Getting ready for summer.....

I actually made this side step card for an upcoming challenge, but after it was completed I learned that we were to use only digital images from the sponsor. But nothing is ever wasted, right?

I have seen so many of these side step cards and really wanted to give this a try. Since the challenge was supposed to be a beach theme, I thought Beach Tilda #237 and the bathing Ring #612 both from the Summer Collection 2009 and available at Magnolia-licious. I also used Tilda Swimming #367 from the same collection.

Here is my card:

Here is a close up of Tilda and how she is colored. I used real crafter floss for the bows in her hair.

Tilda swimming in the water was a gift from a friend last year, but summer was over by the time the image arrived, so this is the first opportunity I've had to use her...



This is just a short post for today. I have lots more blogging to do and a new project in the process! I can't wait to show you my next card...
