A tent card

I have made one of my closest friend's, and the girls' Godmother her birthday card. I thought I would do something different and have a go at the tent card on the Just Magnolia challenge. It was easier than I thought to make!

So this card covers these challenges:
Just Magnolia - tent card
Friday Sketcher - sketch (it is there honest)
Simon Says Stamp - Mothers' Day/girly (I went for girly)
One stop Craft - Sew Simple (faux stitching)
Basic Grey Challenge - photo inspiration

I used promarkers, copics and some paper piecing (this Week's ABC Challenge challenge) to colour Tilda, and cut her out. I used the Friday Sketcher sketch to decorate the inside of the card, replacing the image with dp. I faux stitched round the edge of the front of the ard and the aperature. I hung Tilda from the aperature and added flowers and pearls.
Here is the inside ... that is the sketch!!
We have friends staying so we took the girls out on their bikes nad to the park, and going to have a yummy tea and some wine tonight!!

Recipe:
Stamp(s):Magnolia Jam Tilda
Colouring Media: Promarkers and copics (available from Secret Crafter)
Papers: Basic Grey Wisteria
(available from Secret Crafter)
Embellishments: Pearls and flowers from stash
