Lucky Tilda

She's the one on my card today. Why lucky? Because she was saved from having to go into the bin, along with all the rubbish that I was clearing from my craft table. Last night I had an urge to clear my craft table as it was getting out of hand, and I was getting mental blockage just by looking at it. I used to clear my table after every card, but recently I've been too lazy busy to do housekeeping. And so I found this Tilda that was stamped on a piece of scrap kraft paper. I never had the intention of colouring it and was about to throw it away - until it crossed my mind that I had never tried Copic markers on kraft before. The rest is history.

Erm, one other thing: Just pretend that you didn't notice that Tilda is sitting on a slope, OK?

Supplies: Bon Voyage Tilda Stamp, Papertrey ink Argyle background stamp, Make it Crafty Lasercuts, Copic markers, Colour pencils, Fluid chalk ink, Rhinestone, Walnut stain distress inkpad, Black enamel accents, Glossy accents, Nestabilities Wonky Rectangle

Instead, you should notice the beautiful laser cut chipboard on two corners of the image! They were from Zoe! You can buy them from Make it Crafty, there are so many designs to choose from. She was soooo generous and gave me plenty of those to play with! These babies are so intricate, not to mention delicate as well! Just add them to your card and immediately you get a whole new look! You can paint them, emboss or even ink them - just customize it to your liking :) As you can see my card is almost free from embellishment except for the 2 pieces of lasercuts which I added some rhinestones to match my card :) Oooh..and I love that argyle background stamp by Papertrey ink too!

I'm submitting this card to Make it Colourful Challenge this week - Dotty backgrounds. It's been a while since I participated in a colouring challenge.
