A couple of cards

After spending the day on a first aid course yesterday I spent the evening colouring images, and I made the cards up this morning.

My first card uses the Friday Sketcher sketch, and the My favourite things theme from Just magnolia.
I got this Tilda with a Simon Says win, so I haven't had her very long, but she shows my favourite things .. surprises (nice ones!!) and presents :)  I coloured her using my distress inks and used my nesties to layer her.  The dp is Eskimo Kisses, not sure if I like this pad .. still got an almost full one after 2 Christmases!!  I added some gingham ribbon and a sentiment.

I have also been playing with my Simply Sassy  Sugar Nellie stamps ...

I adore Hippy Chick, she looks so serene, and is a dream to colour.  As my distress inks were out I decided to colour her using them.  I have kept the layout simple, using some BG Marjoliane and an embossed panel (Moroccan screen) and just a little ribbon and some teeny pearls.  I am going to enter this into the Simply Sassy GDT call.
