Swimming with Tilda


Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend! My weekend started well as our papercraft group met yesterday at our local community house for scraping and cardmaking; we always have a nice relaxing time and sometimes we're even productive! Their reaction to my card was "Oh My Goodness - Sharon's made a card that doesn't have flowers!"

This is my Guest DT card for Magnolia Down Under Challenge. This week the theme is masking, so I thought I'd use Tilda in her swimsuit and then mask her and stamp the floating swimring over the top. She has been coloured in copics and after cutting and embossing with nestabilities I've used chalk to colour the background before removing the die.



The papers I've used are by Kaiser, the cardstock is Bazzill and I've used the sewing machine around all my panels. This net ribbon was purchased recently and isn't as dark IRL..more teal. The charm has been in my stash of goodies for years...finally used it! Pink and Aqua gems complete the card.



I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:-

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Childhood Memories
Mad for Markers - Use E00, R20 and BG15


Thanks for stopping by, I've been soooo busy lately I haven't made too many cards... hopefully that should change soon!
