Happy Birthday to you.....



Labor Day is now behind us and I must say it was the quietest one ever! I hope every one had a fun and safe long weekend. I did manage to get just a little crafting done, but spent some time getting my hubby out of the house for a while too!

This card is Singing Tilda #3052 from the Wedding Collection 2010. She is adorable, don't you think? She is also available here at Magnolia-licious! She is currently for sale at 40% off! What a great deal!



Here is my card recipe:

Metalic Cardstock - something I've had in my stash; Cryogen White; Very Vanilla
Copic Markers -
Skin: E00, E000, E0000
Hair: C01,03,05,09
Dress: G20, 21
Crystal Stickles
Dimensional Pearls
Atyou Spica pen -Gold
Sentiment - Just Rite Stamper Demi
Pearls - Stash
Ribbon - Stash
Nestabilities - Long Rectangles and Long Rectangles Scalloped
Circle and Scalloped Circle
Sewing Machine and thread
Pop Dots
Digital Designer Paper
Chalk to add accent around Tilda
Martha Stewart Punch - Deep Edge Lattice

I used and meandering stitch around my panels to kind of go with the flow of the dp.

Here is a closer view of Singing Tilda...



On the inside of the card, the beauty of the paper is left open and simply tied with ribbon with a few pearls for accent. While I used the Lattice Deep edge punch to accent my notation side.



I added my signature to the back on my card using my little heart on a ribbon peg stamp by Judith. The Made with Love portion is from The Cutting Cafe

  8. Hello Barb. Had you put her with blond hair, she would have reminded me of this great actress that once sang this song to a president... But, she has absolutly perfect black hair, OH! I wish I could take lessons from you... Background paper is so chic and delicate. It's a beauty.
    Hugs. Danielle.
