I am flying around trying to get this card posted before we take off for the weekend! I just loved this unique Tri Shutter type card when I saw it over on Paola Levi's blog a week or so ago. On this link to Paola's she has the template for cutting and scoring this card.

I have used three precious images from Magnolia-licious and you can find them on their links: #249 TILDA WITH GIFTS, #293 TILDA WITH SMALL GIFT, and #294 BALLOON TILDA.

Here is my card partially closed...



Here is the card opened completely. You can see that I added some computer generated birthday wishes to each of the two inside panels.



Here is a side view showing the first part of the birthday wish...



Here is the second part of the birthday wishes...here's a hint - you have to sing it to the tune of "We wish you a Merry Christmas"!


Here's a quick recipe for my card:

CS - SU Sage Shadow and Cryogen White
DP - Melissa Frances from stash
Copics Used -
Skin : E0000,000,00,11 Chalk for cheeks
All Hair - E35, &26, 23
Dresses/hair ribbons/balloon - BG70, 93; RV91,93,95
Boots 0 E35,34,30,31
Buttons - stash
Ribbon - stash
Glossy Accents
Stardust stickles
FabriTac glue and Scortape
Crafters floss

I do appreciate your dropping by to see my new creation. Have and happy and safe weekend.

Blessings and hugs,

Barb

    WOWZER, Barb, this is FAB-U-LOUS. The Tildas look like they're on a stage. Love the fancy folds. Gorgeous colour scheme--love the soft colours and they sure are easy on the eyes. Your colouring--need I say it?--is as awesome as ever. Beautiful DP's you have. Kudos on the bows. Even though I have that Easy Bow, I can't get the hang of it--I suck at making bows..LOL.
