New Year, New Card...

Hello my dear blogging friends. I have completed my first card for this new year and also my first card in more than 7 months. I'm sooooo rusty. I received this image with last months Magnolia Ink magazine, and try as I may I can't find her name. I am calling her Tilda with Puppy in Basket. I received also at Christmas a Drafters Table so that I can color on an incline instead of a flat surface. It's made a huge difference to the stress on my back. I didn't keep track of the Copics I used to color Tilda...as I said I'm really rusty at all of this. The CS and DP's, sentiments, tag and clip are from Stampin Up.  I used Spellbinders Label 14 around the image and behind that is a Martha Stewart punch around the page.

 So here is Miss Tilda.... 





Thanks so much for stopping by my blog for a visit. It feels so good to be crafting again.
 Blessings and hugs, 
 Barb

    Hi Barb!!! Wow!!! What a way to be rusty with your card making!!!!!! It's fabulous!!!! Do you find much of a difference using the inclined table? I know it feels better for your back, but is it just as easy to color? Uh... duh.. obviously!!! Look at how gorgeous it is!!! I have the stamp, too, but haven't inked it up yet!! So cute!!! Have you heard from the little ones lately? I often think about them and how they are doing! Hope you and your hubby are both doing much better... so good to have you back!!!!
    Hugs,
    Teri

    Oh gosh! You certainly have NOT lost your touch. If anything all of the creativity that you have been storing up just came out of your fingers. Great card and such an adorable image.

    Well it may be a long time since you made a card but you certainly haven't lost your touch. I enjoyed looking at your smocking. I used to smock a lot for my kids when they were little.

    Hi Barb, I am so glad you to you blogging and hope you are well!!
    Your card is wonderful and the coloring is just as amazing as usual. I have this image too, but because of my so very unorganize personality, I lost her and couldn't find her? lol. One of these days, I am sure she will turn out, then I would come back to get some inspiration from your card :o)
    Take card my friend!!
    Hugs,

    Barb, you haven't lost your touch. Your card is fabulous. I didn't get a chance to colour this Tilda as there were so many new ones I got to play around with. Awesome colouring and I love the colour scheme. Gorgeous DP--elegant looking. Fab floral arrangement.
    Love the card. Happy that you're back.
    Hugs,

    Welcome back, Barb! You've been missed! I wish I could color as you color when you are "rusty!" On to have a drop of your talent! I just love the softness of the card. The colors you used are wonderful. The periwinkle is wonderful!

    Hey Barb! I hope things are going okay in your world. It's so nice to see you creating and I just had to mention how sweet your card is. That drafting table sounds really nice and something I might look into one day myself. Much easier on your back. I wish you the very best in this new year! Hugs!
