Tilda with Daisies and Mushrooms

Hello, Friends! I know it seems a bit early but I had to start digging out my autumn stamps because our mornings are getting brisk here in Colorado. Autumn is very close upon us so I felt an urge to make a fall themed card.

I decided to color Tilda with Daisies and Mushrooms from the Turning Leaves collection. I used some pretty Maja Design papers that I have in my hoard stash. These are from the Walking in the Forest collection. I still have several sheets left to use for some scrapbook pages and cards. I also used Bazzill cardstock, my favorite, for the card base and some of the die cuts.

I’ve been coloring with Distress Inks more as well because it’s very relaxing. I need to work on my backgrounds a bit to get them smoother and I like to use darker shadows to really make the image pop. You are sure to see more DI coloring from me.

I still love my Copics but I can color an image in half an hour so it is not as relaxing. DIs take me a bit longer and it helps to reduce stress.

Here’s a close up of Tilda.

Midweek Magnolias - Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Wednesday, Friends! We have a new challenge ready for you at Midweek Magnolias and this time our theme is...

Thanksgiving or Giving Thanks!

If you join in with the theme and follow our ROOLZ, you could have a chance to win a Mystery prize from Magnolia Sweden.

I decided to make a Thanksgiving card that features “Tilda with Daisies and Mushrooms” from the 2012 Turning Leaves collection. She is colored in Copics with a machine stitched edge around her frame. The card shape is a Go Kreate XXL die. I cut two sizes and then used the inside of the die to cut my designer paper.

I added some Tilda Tags, lace, jute twine and mesh with distressing and stitching to create a vintage design.

Here’s a close-up of Tilda.
