Tilda with summer flower ...

Morning to all you lovely crafters, hope you all had a fab easter weekend.... haven't posted in just over a week as last weekend was my 13 year olds birthday party, and silly me decided to fall down some steps outside whilst carrying trays of food, so ive been a little bit bruised and sore as i landed mainly on my face and head, so i haven't felt much like crafting, but im nearly back to normal now, so decided to make a card or two over the weekend...........

                               I have made a criss cross easel card using summer flower Tilda, 
                                               she is one of the older Magnolia stamps,
                                                       but i think she is so adorable  

                                                   

                                                      I coloured her using my copics markers ....

                                                              These are the colours i used

                                                          Skin .... E000, E00, E11, E20, E22

                                             I used Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics paper, 

                                                             which i have added gesso to .....

                                     

                                                 I have used spellbinders ovals and scalloped 

                                              ovals for the mats, the flourish is a  doohickey die

                                               and the adorable little bow is from sue wilson ....

                                                 The lace and pearl string are from my stash,

                                                    and the flowers and wooden heart are from

trot at work, really want some time with my family and to create some cards......

                   Today I've got a card to share, and I'm so happy as I've been looking for this 
magnolia stamp for about 12 months now as it is an old one, it is sold out everywhere but 
finally managed to get it from eBay, I think she is so cute ...
                               
                                 

                                   I have coloured tilda up using my copic markers......
