Magnolia Summer Tilda with Strawberry

Happy Sunday Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I had a chance to work on a card today now that the pain in my neck and shoulder has subsided. I didn't do much coloring or cutting out so this was great for me.

My card base is 5.5" square and I used CTMH cardstock and gingham check in Bubblegum. The DPs are Doodlebug Pink Lemonade Plaid and Berry Pink. This cute little Tilda is from the new Summer Collection. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black on PTI white CS and colored with Copics. I cut Tilda out and popped her over the top of the strawberry with foam tape.

The colors look a little darker than IRL for some reason and the strawberry is really a lighter pink, closer to the color of the gingham DP.

I added some stickles to Tildas wings and berry dew drops to the flourish I punched out with my EK Success punch. Ribbon is from my stash.

I followed the Just Magnolia #15 sketch for this week, and had fun since it went quite fast.
I haven't added a sentiment yet as I don't know for what occasion I will use this card.

Enjoy your weekend, and thank you for stopping by today.

Hey Cami! I love that cloud background. It makes your card look very whimsical. Again, your Tilda card is fantastic. Beautiful job on your coloring and awesome choice of colors too!!

Hope Hawaii is nice and sunny. . .it's sunny here but way too hot! Ugggh! I miss the mild temperatures in Hawaii. We've been hitting the 100s the past week or so. It feels like I'm in Vegas! LOL!

Hope you're having a great weekend!!

You have really used the sketch well. I always struggle to get lots of different patterned papers onto my card but you have done it perfectly.

Love how you have done the ribbon too.
