Springtime walk


Hi everyone, hope you're having a good weekend. A card today for two challenges, with a theme of spring time. I've stamped and coloured Tilda with tulips and the little scene is freehand watercoloured and I hope springlike :). Mini Tilda with bouquet is wandering off into the distance, I think she has enough flowers :D

I used dies for the card shape and all the layers, the patterned paper is Webster's Pages. and I dyed the seam binding with distress ink/mica powder mixture and also Ranger Perfect Pearls mist. 

Thank you for your lovely comments and enjoy your weekend.

Sitting here smiling so BIG Chris! I wait for you to post your Magnolia creations because every one is so gorgeous! I LOVE this scene you painted! So beautifully colored and designed... I want a tree stamp like this! lol So glad you do Magnolia stamps! Thinking you reversed this Tilda though??? Did you use one of those mirror rubber stamps? TFS! I love it!
