I'm so glad you stopped in today! Cottage Creations is one year old!! It was a big step for me to do this and it is thanks to Diana Crick that I made the leap! She asked me to design for her with Magnolia images that she was just beginning to sell in the states and Canada! See below for blog candy info!
I love these images so much that I wanted the opportunity to show more stampers how beautiful they are. If I've inspired you in this past year I'm so grateful and you've inspired me ten times as much with your wonderful support and comments! I thank you!!
Enough gushing! I rushed to finish this card this morning and am happy with it. It has an old fashioned appeal with the light blue and cream. Actually Tilda's dress was a "clean, light blue" and not a good match so I took E42 and dirtied it up a bit!
I used confetti cream card stock from SU for the base. The dp is from a K& Co pad called Bailey.
The rest is pretty self explanatory, I hope and the copics I used are as follows:
E0000, E01, E93 skin; Y21, E17 and E25 hair; B41, B21, B0000 and E42
I'm pulling my blog candy together. It will certainly include a Basic Grey pad, a couple of Magnolia images, and a card that I would love to make for you! And probably more...
Just leave a comment here for this card and details will follow as soon as I can get my act together. Say anything you like in your comment (keep it clean! :) or tell me what is keeping you busy these days-work, deadlines, kids, whatever!
This is Jam Tilda,
Available now at
With deep appreciation, I must get ready for work!Have a great Tuesday!
Huge stampin' hugs,
Cheryl
This is fantastic. I love how you have coloured Tilda in and the colours you have used for the overall card. An inspiration to others.

ReplyDeleteTilda's card is soooo beautiful! Your color scheme is the bomb! I wish I could turn cards out as beautiful as yours are, but I'm lucky to be stamping at all due to my disabilities. I still have enough good days to make cards for the troops & a local nursing home, but I'd love to make cards as gorgeous as yours. Such great ideas!
ReplyDeletecongrats!!! you are quite creative and provide lots of inspiration!! thank you!
ReplyDeleteCheryl! your beautiful cards are always an inspiration.. your shading and highlight are wonderful.
