Die cut Tilda

Hello everyone

Today finds me off to the beach (whatever the weather) with work so I am praying for dry weather. Here's hoping.

The challenge at the Ribbon Girls is a Magnolia only one and the ladies would like you to add a die cut. Now that's a challenge for me - I love my die cuts!!! Here is my card for the challenge - 

I began by matting layering a 8 inch card blank with some papers from LOTV's Timeless Victorian paper pad (sorry you will be seeing this a lot - it's my new favourite). I added some velvet ribbon and lace from the Ribbon Girls. I then used Tonic's twisted twine square die set to cut the centre panel and attached to the card with foam pads.

The image is Summer flower Tilda which I coloured with the following Spectrum Noirs - 

• hair - TN5, TN7 and TN9
• skin - FS1, FS3, FS6 and TN2
• dress, shoes and bow - HB1, HB2 and HB3
• flower - HB1, HB2, HB3 and DG3
• wings - EB1, TN1 and lots of glitter
• background - IB1, TB1 and TB2
• ground - BG1 and BG3

I cut the image out using a Spellbinder's circle nestie, inked whilst still in the die with tumbled glass distress ink and matted it onto a Spellbinder's scalloped circle nestie. I attached it to the card with foam pads.

I cut several Doohickey vintage daises, layered them and added brads from the Ribbon Girls. The little embellishments behind the brads are from the Hobby House. I arranged the flowers on the card as shown.

To finish I added a sentiment from  LOTV's sentiment tags (set 24).

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge -
