Lilac Tilda!

12:00 AM

Wow! It's warming up here in Ontario! What's it like where you are? I'm not a huge fan of the heat....especially the humid stuff. I'm a fragile flower, don'tcha know? I wilt in the heat. I'm just so thankful that we have central air conditioning!!

Anyhoo, I have a card to show you this morning that I made for a friend. She hasn't received it yet (I only mailed it yesterday) so I won't tell you who it's for. She might stop by and read this! Hehe!!

This is another new Tilda image from Magnolia Designs and I paired her up with the Wisteria papers by Basic Grey. I used this week's fantastic layout from the Friday Sketchers challenge. The card base is Elegant Eggplant with Almost Amethyst and Baja Breeze for matting and accents.

The image is stamped on Neenah Smooth cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I coloured her in using my Copic markers o' course! I also drew in the grass with my Copic multiliner pen. I attached some yummy Prima hydrangeas with Basic Grey brads, added some white satin ribbon and added a CCDesigns sentiment. I hope my friend likes it!!

Here are the Copic markers I used, in case you are interested: E00, R20, E41, E42, E43, E31, YG91, B60, B52, BV20 and V09.

As I said, I'm off to work at the library all day today, so no stampin' fun for me. I have to go to a workshop this afternoon with role playing and all. Blech. I HATE role playing....I mean who really likes it?? WHY do they make us do it? I feel ridiculous. Anyhoo, after work I'm going to get my eyes tested...I need new glasses. Lots of fun!

Have a super Tuesday!!
