Once Upon a Time in Tilda's Town

Hello my lovelies! Are you happy it's finally the end of the week? I sure am! I also wish we will have a nicer weather for the weekend. It has been raining (and flooding) and gloomy lately...but on the bright side, I see green everywhere! I have a pile of cards that needs to be photographed but because of the gloomy weather, I don't have the right lighting for a photograph. Well, I'm used to just natural lighting so I guess I have to wait for Mr. Sun to show up.  OR I need to finally make a
 Light Tent/Box.  My friend Pam has a video tutorial on how to make one... and I think I need to make one.

Anywhooo... we have a new challenge at Tilda's Town. This week our theme is
 ONCE UPON A TIME
I'm pretty sure a lot of you already have a stamp or two from the Once Upon a Time Collection.  They are so adorable! One of my favorite images from this collection is Tilda Longstocking. Just like Pippi Longstocking, she is just the cutest. How many of you still remember the Pippi Longstocking movie? I was in grade school when it came out and I loved it!  And I think it was nice of Pauline to draw a Tilda based on Pippi Longstocking because to me, Pippi is a fictional  Swedish character. Well, the author of Pippi Longstocking books was Swedish...  so I just assumed.

Now on to my card.
I colored Tilda using DIs (as usual... but I really need to go back to my Copics soon!) The shades of lilacs, purples and lavenders has been my favorite lately and I enjoyed playing with the colors.

Here's a closer look at Tilda.

The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I painted them with some gesso.

I played with some Frantage Color Fragments and some Crackle Accents and I love the result!

For the inside of card, I made it simple with butterflies and the Corner Die.

Sadly, this is going to be my last post as a Tilda's Town DT.  Tilda's Town Challenge will be a year old next month and I am so proud and honored to be part of this wonderful Design Team for a year.  I will miss all the girls on the team especially Pam, our DT leader and team coordinator who is the best and I'm sure all the other TT DTs will agree with me. :)
