Just Magnolia & hAnglar & sTanglar DT - Pink, Lace and Pearls

 Woohoo!!  It is time for another challenge over at Just Magnolia and hAnglar & sTanglar challenge and this week Mo has chosen a super gorgeous theme of Pink, Lace and Pearls!  Such a lush combination and perfect for the girlie card I needed to make for my friend's little girl!  I was so lucky at Christmas to win one of the Magnolia Advent Calendar days and included in the gift was this cute Tilda stamp and gorgeous love heart paper.

 I fancied a change from Copics as I do a lot of Copic colouring behind the scenes and at times it feels quite stressful and fast so I had a lovely slow down and used distress inks for a change.  Isn't Tilda just the cutest in this tiger suit and I think you can colour her in any colour really, seeing as it's a fancy dress costume!  I added stickles to the bow and around the edges of the image mat.

 The large flower was cut from pink tulle and some of the paper using the peony doohickey die and the other flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps and the leaves were also cut with a doohickey die.  The brad is from The Hobby House.

 I added some glittery clock hands using Tim's weathered clock die and attached them with a brad at the 4 o'clock position seeing as she is 4 :).  I finally used my butterflight on the edge die - it has been sat unopened for a couple of weeks now (tut, tut!) and I added some tiny butterflies to it with a Martha Stewart punch.

 The letters were cut with another Tim Holtz die and covered in stickles and the ribbon for the bow is from my stash.

 I added some pennants to some bakers twine from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and a stickled number four to the centre flag.

Woohoo!!  It is time for another challenge at Just Magnolia and hAnglar & sTanglar challenge and this week it is my turn to host the challenge and I've provided a sketch which I hope you'll enjoy using!  I'm also sooooooooooo excited today - I'm going to watch Swan Lake tonight!!  eeeek!!!  I have always wanted to see a ballet and I just can't wait!  My card may look a little familiar as it is very similar to my preview Goodbye and Good Luck card - they were made on the same night for two teachers who were leaving my Son's school!  The gorgeous papers are by Magnolia and I've distressed them with walnut stain distress ink.

Tilda is coloured with copics and I've added stickles to her apron, teardrop and lace on her handkerchief.  I've inked around the image mat with victorian velvet distress ink.

The tag was cut with a doohickey die and I have added some letter tiles created with Hampton Arts alphabet stamps.  The butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart punch as was the border on the white cardstock.

The gorgeous blossom is by Prima and the rest of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I added some cheesecloth behind the image and a butterfly charm from The Hobby House.
