This card has sold already!! Just three days after I made it! Let me explain how I came up with this sketch. In my hall way hangs a portrait of my hubby and I with the three kids. The larger photo at the top is of the five of us. Underneath is one small photo of each of the kids. I must walk past that photo a kazillion times a day and it just struck me that I could really use that layout on a card. Once again I've used this darling Lying Tilda.
So here is my card...
I had tons of fun working on this card too! I love this image of Tilda. She is #264 LYING TILDA. Isn't she just adorable? I love the way she can be used to come off a card and gives so much interest to the card. Then below her I have used some Mini images. #3021 MINI TILDA WITH PONY TAIL, #3280 MINI TILDA WITH STRIPED TIGHTS AND #3321 MINI DREAMY TILDA. All of these images are available from Diana at Magnolia-licious
Here is a close up of Lying Tilda so you can see how I colored her clothing. I'm learning so much about coloring the pleats and folds. Practice makes perfect they say!
Here is a closer view of my flower arrangement in the corner. I tucked in a Melissa Frances Corner adornment just under the flowers to kind of finish every thing off.
I didn't take individual pictures of the Mini Tilda's because you can enlarge any of my photos and see them up close and personal if you'd like. So here's a picture of the three of them together...
On the inside of the card I used a computer generated sentiment which reads "Just having one of those 'thinking of you' days". Then I stamped off Lying Tilda again and popped her into the corner of the notation panel. A little Sizzix corner die completes the rather simple inside.
Well that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and taking time out of your busy day to visit me.
Hugs,
Barb
