Blue pearl and sandstone Tilda

The girls got up at 5.45am this morning ... so I had to get up!! It did mean that there was a window of opportunity for crafting ... so I combined the Papertake Weekly sketch, with Passion for Promarkers blue pearl and sandstone challenge, and Magnolia Down Under's recipe (1 flower, 2 ribbons, 3 brads and 4 papers). I didn't include my cardstock in the papers, hope thats not cheating!
Tilda is coloured in promarkers and then matted onto blue cardstock. I distressed the papers and cardstock and faux stitched them. I added some blue organza and gold organza ribbon, and a flower by Prima (not punched shock horror!!).
Got a busy day ahead ... off to a play barn this afternoon, then the after school children arrive and then there's the ironing to do!! Now I am going to go and clean all the outdoor toys as its not raining!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Magnolia Autumn stamp club 2009; Papermania sentiment
Colouring Media: promarkers
Papers: Basic Grey Wisteria
Embellishments: Prima flower, brads and ribbon from stash
