Summery Tilda with Flower Birthday Wishes

Image
Hi everyone hope you're all well! I've gone and bought some new Magnolia Stamps this week! (Even though I'm beyond broke right now!!) lol and I've made a summery Birthday card with my first newbie: I paper pieced her bow and dress (even the fiddly shoulder and sleeve!) from the yellow patterned paper and done a bit of experimenting with swirly stamps in the corners of the yellow paper. I was a bit nervous to stamp onto the patterned paper incase it didn't look right but I used brown ink which matched perfectly, black seemed a bit dark for this card. I also stamped a few little butterflies I found in my stash and inked around the edge of the image. I drew and cut out the cloud by hand and mounted on 1mm foam pads I used: Little London - Magnolia Tilda Stamp Indigo Blu Quintessentially English Stamps Wee stamps (mouse) Promarkers Dovecraft Garden Party Papers Ranger Liquid Pearls Martha Stewart Doily Lace Punch WOC yell
