Some more Tildas

In my haste to add the Mermaid Tilda step-by-step, I forgot to show you the other cards we did in last week's class.  I love the subtle colours of this one in grey/green, peach and brown.
Edwin looks cute leaning against the fence.  The bunting is made by stamping with a Kaisercraft clear stamp several times on different coloured plain cardstock, cutting the individual flags out and making a 'rope' from butcher's twine.  The papers are from Basic Grey and I've added a 'rosette' shaped greeting with a toning ribbon trim
Tilda and the tulips is actually 2 stamps.  I stamped Tilda onto water-colour paper, masked her with a Post-it note then added the tulip path.  It takes a bit of practise to get it in the right place if you don't want her treading on the tulips or hiding them under her skirt!  The colours are very pale and used my old Marvey Markers scribbled on a tile for a palette with lots of water.  A Marianne punched border, silk flowers, QuickKutz butterflies, a peel-off sentiment and a few jewels complete the picture.
