You are so special...



I needed to have a card ready to send to someone who is special in my life. I looked online to find a sketch and found one, but changed it to suit my dies. Here I have used #244 TILDA WITH ARMFUL OF TULIPS. She is not currently available from Diana at the Magnolia-licious store but I'm sure if you want her Diana can get her in for you.

Here is the front of my card...


I gave Tilda some pretty Auburn colored hair...


Here is an "artsy" view of my card...

  4. This is so beautiful and elegant, Barb! I love this Tilda and bought her the other day partly because she is so beautiful and the stamp is so versatile and partly because I have friends who are not very fond of my mouthless kiddos and in this one the lack of mouth is less evident:)
    Love the inside too. Very beautiful,refreshing and springtime!
    Hugs, Iulia

  20. Hi Barb!
    Good to see you can get some crafting in. Just looked at the photos of the children. They re so beautiful.
    so is your card. The coloring is so wonderful. I love the shading and the creases on her dress. I have been trying to do that but without much sucess. But they say practice makes perfect. I love the frame around her and her hair is a gorgeous color.

  31. Hi Barb...it's been such a long time since I've had time to visit and take a peek at what's been happening down there in Texas, y'all! Looks like the children are keeping you busy, busy, busy! The latest photos are delightful!! And so is this card! I didn't order this Tilda...but, dang, after seeing your little masterpiece here, I just might have to!!
