Tilda brings some sunshine to a rainy Saturday afternoon .......................

It was such a rainy Saturday afternoon that I used sunshine colours for this card.  Tilda holding a gift has been coloured with Prisma pencils and blended with Sansodor using paper stumps.  I added stardust stickles to her hat, dress and most of the mulberry flowers.

I found it a bit difficult to get the colour just right on her face using Prisma pencils, but will keep practicing.  The background papers were from an October Afternoon pack and I actually sat at the sewing machine and stitched around all the edges - just shows what good progress I am making with my hip replacement!
I used Copics pens to add just the right shade of golden yellow to these Mulberry flowers (30mm rose, 10mm semi open rosebuds, white pretty blossoms - the white gyp is from Wild Orchid -  then I added some gorgeous cream traditional fan pattern Cluny Lace and 15mm Berisford golden yellow double faced satin ribbon. (Mulberry Roses, Rosebuds, Pretty Blossoms, lace and ribbon are all from Ribbon Girl)

This card is for Just Magnolia & hAnglar & sTanglar Challenge - Anything Goes (I didn't make use of the option to use circles on this card)
