King Tilda



Good morning everyone and a very happy Saturday....whoohooo!!! Well, I am continuing my journey with distress inks. I hope you like my new creation! I used a wonderful sketch by the incredibly talented Tanja (Stampin Piper) for FRIDAY SKETCHERS #140.
I am also entering this card in the JUST MAGNOLIA AND HANGLAR&STANGLAR CHALLENGE BLOG.
I found some excellent watercolor paper....now I have to initiate a search for the manufacturer.
I used BoBunny papers on my card. The beautiful lace is a gift from my fabulous friend, Claudia. The castle is a stamp from Great Impressions and, of course, Tilda is from the new "You are So Special" Collection, available at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store. The site was down last night, so I don't know if she has the collection up.
Thank you so much for visiting. I appreciate all of your comments.

    Absolutely wonderful Christina, your coloring is fabulous, your shadows are very well done. Ink coloring is rich and warm, but not easy, and I admire your perseverance my friend. Don't give up, practice will let you master this medium more and more. You will fee more at ease. Love this very pretty paper, gives a happy ambiance to your scene. The beautiful lace is perfect accessory to this precious scene. The little hearts are so cute! Yes, noticed your new picture, WOW! I love it,nice to see your very communicative smile!Have a wonderful weekend, coloring more beautiful images! Hugs. Danielle.
