My First Tilda!

Hello there, and welcome here on a Sunday! I just couldn't wait to post my first ever Tilda stamp. These cutie stamps are made by Magnolia, and I've been eyeing them for a while. I've been improving my Copic skills and finally decided that I could do these cute stamps some justice.
.
Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

.
Here's a close-up of Valentine Tilda. I was having a hard time with blending, partly due to the cardstock I'm using, and partly my skills. Then I saw THIS awesome card by Zoe from her Make It Crafty blog, and knew I had to learn how she did pleats. So my next image is almost done, and thanks to Zoe, {mwah} Thank-you Zoe!!!!!, my pleats have really improved, and so has my blending. I paper pieced her pink shirt because I didn't have the Copic colour I wanted.
Recipe: CTMH PP-Bella, CTMH CS-Amethyst, Pansy Purple, Olive & Colonial White, CTMH Ink- Bamboo & Black, CTMH SS-Katrina Relief, Magnolia-Valentine Tilda, Nestabilities-Labels 4, Impressabilities-Flourish, Cuttlebug Die-Vintage, Pearls, Prima Flowers, Foam Squares.

Hair-E31, 33, 35 & 37

I've been lurking over at Copic Creations Challenge Blog, and I finally have a card to submit for one of their challenges....Challenge 42, What's New. I used my new Magnolia stamp!

Thanks for stopping by,

  16. Wow Deneen, you have done an excellent job at colouring those pleats!! And the way you coloured her knees is perfect! Great shading and depth. I am always so happy to hear I have inspired others. Thank you so much. I just love the layout of your card too, it's so pretty and what a great idea to paper piece when you haven't got the colour you are after. Hugs xxoo
