Happy Easter Tilda

This is my favorite Tilda from the Easter Collection and don't you LOVE this egg! Me too!
Edited to correct: She is from the Love Collection and the egg is from the Easter Collection! As you may have noticed I almost always cut my images out (and often put them on dimensionals). Tilda is cut out, but with the detailed flowers on the egg image I just couldn't cut the egg out.
After I stamped it on white cardstock I colored and made a mask with a post it note. Then I softly colored the bg using aqua ink from pads, applying it with my stencil brush in swirl motions. It looked bland so I also added some pink. I'm sure you can notice my blunder, but all cards are unique, aren't they? I placed Tilda on the egg without adhesive and used my copic C1 to make an outling where she was going to sit. After moving her, I added more C1 and some C3 to give her a shadow. Instead of dimensionals, this time I stuck her on with glue dots. She;s a little bit raised because of their thickness.

I want to point out that when I cut my images I also cut the area between the legs. I don't have anything special to cut with, just my Cutterbee scissors from Joann's. I just cut up the edge of the sock to get to the unwanted area and snip it out. Easy!

I used shimmerz on the egg's ribbon and on Tilda. Maybe if you click to enlarge that will show up.

Oh, one more thing, do you see the cobblestones below the egg? Neat technique we learned in Copic class from Marianne. I colored the area in two shades of brown, then used a juicy blender pen (0), laid it down and waiting a few seconds. It pushes the color away! Neat, huh?

I'm sorry this is getting long. If you keep reading it will be worth it!
