I made this card in May of 2010, and with two others sent it off for publishing. One card I received back a few months ago. Just recently I received this one back, also with a rejection notice! I have so enjoyed doing stitching cards, and this will not deter me from doing more!
The image is #207 Fairytale Tilda from the Fairytale collection. I used Magnolia dp on this card, but have long since lost the list of Copic Markers I used.

A close up of Tilda...
Tilda was stamped and colored several times and then parts were cut out separately and layers built up with pop dots. Here is a look at the dimension...
On the inside of the card I used #1412 Prince Phillip and put him in the #6050 Castle Window.
The notation panel is hand stitched as well...
Thank you for stopping by to view my card. Your comments always mean so much to me and encourage me to keep on plugging!!!
Blessings and hugs...

ReplyDeleteI can't believe they didn't publish this card it's adorable just like you. thanks for all the wonderful comments you leave for me :)
What are they thinking of that they didn't publish this one!!! Oh honestly!!! This is simply marvelous, Barb. Beautiful embroidery work--love the design. And oh you even have a couple of corners for the inside. WOW, that's a lot of stitches. Gorgeous colouring of Fairytale Tilda and the frog prince in the inside is just perfect--I'd forgotten that they named him Prince Philip...LOL.
