Meet my new Tilda

I was so excited to receive a new Magnolia stamp in the mail this week from the Magnolia Down Under Store, I could not wait to get her inked up, and she was a dream to colour! My other Tildas are a little smaller and fiddlier to colour than the 60's Tilda, my biggest problem was deciding what colours to use, somehow they usually end up pink! I don't know why that is, with this one I thought the image was so girly it seemed appropriate, but I really wanted to do her in green... maybe next time (I plan to colour another one of her when I finish posting, what can I say, she is fab!)
With this card I used the sketch from Magnolia Down Under Challenges, I did not realise how great a sketch it was until I started making my card and everything came together so easily, it almost made itself. I know, I know, another easel card! they are sooo much fun, but this will be the last one, for a little while anyways :)

So here it is, all propped up:

A close up of the top of the card:

And a close up of Tilda, adorable isn't she? I have used crystal effects on her lollipop to make it shiny and delicious. The colours in the pic are a little paler than in real life, the hair came out alright but the dress looks washed out.

Ok, down to business, this card plays along with:

• Magnolia Down Under Challenges - Sketch
• Cute Card Thursday - Glitter me silly (I have glittered all the white areas in Tildas dress and the flowers in the corner. It all shows up best in the last photo)
• Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge Blog - New or neglected (Tilda and the sentiment are new stamps and the border punch I have had for years and years and have, maybe, only used once or twice)
• Simon Says - Thinking of you (sentiment says it all really)
• Creative Card Crew Challenge - Doodles (around the frame surrounding Tilda)
• Creative Inspirations Challenge - Doodling (as above)
• Magnolia down Under Store Challenge - Use a Yummy for your tummy collection stamp (check and check, hope I can still make the cut off for this one)
• Susies Sassy Challenge #2 - Pink and sparkly

Phew! I crammed a lot in with that one, most of those were a coincidence as I really just focused on the sketch when I was putting it together.
Thank you all so much for dropping by an taking a look, I really appreciate you taking the time to come over :)
