(E.T.A. 7:25 pm) WE JUST HAD A SHORT, WILD, WINDY THUNDERSTORM!!! GUESS WHAT?! Then bright sunshine and a rainbow… I grabbed my camera and took this out the window, so it’s not great but how COOL!
Tilda is bringing us a great reminder today, especially since it’s that time of year around here! This cutie Tilda in Spring Rain is available HERE, part of the Chasing Butterflies Collection. Colored with Distress Inks available HERE. EK Success Medium Retro flower punch and leaf punch. I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher instead of thread in the button holes (I did put them in by hand). The cute saying is from an Inkadinkado clear stamp set called Friendly advice available HERE, I still need to get this one HERE, so cute! Gingham and polka dot paper is by October Afternoon…scallop ledger paper is from Creative Imaginations. I edged everything with Antique Linen Distress ink and the ink blending tool (link in sidebar). Tilda and the sentiment are stamped with Versafine Onyz Black Ink available HERE.
Linking to the Magnolia Down Under Challenge blog today…the theme is polka dots!

Pam, congrats on your growing family circle!
Oooh, you make me want to bring out some of my old Tildas too. Love this image, haven’t used her much. Love your colouring in distress ink–decided not to go there, though. I’m experimenting with coloured pencils instead. I like the sentiment on your card.
Hugs.
