojos at times but I think following sketches is a brilliant idea and it's really worked for you!

Glad you like the images xx
Ah yes I see you are getting it back...sometimes you just need a break from it and come back fresh. I especially like the composition with the round "window" seat.
Men think anything involving underwear is suggestive...they can't help it; its anthropological :)
You most certainly have got it back!! Well done. Such cute cards. xx
Very cool- Love them- I love how you made the circle card- and below- the faux stitchiong one
Hi Cathy, thanks for your lovely comments on my blog, These two cards are great,I love the way you have dala Tilda sitting in the apperture. Hae a go at ATC I wasn't very keen at first, found a small area to fill quite daunting, but I am enjoying it now. You can always use your ATC's as toppers once you have entered them fo the challenge
Have a good weekend
Hugs Jacqui xxx
