Gift-giving Tildas

It seems that blogger has "improved" it's program yet it seems to be making it harder for me to post my photos where I want and the way I want them.  hhhmmmm....  more time tryiing to post and less time crafting.  NOT what I really wanted to be doing.  But I do want to share this really cute card so I'm going to muddle through.

Here we have two Tildas - they must be twins - and one is giving the other a very special gift.

 

 I used the sketch for this card from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  Below is this week's sketch. 

I was going to do this card something like the image below except for having Tilda in the center of the doily but then I got the idea to add another Tilda to the inside!

I really like the seeing the cute Tilda on the inside opening her gift.  If I had thought of this before coloring the girls, I would have made sure that the gifts were the same - but oh well!  Live and learn, right?

Here is the inside of the card.  I thought it would be really fun to adhere the circle that I cut out of the purple dotted paper to make the window behind the Tilda opening her gift.

 

I'm also submitting this card for the Magnolia-licious Highlights challenge which is:

*4 Flowers

*3 types of patterned paper 

*2 Magnolia images 

(any image by Magnolia qualifies/ ie. accessory, background, tilda/edwin, animal, sentiment, etc.)

*1 Ribbon

Another challenge I'm submitting this card for is Just Magnolias.

Their challenge is to use a Magnolia stamp and all your favorite things.  Well, I did!  I love Magnolia stamps, ribbon, flowers (the ones I used here are gems), die cuts, copics, sewing machine, a button... I don't know what more I could have added to this card!  

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed your stay.

Santa Tilda on Winter Mitten

I had so much fun making this card. 

It qualifies for several challenges.  First, I got the sketch from Stamp TV Sketch Spotlight Challenge- STVSKSP5,  There She Goes Challenge which is to use your stash: (I used some polar white flower soft that I bought a YEAR ago and haven't used since.), and Just Magnolia which is to make a Christmas card. 

Here's a different angle so you can see the dimensions and the fun flower soft on her hat.

I colored Tilda with copics and then added the fluff to her hat by adding the polar white flower soft.  The mitten is from Gina K Designs and was stamped in melon mambo and bermuda bay.  The tag was made with Stampin' Up stamps and tiny tag punch and the snowflake was made with both Sizzix die cut and Martha Stewart punch with a little light pink gem in the center.  The circles were cut with Spellbinders.  

Thank you for stopping by!
