Tilda in Red and Gold

Hi all! I wish I could take a decent photo so you could see the rich colors of this card!

Oh well, I'll keep trying!

This is a Tilda from the Fall collection, available at Magnolia-licious here:

Diana's Fall sale will be ending soon.

I colored her the other night to match the beautiful Cosmo Cricket paper from last year titled "Wonderland" The rustic colors are terrific! I wanted Tilda's shorts to look like camel colored wool and her sweater to be a rich red. I had to blend some browns on top of my red to deepen the red. Then I used my blender to remove color.

The card base is Barely Banana. The flannel plaid layer is Cranberry Crisp. The dark green/brown paper is from cosmo, then another layer of Banana. The piece behind Tilda is a journal panel from the Cosmo pad. All layers are sponged on the edges with darker colors.

I think this week's SCS sketch works pretty well for my girl. Look at Kerry's wonderful card in similar colors: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1117518 We must have been channeling each other!
