Hanna's sketch for Valentine Tilda



I managed several challenges with this card - which is hardly suprising as it's Valentines day before long.

I decided, rather than go with the usual pink or red combination for a Valentine card I'd give purple/mauve a whirl - I think it works. I followed one of the amazingly talented Hanna's sketches. The image, Magnolia's Cupid Tilda, is coloured with Copics and edged with distress ink and the hearts are from Magnolia's winter collection. The DP is is by Rico designs and I use Basic Grey's flourish stamps around the edge, stamped and heat embossed using white powder. The pearl swirls are by Prima and the butterfly, flowers and lace are from my stash.


This is the fabulous sketch I used
