Today has been such a great day. I've accomplished a lot (besides burning my dinner because I was on the computer and forgot about it!). I finished up the inside of a card I had previous made to enter for a Guest DT call. Once I got that done I went to find some challenges I might partake of.
Over at Just Magnolia they are asking for birthday; and Cute Card Thursday who are looking for Ribbon. Well, we all need birthday cards made and ready to go, right? So I started thinking....hmmmmmm. Then I checked out Magnolia Down Under and they've had an Easel Card challenge all week. It has already expired...here I go again! I was late for their Easter Basket Challenge. I've got to pull myself together!! BUT, Easel cards are just so easy and quick to make, so I am happy to have this card finished in one day! Mission accomplished, wooohooooo!
So here's what I came up with...
I was going to use a different image, when I spotted this poor folorn Tilda, whom I had never even inked! Yikes!! I had bought the dp a long, long time ago, so I decided that I could make it a birthday card.
Tilda up close and personal...
Here's what I used in making my card...
Stamps - Tilda With Birdcage #351
Cardstock - Cryogen White, Swiss Dot, SU Soft Sky and Taken With Teal, brown generic
DP - S.E.I. Lovebirds
Sentiment - computer generated
Flowers - stash
Punches - MS Flourish, Nestabilities Oval and Scalloped, Fancy Labels
Charm - Hobby Lobby
Ribbon - No Time To Stamp
Crystals - Hobby Lobby
Dimensionals - SU
Copic Markers and ABS
Here's a side view of my Easel Card...
A closer view of the flowers...
The bow and charm - a little cupcake to honor the birthday person...no calories!
Here's the sentiment...
Here are the copics I used. I colored the case with Gold Spica pen...
Thanks you for visiting my blog. Your comments really encourage me to press on...
Oh Barb, your card is so precious! I love the edges of your card, the way you did the sentiment on the inside to act as the "stopper" and how you so beautifully colored Tilda! Isn't she cute holding that bird cage? Your DPs are perfect fof this and I love to make easel cards also. Such a nice dimension. Hugs,Cami

I love this card Barb. The blue and the brown that you used are the perfect shades to go together. It's very soft. I love how you have coloured her dress and the highlights in her hair. The background is such a good match.

Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteBarb, you have done it once again. What a wonderfully gorgeous card. And the image I have got to have it. What is the name of the punch that you used on the side of the card. This is the reason I like to visit you. I always find something else that I have got to have. Love ya...

What a sweet card. Love how you colored Tilda. The flowers and bow and cupcake just add so much.
ReplyDeleteGosh, am I behind in my blogging or what!!! This is gorgeous! I love the flowers and look at that beautiful silk ribbon! Tilda is goregous, and you know I've got the same Tilda that I have never inked as well! I guess I'll have to rectify that, thanks to your fabulous inspiration!

ReplyDeleteHi Barb, Catching up after a quick weeks trip to mom's in TX. I love this Tilda with the birdcage. You really make spectacular cards. This one is so soft and the shape of the card stock matting behind her is a great idea. Thanks for sharing all your great creations. Love, Martha
