Tilda and wire

I haven't done a Sketch Saturday challenge before, so this is the week to start!!! I love the sketch and have had a lovely time creating this card (no children/husband/phone interruptions - bliss!!)






This has to be one of my favourite Tildas at the moment - I adore her little pigtails and dungarees. I have coloured her using my aqua promarkers and then matted her onto brown cardstock. The dp is Nostalgic Warn from Papermainia and brown cardstock. The green is from my scraps tray, and I used lace rather than scalloped paper. I went a bit mad with the faux stitching and did it all by hand rather than using my cutterbee - thats probably why there is a single stitch the same length! I finished it off with some Prima flowers and copper wire.
