LEMON YELLOW TILDA

Wow it is Thursday and I am in the middle of packing for my trip to Chicago, to see my family. But, I wanted to post this card before it got to late. I will probably not get anything else posted before Tuesday.

This is for a challenge at  Die Cut Dreams and it is called Lemon Tilda. That is where my title comes from. I don't usually use yellow and I don't wear yellow unless it looks like mustard and I mean spicy mustard. But, I have done this card totally yellow. The Tilda image used is one we practiced coloring on at the last copics class that I attended. But, I will be going over to Magnolia-licious Online Store to see if Diana has her in stock. I really love this image and had not ever seen it before. The image was colored with copics E53, E13, E25, E51, E50, Y02, Y04, Y11, Y15, YG67 and W3. I used crystal stickles on the wings. My papers are from the Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. The ribbon is also from the fabric department of Hobby Lobby, I really love this crinkled edges of the ribbon. The roses are Prima. The bling is from my stash. The butterfly is from my stash of butterflies. I like this one because it is shaped with wire and has fabric in the center with a little bling. I embossed using the circles folder from Cuttlebug. The sketch is from Pricilla Styles Midnight Madness sketch : Pricilla always has 2 sketches. One fancy and one simple. I chose the fancy one.



I am not really happy with my skin tone. I tried to make it better after it was dry. Take my word for this, it does not really work well once the inks are dry. That is why teachers tell you to blend while it is wet. But, oh well. it is not all bad. There are several challenges that I want to enter this card into.

Flutter by Wednesday Butterflies, Angels, Fairies
Totally Stampalicious Texture licious
Cute Card Thursday Dieing for a Punch (no die cuts or punches allowed)

Well, that is it for now. I will be back on Monday with a new project. I hope that you like this one.

  1. I don't know this Tilda, but she's not as bad as you may think. I had a similar issue with blending on a project I did recently. Your Tilda looks much better than mine. :~)

    Sweet and lovely card! The yellow is so pretty.

    Smiles!

  4. Joyce, this is a lovely card and I just love yellow. Tilda looks good, you know - her skin tone is just fine. I think she's sweet and the butterfly is just the summery kind of feeling this card gives out. Great job! Have a fun trip with your family - be safe. :-)
