Tilda with small gift....and some sweet stuff for one of you!

Hi there! How is everyone this week? I'm having a dandy time - much improved on the last few (apart from losing wii monopoly several times this week! Lol!).
Been catching up on some DVD's this week, the Imbetweeners - hilarious! Lucky number Sleven (awesome film - definately a must see) and Once - which is a bit arty but also very good. If anyone has any films they recommend I'd be very grateful for the heads up!
Apart from that this week I've also had the debate with my boyf about naming cars...He doesn't... I have named every car I've ever had (a short list of three including my most recent one). The first was Betty Blue, the second Roxy and my new car is Owen (due to number plate determination I'm afraid!). Is this a girl thing? If so just out of interest what do you call your car? And does your other half have a name for theirs too?

Well onto this weeks card. We were given the challenge of using "stripes" on our projects this week, and as you know I've had a few Magnolias in storage awaiting inking so had to give Tilda with small gift from the 2011 collection a try. Here's what I came up with...

I distressed all of the edges with a distressing tool and inked with walnut stain

and then stitched. The papers  in the background and stripes are from K and Co, the centre square is Old Book by magnolia.

The sentiment is from a whimsy sentiment set and reads "sending you a gift from the heart on your special day". The metal heart is from the Paperlane in Northallerton and is mounted with 3D foam pads.

Tilda as always is coloured with DI's. I used a blended combination of fired brick and black soot for her dress to match the backing papers. There's white gel pen on here too to bring out the little flowery spots. I've used diamond stickles underneath, but this isn't clear from the photo.

The large flower underneath the rose was part of a gift from the lovely Mona from CI - thanks sweetie! The other flowers are all wild orchid crafts, but I've distressed them with walnut stain (large rose) and fired brick (dahlias). I've also added diamond stickles on these. The pearls are made with salmon viva decor pearl pen.

I really hope you like her!
