Hi friends, I sure hope everyone is enjoying the holiday break and looking forward to ringing in a New Year! At our house, tonight will be a quiet one, we just returned from our place in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, a mountain resort. All I wanted to do this evening was stamp, and then in the middle of assembling my card, our daughter called and asked to take my camera for the evening!! What, my prized possession that I use to take pictures of my cards for challenges?? I got a lot of glue on my fingers hurrying this card along...so forgive me if the glue isn't dry. But I had a 1/2 hour warning and was scurrying to get this done! I wonder if our kids know the sacrifices we make for them!!
Anyway, this card was made for Magnolia's challenge for the month...it is on my sidebar if you would like to participate. The challenge was a sketch, and there were 5 circles on the side. Well, I had this new PTI sentiment set,. and was thrilled to find a "Peach" in there...it fits so well, and sentiments rarely do that for me!! I used some new prima flowers I had.
The most challenging part of this was trying to color the peaches with my copics as I had no peach colored copics, but found with a little experimentation, the orange, yellow orange, and yellow worked, who'd a thought? That is one advantage to having a limited number of copics, I am forced to experiment a lot with layering different colors and usually I find success! I also used prisma pencils on Tilda's apron and highlighted with my signo white gel pen!!
Tilda and I thank you for coming by...have a safe and Happy New Year!!
so glad you got home safely from Steambost....those are some twisty/high roads....must be challenging in the winter/snow.....enjoy your evening of quiet....that's what I shall be as well...quiet and relaxed.....am staying out of the stamp cave as it is really frizzin today...hopefully will warm up soon....it is way too early to be this cold....
ReplyDeletewishing you a Happy New Year.....
and by the way, your card is fabulous
Awwww this is so sweet.. I agree about the sentiment. It is perfect. How interesting that you combined copics to achieve the color you wanted.. She is so cute. I hope you had a really great time away and hopefully your camera returns safely. Happy New Year...
ReplyDeleteWow, Traci, you did a fantastic job on this card. Nice coloring, layout, embellishments, everything!
ReplyDeleteAwww! I always love your Tilda cards, Traci! You've colored her so beautifully, and I love the gorgeous ribbon!
ReplyDeleteI like the snowflake scene on your blog, too!
Hubby and I are all snug in our homes tonight. We are waiting for Jess and his girlfriend to arrive, and we'll watch a movie, stuff our faces, and have a little bit of bubbly at midnight. Then, I'll probably crash.
Traci, thank you for the gift of your friendship. I wish you many blessings in 2010 and a very Happy New Year!!
Traci you always make the sweetest Tilda cards. This is sooo cute! Perfect embellishment for the peachy Tilda. And I'm glad you got the photo in before loaning out your camera. DH and I are I think going to watch a movie and then crash. The kids . . at least I Know where they all are tonight! Yay! Biggest of big hugs and thank you for a wonderful year of friendship. You are a treasure.
ReplyDeleteI love your Tilda, she is just peachy!
