New Card: Tilda with Flower Pot( Butterfly Dream Collection)

 I  finally done all my cards and projects for the next Magnolia INK magazine. I have some spare time today so I made a card that in Butterfly Dream Collection, Tilda with Flower Pot.

I stamped Tilda on 300gsm watercoloring paper with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink.Then I colored her with distress ink pads.

Dress and shoe: Bundle Sage

Jacket: Black Soot

Hair: Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain

 I arranged the flowers and decorated the cards with all kind of embelishments like Prima marketing pebbles, half pearls and Ranger Ice Stickles.

I used Magnolia mini papers which just release during spring and it's 6"x 6", it's so convenince when we want to use them for cardmaking. You can buy them at most of the online stores which carry Magnolia products.

I  also used Tim Holtz sizzix Heart and wing die. I cut it out with my cuttlebug machine, painted with Old paper and picket fence crackle paint on it. Let it dry awhile then I distressed it with Walnut Stain distress ink pad.
