FS110 Ain't She Sweet?

Good morning! It's another sunny day here!

This is the first Tilda I've colored with darker colored skin and I love her! She is so pretty in her spring pink outfit!

When I started the plan was for a pink and white card, but somehow I could not get away from this happy dotted My Mind's Eye paper. So I added some aqua to go with all the pink.

I made this card for the Featured stamper on SCS today-Twinshappy.

I suppose you're wondering about her skin color. I put a post up on the Magnolia-licious Yahoo group and got several answers from wonderful stampin' friends. Here are the links they sent to me.

Dierdre

I Like Markers

Wonderful Claudia

My stamp is a Tilda from the Pink Collection last October and it came from Diana's Magnolia-licious store.

I used Dierdre's colors for the most part. I colored the cheeks first with RV34 (don't have E32 YET!) Then I colored the skin with E33. I shaded a bit on the edges with E35. I then tried to blend a little with E33. I found that I couldn't blend with the blender because it removes color and I couldn't keep her skin smooth and even. One of these cuties is in the scrap pile. Maybe you'll have better luck. In the end I think she came out okay.

Other colors used are:

R20, R81, R83 and RV34. Her hair colors are E08 (again, I didn't have Dierdre's color, YET!) I dotted both colors on as she suggests and then I used E33 to mix them a bit.

My background oval is cut from an oval nestability. I leave it in the die and use a 1" stencil brush to swirl on color from my PTI Aqua Mist pad.

Thanks for visiting my little creative corner of the web!

Tilda Valentine for January sketch

Well, it's almost the end of our Christmas break so what was I to do today? Create something, of course!

I made this card to go with the Magnolia-licious January sketch (see one post down for ALL the details!

I've been very stuck on brown lately, this time I paired it with coral colors. It also includes many of My Favorite Things so I think it qualifies for today's Limited Supply challenge on SCS.

I use a Martha Stewart flower, Basic Grey and Cosmo Cricket papers, my cuttlebug with embossing and Nestabilities and Magnolia stamps!

Here are the copic colors I used: Face, hands and legs E00, E02 and R20 for cheeks. Hair E31, E35, E37 and a touch of E51. Yellows Y17 and Y38. The pinks, reds, and corals are listed from light to dark. They are R11, R20, RV42, R22 R32, R35, R29, R59.

(Thanks to those who comment that they like when I list my colors!)

oh, yes, the Tilda is from the Pink collection and I was inspired by Claudia to use the bench on my card! Thanks, Claudia!

Guess that's it for this post! Have a creative weekend!
