Challenges, Challenges, Challenges

Good evening everyone. I am back and ready for another challenge. This time at the Basic Grey Challenge blog. I have been wanting to do one of their challenges for weeks and I could not because you had to use at least 2 items from their line. I hope that the two sheets of Basic Grey paper from the Lemonade paper pad counts. I got two pads for my birthday on Monday, the lemonade and the wisteria pad. I do love them. I hope to get some of the brads and things real soon.

My image was colored with my Copics (what else?) and for this card I used Tilda. I am not sure what this is called, but she has wings and is sitting with one knee pulled up. I had originally colored her to use on the previous Tilda card and then changed my mind. This Tilda like so many others can be bought at the Magnolia-licious Online store. Diana, the owner is wonderful and the customer service that she gives can't be beat. I have never had to wait very long for my orders to ship. Go on by and take a look. If you don't see something, just ask Diana.

The sketch is from Basic Grey. The card base is Bazzill and I used my Cuttlebug for a little embossing and cutting. The flowers are Prima and the yellow ones are from my stash. The oval that Tilda is sitting on was cut on my Cricut. The pink checked paper is  from the scrap file. This card will be used in two other challenges, the second is PaperTake Weekly, the challenge is to use gingham or checks. I think I have that the covered. The first Basic Grey DP is multi color gingham. and then there is the pink checked paper in Tilda's mat. the Third challenge is over at Sophisticat Challenge blog is to use stitching, either real or faux. I had to go with the faux because taking out my sewing machine is just to much of a hassle for a few stitches, but know that I am look for a place where I can set it up for always. I really do like the look of the stitching on other peoples cards.

The Copics used are:

Skin: E00, E33, E31
Hair: E09, E27, E21
Shoes: E21, E31, E29
Pants: R27, R29 and spica glitter pen Lipstick
Shirt: RV11, RV14
Wings: crystal stickles
Bows: Spica glitter pen Lipstick

Well here is my card and I hope you like it. The words from your comments make me work harder to get better.
