Ice Cream Tilda

I usually don't do cards so fancy but this one just seemed to take on a life of its own.
I colored this Tilda with distress inks. I think I need some more practice but she turned out ok. There is crystal stickles on the ruffle and cuffs of Tilda's overalls. The lace is some leftover from my daughter's wedding veil that I made. The dark purple paper around the edge is suede paper. The next layer is from Authentique. And then there is a scrap of another paper. The shiny purple around Tilda is a die cut from Stampibilities. It is a rectangle scallop that I cut in half and overlapped one scallop to make it the right size. The flowers are from primaflowers and have half pearls in the centers. A few pink sequins are around the edge and a crinkle ribbon bow complete the card.

I think it's adorable, Peggie. This Tilda is one of my favorite summer stamps. I am still not that confident with distress inks myself but I think you did a wonderful job. That's what makes her unique; I love the broken water color effect of your background. Fabulous card.
Hugz,

Your coloring is always awesome, Peggie :) Luv how you adhered/tied the ribbon on the corner. It looks fancy, matches with their stamps :)

Very pretty card, Peggie! I love all the shades of purple you've incorporated into your card. The watercoloring on Tilda looks good to me.
