BUTTERFLY TILDA

Good evening, well the weekend is almost over. And I have not done very much work at all. This is the first card that I have actually finished in two days. Yesterday was just a really dreary day and I spent a lot of time dealing with the realities which are my life. This did not leave a lot of time for play. I did do a little coloring and try a few new coloring techniques. Some I liked, some I didn't. This Tilda has been laying on my desk for a couple of weeks along with several other images. but, it is like my mojo took a vacation. I will be glad when it comes home.

Anyway, I made this card to enter into several challenges. The first is the sketch from Just Magnolia,

I liked the simplicity of this one. I made it into an easel card. I used Butterfly Tilda. The next challenge is at Fab N' Funky no DP. The next is Paper Play Challenges pretty pastels. Let's not forget, I love Digi Challenge thank you card. Flutter by Wednesday butterfly, angel, fairy. I would also like to enter this card in a challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy, It used to be Cute Daisy May, I am so glad that Linnie is back. She came back with a new name and new images. This first challenge is as you like it. And you don't have to use her image this time, you can use any image. The challenges are also going to be monthly instead of weekly. I think I like that. Well, here is my card.



I am not really happy with my skin tone. I am finding it really hard to work with more than to colors. But, I guess practice makes perfect. I colored this image with my copics. The card stock is all from Bazzill. The bling is from my stash and the ribbon is also. I found the butterflies in my embellishments. They are something that I bought from the clearance shelf at Hobby Lobby, they were marked $.38 for about 30 small butterflies in pink and black. The copics used were E21, E25, E11., BV00, BV02 Bv17, W3. I used crystal stickles on the wings along with metallic gel pens for the colors. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. I used my Cuttlebug for emblossing and nesstibilities for cutting out the sentiment. I have a flourish stamp which I used around the sentiment.

Well, this is it. I hope you like my card.

    What a cute card!! Love the bling and butterflies!! Too cute!! Hev you tried using E11, E00, and E000 for skin tones. They're a little lighter and easier to blend for me...that's what I started using...now I use darker colors occasionally (E13, 11, & 00). I think it's just about finding what you're comfortable with!! Very adorable card!! Pat Frank (VA)

    The commentators are right cant have enough bling. Perhaps you need to get an E00, for the skin and use the E21 for the shadows on the skin, may help. But the overall card is lovely

    Very sweet card. I use E00, E21, and E000 for the skin. The lighter colors are much easier to blend. I think your card is still great =)
