Cross-Stitch Tilda Wishes Happiness

I'm so glad that I have several cards already made up and ready to go. Tonight I'm going out with the gals in my Bible Study group for a girls night out. We are going to celebrate two birthdays. I didn't need to be frantic about getting something special put together. Yeah!

Here is a new card I just finished up today. Cross Stitch Tilda is an image that came from my friend Pam and I was really wanting to use this pretty paper from CLOUD9DESIGN called Cream Buds. It's so pretty. I used the sketch from Friday Sketcher's Challenge this week and it's a great sketch to work with.



I love the challenge of trying to get the lights and shadows just right, but it is a challenge! Here is my Tilda close-up...



Here is the inside of the card...I just have to finish the inside of my cards now or the card doesn't seem finished...



There is no end of learning more about creativity with these dear images...I'm hopelessly obsessed with these little children and it ties into my fostering of little children so well.

Thanks for dropping in and enjoying my creations...

    She is lovely and I think you have the highlights on her skirt absolutely perfect. I love her red shoes. I have two pairs of red shoes. Someone told me the Pope wears red shoes. I am in good company...lol.

    Wow amazing card again! Wish I lived beside you to take a few coloring tips!! That's ok. I'll wait until my Copics course. I get to go August 15th and I can't WAIT!!! It's one thing to TAKE the course and another thing to APPLY what you've learned so we'll see what happens. Just love how you colored her! wow!
