Red and Green Tilda

I have combined this week's Cute Card Thursday (red and green) with the Friday Sketcher. I found this sketch a bit of a challenge, piecing together all the layering.


I have rotated the sketch so the image fits better. I watercoloured the image in pencils and cut Tilda out using my new Labels nesties. The dp are Dovecraft and Papermania Christmas papers. I inked all the edges in Papermania's green ink. I added buttons and ribbons from my stash, Prima flowers and snowflake charms.

My Magnolia Stampclub arrived this morning so I have eazi mounted them and inked them up ready to play tonight when the girls have gone to bed. Hopefully the cat (now a permanent member of the household) will let me craft - she likes to chase pencils while I am colouring, bat tweezers and sit on my lap demanding to be loved- very helpful.
