Tilda wants to say Happy Birthday!


I can honestly say I was not happy with the card I posted the last time. It did look better in person but I could not get a good picture. Even in person it was not my favorite card. You know how you have something in your head and it just doesn't quite come out that way and nothing you do can make it right? Well, that was that card. So what is a girl to do but make another one today! I used a summery Tilda and decked her out for the holiday. She even has a matching floatie. I colored her with my Copics and then paper pierced the edges. I used October Afternoon papers and punched the red one with my Fiskers punch. The star was made at least a year ago by me and I never used it. It has been sitting on my table that long and I would go past it and think I need to use it. Finally! I am glad I waited - I like it on this card. The celebrate was a Papertrey Ink die and the sentiment is from Little Lady from Papertrey Ink.

I hope you all had a wonderful day today and continue to enjoy your summer. All too soon we will be up to our knees in snow again.

God Bless the USA!!

Until next time....Happy trails to you

    Oh Sheri this is truly outstanding - I love this! I love how you colored her hair and skin - I've been trying to learn how to do that with Copics. I loved your other card but am really glad you made this one too!
