Missing You

Here it is Tuesday afternoon and I am home posting a new card. No, I did not lose my job. I woke up this morning feeling more lousy than I have in a very long time and decided that I needed a sick day. I have been sleeping on the couch until about 45 minutes ago. After getting up and eating a little something I had enough strength to finish up a card that I had already started. My image is a Tilda and you already know the best place to by your Magnolia stamps is Magnolia-licious Online Store, Diana is always ready to give the best customer service in the states.

My card could probably be used for many occasions but I decided to use it to tell someone that I missed them. I also am using this card in a few challenges:

First up is Stamp Something, Something cream and green
Second is the Pixie Dust Studio Pixie Challenge, Buttons and Flowers


And last but not least is Secret Crafter Saturday, Anything goes This was my first time visiting them, but I will be returning again soon.

Now a little about my card. The card base is Bazzill "Glass Slipper" which has a shiny texture to it. The cream and green card stock is also Bazzill. The DP is from the My Minds Eye Home Collection. The ovals were cut on my Cricut. The flowers are Prima frosting flowers. The brads are from my stash. The buttons are from the Paper Studio. The leaves were punched with a Martha Stewart punch. And I used my Spellbinders fancy tags to stamp my sentiment which is from Inkadinkado. I used my Copics to color Tilda who is leaning on her elbows thinking how much she misses my friend.

Skin: E00, E11, E31 (I am trying some new colors)
Hair: E13, E15
Top: E40, E41, YG95
Crystal Stickles was used on the wings



I hope that you like my card as much as I do. Now I think I need to go back and lay down some more.

    What a sweet card. You can just see Tilda missing someone near and dear to her heart, probably Edwin. Hope you feel better soon.

    Hi Joyce, when I first saw that sketch I was wondering how you could do anything with it, but then I scrolled down and saw your card and I thought, oh how beautiful! This card is so sweet and I love the layers of buttons and flowers! Your sentiment die is just perfect for this layout and you've colored your Tilda so perfectly! Excellent job...
