Mom was always creative and fostered creativity in all 6 of her children. I sucked my mom into this habit when I took her to an SU party and she enjoyed it so much-one of the many things we had in common. Her philosophy was that if she wanted something (at a stamp party) she was going to order it rather than regret not getting it. We enabled each other at those parties!
I believe in giving credit where credit is due! I used Suzanne Dean's free tutorial (19-23) on coloring for a distressed look. I found it a great way to know which colors to use for the lighter look. I also used Card Couture white card stock. The color stays very light because it does not absorb into the paper very much. This Tilda is on Preorder at Magnolia-licous. Diana is ALWAYS getting orders in so it probably won't be long!

Hi Cheryl, My mom would have been 82 on the 5th. I know how you feel. My mom was an artist, musician, crafter, baker, and tried her hand at anything creative. I love that I have that part of her still with me. I make sure it passes down to my girls also. Beautiful card.
Hugs xx

Cheryl, this card to your Mom is so cute, I'm sure she would have loved it! I loved the Tilda in the chick costume also. I hope you had a pleasant day thinking of fond memories of your Mom. Blessings to you, Rea
Your card is precious. I loved reading about your special relationship with your Mom. What a lovely tribute! And, thanx for hooking me up with Suzanne's videos - they're great.
Wow Cheryl, this card is gorgeous! Your mom would be so proud! Your coloring is fabulous! Rosemary :)
Oh Cheryl! This is a beautiful card. My Mother would have loved it also. She would have been 90 on March 19.
Thanks for sharing.
The card is beautiful, I love the distress coloring. I miss my Gramma I lost a week from today about 10 years ago, But they forever stay in our hearts.
So cute, love your coloring and the papers are adorable.

Ah, yes, I remember that we have another connection! Our moms are 3 days apart! Happy Birthday to them! I know your mom would have been so proud of your accomplishments in this creative venue. I would have liked her, I know, because of her philosophy of buying when you want it instead of regretting it later! (Although it gets me into all sorts of trouble!) Lovely card, Cheryl!
