Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #54- Spots and Dots


Hi everyone! Welcome back to another Stamptacular Sunday Challenge. This weeks challenge is to use at least two pattern papers that have spots and/or dots. Our sponsor is the wonderful Meljen Designs. You want to get over to her blog and see her adorable images. She has generously offered to give away 4 images of the winners choice.

This was such a fun challenge for me. As I looked around my craft room at my ribbon and my dp I found I had an abundance to chose from.

Once that selection was made, I needed to find just the right Tilda. I wasn't happy with any that I have in my personal collection, but I did find a stamped image that was sent to me by a stamping buddy. I think this is called Tilda with Lilacs and you can find her at Magnolia-licious. I don't see her in stock at the moment, but I'm sure Diana will get her in for you if you just drop her a note.

Here is the card I made for this challenge...



Here is my card recipe...
Cardstock - Chocolate chip and Whisper White
Designer Paper - Bo Bunny's Flutter Butter Breeze
Chocolate Pearls,
Ribbon from my stash,
Sewing Machine and thread
Flowers - from Wild Orchid Crafts
Punched leaves and butterflies - Martha Stewart Punches
Pearl pin - stash
Charm - stash
Flower Soft

Here is a closer view of how I colored Tilda...



At the time I made this card I didn't finish the inside of the card, but at a later date I needed a birthday card, so quickly finished the inside but didn't get any pictures of it!

As you all know, the flowers are the highlight of my creative process. Sometimes I can take several hours, or leave it and come back in the morning before I make a final decision about their placement! But here are my flowers, with pretty butterflies landing on and around them, brought together with a bow with a charm hanging from it...



It seems that I always use so many Copics on my cards. I frequently use 3 or 4 markers in attaining the shading I desire. Here are the Copics I used to color this card...



I hope you'll find the time to join us this week at Stamptacular and enter a card in our Spots and Dots challenge.

Thanks for dropping by to see my challenge card this week...

  28. Your card is so beautiful. The coloring is great, but the flowers really make the card. Do you do tutorials on your method of choosing what flowers to use? What colors, type - roses, daisies, buds, leaves, etc? I really need help doing the floral arrangements.

    I love all the flowers on the cards on your blog!!
